Davies one year ago in Denver.
The newly crowned Eastern
Divisional champion held strong
and stayed upright even when a
retaliatory attempt saw Deegan
hit the deck a few laps later.
This marks Davies' sixth win of
the season and adds icing to the
cake in his breakout season.
"That was a great race,"
Davies said. "I didn't get off to a
great start, but I made it happen.
The pressure is off so I could
come out here and ride full out.
It was fun racing like that, going
back and forth, cat and mouse. I
enjoyed it."
Levi Kitchen made his way to
second after a chaotic race. The
Monster Energy Pro Circuit Ka
-
Deegan (250SX West) and Cole
Davies (250SX East), all eyes
were on Deegan in his final ride
aboard the 250cc machine as
he moves to the 450 class for
the outdoors and the SuperMo-
tocross Playoffs.
Davies
emerged as the Show-
down standout and settled the
score between
him and Deegan
in a pass that was one year in
the making. The Star Racing
Yamaha duo made quick work
of another Star Racing Yamaha
rider, Max Anstie, making their
way to the lead in the early laps
and giving fans their money's
worth. Davies' pass for first saw
him make contact with Deegan,
reminiscent of Deegan's pass on
dreamed of how good it would
be to be on the podium each
weekend. That dream then
shifted to wanting and believing
I could be a winner. Fast forward
to now being disappointed in
battling for the 450 Supercross
Championship…so many great
moments, ups and downs. I
wasn't scared to fail, and I al
-
ways gave it my all."
250SX East/West
Showdown
The 250SX East/West Show-
down saw the best from the
East
and West go head to head
for a final Supercross matchup.
With both championships al-
ready decided between Haiden
Deegan and Davies went back
and forth for the lead with Deegan
ultimately hitting the deck.
