450SX Class Standings
Eli Tomac enters the race on a two-win streak, demonstrating formidable form early this season. He is closely followed in the standings by Ken Roczen and Hunter Lawrence, who displayed strong performances in their last outing at San Diego. Chase Sexton, recovering from a poor start last week, ranks fourth, while Justin Cooper and Cooper Webb sit in sixth and seventh after consistent efforts in the previous main events.
Key Question: Will Tomac secure his third consecutive victory, or can Roczen, Lawrence, or another contender disrupt his winning momentum?
250SX West Division Overview
In the 250SX West Division, Haiden Deegan leads the points after a controversial win last week, which involved a significant incident with teammate and Anaheim 1 winner Max Anstie, who currently sits second in the standings. Anstie’s combined finishes of 1-5 have kept him in contention, while Chance Hymas, Michael Mosiman, and Ryder DiFrancesco complete the top five.
Levi Kitchen aims for improvement, having faced challenges with crashes in both opening rounds. With finishes of sixth and fourth, Kitchen’s potential for a podium remains if he can secure better starts. Deegan’s speed remains unchallenged despite the scrutiny of his tactics.
Looking Ahead
With two rounds completed and a diverse array of competitive racers, will we see a third winner emerge in the 250SX West Division or will Deegan continue his charge?
