I
t seems like there's no stop-
ping Eli Tomac right now. The
Monster Energy Kawasaki
racer is in the zone. During the
2013 AMA 250cc MX Nationals,
Tomac—then riding for the Geico
Honda squad—was unstoppable
just like this. It didn't matter
where he started, he would still
win. In fact, his Geico Honda
teammates at the time got hole-
shots in a majority of the motos,
and his teammate Wil Hahn got
more holeshots than any racer in
the series, and somehow Tomac
still won the championship and
got exactly zero holeshots.
