cross at Rice-Eccles Stadium, the penultimate
round of the 2018 Monster Energy AMA Supercross
Series. In the 15 previous races, Anderson had four
wins, four seconds, three thirds, three fourths, and
one seventh-place finish (Daytona). His two clos-

podiums. Until now.

son finally had the kind of bad luck that everybody
else has suffered at one time or another in this
series: Going into the first turn of the main event,
