MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS, AN FIM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
ROUND 10 / MARCH 10, 2018
DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY / DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA
P50
J
ustin Brayton has been on the gas all year,
but his biggest successes have come early
in the night with heat-race wins, which he
has not been able to convert into wins in the
main events. He did win one of the three races
at the Atlanta Triple Crown a week earlier but
that won't go down in the record books as an
official Supercross win. At Daytona International
Speedway, however, Brayton again won early in
the night, taking the opening heat-race win. But
this time, Brayton backed it up with his first-ever
win in the main event. This one will indeed get
written into the history books.
The win was not only Brayton's first, but it also
set a new record for the oldest racer ever to win
an AMA Supercross main event. Brayton turns
34 the week after the Daytona Supercross, and
the previous record-holder was Mike LaRocco,
Justin Brayton takes down his first-ever main-event
win, and sets a record in the process
Braytona!
