2023 HANGTOWN NATIONAL MX RESULTS

One week after the opening round at Fox Raceway in Southern California, the Pro Motocross parade traveled north for the Hangtown National at Prairie City SOHV in Sacramento. The devastating news that Chase Sexton would not compete for medical reasons left the 450 class even more depleted and opened the door for Jett Lawrence to repeat his win from last week. Lawrence confirmed his status as the man to beat leading every lap of both motos.  The 250 class on the other hand, is fat and deep, with several rider who can win. The first moto saw Haiden deegan lead from start to finished, but the overall once again went to Hunter Lawrence with a 3 – 1 score.

450 MOTO 1

The first 450 moto saw Dylan Ferrandis reach the official holeshot line first, but he was passed by Jett Lawrence before reaching the second turn. Cooper Webb,  Adam Cianciarulo and Aaron Plessinger followed, but the only rider who was moving forward was Plessinger. He passed his teammate and then looked like he might take the fight to Ferrandis, but never really took a shot. There was virtually no passing within the top 10 for the rest of the race. Lawrence established a 6-second lead over Ferrandis and managed it all the way to the flag.

450 MOTO 2

Ferrandis and Jett Lawrence argued over the lead in the first turn, with Lawrence coming out on top. In the confusion, both Cooper Webb and Aaron Plessinger passed Ferrandis and that set the order for the first half of the race.  Lawrences established a small margin over the three-way battle for second. Eventually Plessinger passed Webb and actually got away, leaving Webb to handle Ferrandis alone. Late in the race, Plessinger fell and broke his clutch lever. He remounted in fifth, right behind Adam Cianciarulo. In the end, he struggled with the clutch and lost another place to Jose Butron. Jett won with a 5-second lead and Webb held off Ferrandis for second. Ferrandis still secured the runner-up spot in the overall standings.

250 MOTO 1

Haiden Deegan got the holeshot of a lifetime with his teammate Justin Cooper in second. Most of the key players had so-so starts, which allowed Deegan and Cooper to build up a good lead early. Spanish Star Yamaha rider Guillem Farres was third, but eventually, Hunter Lawrence clawed his way into the number three spot. By that time, he was too far behind to make a run at the lead, which allowed Deegan and Cooper to go one-two.

250 MOTO 2

Justin Cooper looked more like his old self as he pulled the second moto holeshot. This time Haiden Deegan started around 10th, while Hunter Lawrence was securely in second and in attack mode. He passed Cooper on the third lap and slowly pulled away. Tom Vialle soon settled into third and remained there. Deegan was able to catch up to a distant fourth. Early in the race, Jo Shimoda tangled with a lapper and crashed, but he was able to come back to 10th for a fourth overall.
