DALLAS 1 SUPERCROSS RESULTS: NEW LEADER!

Hot on the heels of Daytona, the 2021 Monster Energy Supercross season resumed in Arlington Texas. It would be the first of three consecutive rounds in AT&T Stadium. Round 10 for the 450 class  saw an intense rivalry between Ken Roczen and Cooper Webb continue, but they would never go wheel to wheel on the track.  In the main event, Cooper Webb took a nearly flawless win while Roczen was mired in the pack. The result was a nine-point swing with Webb now in command of the series. In the 250 class, it was a break-out victory for rookie Seth Hammaker. The early season favorite Justin Cooper struggled to make up ground throughout the main event until a last-ditch attempt at passing Cameron McAdoo for third failed.   For extended coverage of 2021 Supercross, click here.

It was Husky versus Husky in the first turn as Dean Wilson got there first with Jason Anderson right on his tail. Dylan Ferrandis was right there as well with Kenny Roczen settling into fourth.  Anderson took over fairly quickly, but Wilson stayed right on his rear wheel. Pretty soon Roczen joined them and Justin Barcia made it a very tight battle up front. Roczen made a number of attempts at passing Wilson, but was frustrated every time. In the second half of the race, Roczen came up short trying to clear a triple. He went down, but remounted in seventh. Anderson won with  three seconds over Wilson and Barcia close behind.

Marvin Musquin got the holeshot with Aaron Plessinger second, but Joey Savatgy passed them both in the third turn.  In the ensuing shuffle, Plessinger got right on Savatgy’s tail and Musquin lost ground. Eli Tomac and Cooper Webb were back in seventh and eighth at first, but pretty soon they were pushing Malcolm Stewart for fourth. On the fourth lap,  Plessinger took the lead.  Shortly after that, Musquin also passed Savatgy, but that didn’t last long. Musquin crashed hard on the next lap. In the final minutes, Webb took over third place with Tomac in fourth. Plessinger won with a safe gap over Savatgy. Musquin would not rejoin the night’s racing.

450 MAIN

Dean Wilson came into the first turn on top, but in a very short time, Cooper Webb was in front. More importantly, Eli Tomac was nearly last and Ken Roczen was outside the top 10. Dylan Ferrandis had an uncharacteristically good start and found himself in second within a lap. Justin Barcia was on the move, too, and soon passed Wilson. Then he  took the opportunity to move into second when Ferrandis made a mistake. A few places back, Jason Anderson and Malcolm Stewart were getting rough with each other. Stewart got the short end of their final encounter and went down. A few laps later, Anderson also came in hot on Ferrandis, and that resulted in the Frenchman going down. In the middle of the race, Aaron Plessinger was one of the fastest riders on the track. He passed Wilson and started making up ground on Chase Sexton, who was quietly riding in fourth behind Anderson. Roczen, in the meantime, had caught up to sixth and Tomac was ninth. In the closing laps, there was very little change. Webb won with a four second gap over Barcia, who had another four seconds on Anderson. Sexton stopped Plessinger’s charge and Roczen had to settle for sixth, losing his red plate for the time being.

The Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasakis looked good in the first 250 West heat, with Seth Hammaker and Jordon Smith jumping into the lead.  They battled for most of the race with Hammaker holding an edge while Alex Martin lurked back in third. Jace Owen was fourth for much of the race, with Jordan Bailey, Kyle Peters and Garrett Marchbanks eventually getting past.

250 HEAT 2

Justin Cooper had to fight for the second heat.

Justin Cooper took the second heat, but it certainly wasn’t easy. Jalek Swoll got the start with Hunter Lawrence and Cooper in second and third. It took half of the race for Cooper to move into second, then he had to force his way past Swol to take the lead. It wasn’t over then, because red plate Holder Cameron McAdoo passed his way into second on the next lap and reeled in Cooper ever so slightly. It wasn’t enough in the end. Cooper took the heat ahead of McAdoo, Lawrence, Swoll, Chris Blose and Robbie Wageman.

250 MAIN

Seth Hammaker and Jordon Smith were up front at the start of the 250 main, just as they had been in their heat race. Hammaker held the edge while Hunter Lawrence and Jalek Swoll followed. The battle for the championship, in the meantime, was taking place further back in the pack. MaAdoo was  fifth and Justin Cooper was eighth. Smith pushed Hammaker in every turn, getting more and more aggressive. Five minutes into the race, it caught up with him. He missed a jump, letting Lawrence into second. Two laps later he would slide out on a jump face trying to stay in front of McAdoo. In the final laps, Cooper finally caught up to McAdoo. He made the pass for third, only to lose it a turn later. On the final lap, he was attempting another pass and went down. Hammaker won with a couple of seconds over Lawrence with McAdoo solidifying his points lead with a third.
