VOL. 54 ISSUE 25 JUNE 27, 2017 P57
In the 250MX class, things are
just getting better and better for
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's
Zach Osborne—even though
he didn't get the overall vic-
tory. In Tennessee, Yamalube/
Star Racing Yamaha's Aaron
Plessinger took down his first
MX National win since 2015, but
Osborne's 5-1 for second on the
day extended his points lead to
a whopping 31, and we haven't
even gotten to the halfway point
of the series yet.

Having won the second moto at
the previous event in Pennsyl-
vania, Tomac headed to Ten-
nessee with hopes that he had
righted the ship.

Suzuki's Justin Barcia actually
snatched the holeshot to start
the first moto with a slew of Su-
zukis mixed into the pack behind
him. RCH Suzuki's Justin Bogle
started second, just in front of
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's
Jason Anderson, Barcia's Suzuki
teammate Weston Peick, Red
Bull KTM's Trey Canard (back for
his first race of the MX Nationals
since suffering a broken col-
larbone in May), then Monster
Energy/Yamalube/Chaparral Ya-
maha's local boy Cooper Webb,
Suzuki rookie Ronnie Stewart,
and Bogle's Suzuki teammate
Broc Tickle.
Anderson and Barcia fought
it out for the lead for most of the
first lap before Barcia finally gave
way.
