2023 SEATTLE SUPERCROSS RESULTS

Supercross returned to the west this weekend as Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington hosted round 11 of the 2023 season. If any one race could summarize the season so far, this was it. It had all the elements that we have seen time and time again in 2023; Chase Sexton going blazingly fast, but then falling down; Cooper Webb slowly gaining speed to become a contender late the the race; and Eli Tomac somehow finding the speed to win when he needed it most. In the 250 class, we returned to the Western Regional series, which has been idle for weeks. The name on top is still the same, though. Jett Lawrence picked up where his brother left off in the Eastern series by qualifying fastest and winning. In qualifying, Jett’s time in the 250 class was the second fastest of the night behind Sexton the 450 class. For extended coverage of the 2023 Monster Energy Supercross season, click here.

450 HEAT 1

 

Christian Craig was up front at the start with Adam Cianciarulo and Aaron Plessinger following. The three of them set a good pace that saw them pull away. Justin Barcia was buried in the pack at first, but he  picked his way toward the front. Cole Seeley was making a rare appearance and riding well in fifth for most of the heat. Before long, Plessinger passed Cianciarulo and set out after Craig, while Barcia caught up to Cianciarulo. On the final lap, Plessinger made a few attempts at stealing the lead, but had to settle for second.

450 HEAT 2

 

The second heat was loaded with most of the top contenders. Cooper Webb managed to lead the entire race, but there was plenty of drama behind him. Most of it was provided by Chase Sexton and Jason Anderson. Eventually the two of them came together, and Anderson went down. Sexton then set out after Webb, but came up short. Tomac, in the meantime, quietly caught up to third.

450 MAIN EVENT

 

Kevin Moranz got the holeshot, but he had all the heavy hitters right behind him. Chase Sexton made a few polite attempts at taking the lead, then put Moranz on his head. Ken Roczen was second  with Adam Cianciarulo, Eli Tomac, Cooper Webb, Jason Anderson and Justin Barcia all nose to tail. Tomac and webb went back a forth a few times, then Tomac passed Cianciarulo and Webb in one move. A couple of laps later, Tomac passed Roczen. Sexton looked like he was going to make a clean break as everyone else traded positions, but just before the halfway point, his luck ran out. He crashed all by himself and dropped back to sixth. That left Tomac in front with Roczen second, but then Webb came alive. He passed Roczen and closed on Tomac. In the next laps, Tomac and Webb developed a healthy gap. Roczen dropped back and Barcia moved forward. In the final laps, Tomac actually found more speed and opened up a 4-second lead.

250 HEAT 2

 

Levi Kitchen and Stylez Robertson were up front early in heat two, but Cameron McAdoo and Jett Lawrence were close behind. Roberson made a mistake that allowed both McAdoo and Lawrence by. Then it turned into a McAdoo versus Lawrence battle with Kitchen slowly getting away. Halfway through the race, McAdoo and Lawrence collided and both went down. While they scrambled to get up, Robertson regained second place.  Lawrence was able to pass McAdoo after they remounted, and then he passed Robertson, but by then, Kitchen had a 14 second lead.

250 MAIN EVENT

Stilez Robertson and Hunter Yoder jumped out front with Cameron McAdoo, Jett Lawrence and RJ Hampshire all following. Within two laps, Jett had passed everyone and taken the lead. Robertson then went down, setting up a battle for second between  Hampshire and  McAdoo. They weren’t far behind Lawrence, but neither of them could manage a serious threat. Most of the race saw Jett in control with a gap of around 3 seconds. McAdoo passed RJ and got away briefly, but RJ came back on the final lap to regain second place.
