NASHVILLE — Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton took the round 15 win in a rare daytime Monster Energy AMA Supercross race. Tomac distanced himself from the pack as Sexton moved past Justin Hill to take over second just three minutes into the race. Just over five minutes into the 20-minute plus one lap race Barcia moved forward into third place. From there the race leaders held their spots on the slick, dry track. A minute and a half into the 15-minute plus one lap race Smith held first ahead of Lawrence, Smith, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Jo Shimoda, and Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan. Late in the race Lawrence had built a comfortable lead while Shimoda, Smith, and Deegan ran close enough that each of their positions were in jeopardy. Lawrence brought home the race win and with it his first Monster Energy AMA Supercross title.
