2020 Salt Lake City Supercross Rnd 17 Results: It’s been a wild ride but the final round of the 2020 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series is finally here, more than a month later than originally planned. Eil Tomac (Monster Energy Kawasaki) is expected to wrap up his first career 450 Supercross title today at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Utah. He comes into the final race with a 22-point lead over the only rider who has a mathematical chance of winning the title, Cooper Webb (Red Bull KTM). Tomac is guaranteed the number-one plate with a 19th-place finish or better in the main event, even if Webb wins, otherwise, the title is Tomac’s–but he still has to at least qualify for the main event.
Tomac and Webb tied for top qualifying honors going into this afternoon’s racing program, each posting a 49.438 heater. The two are very close on speed overall, too, despite the track being slightly more technical than the other six Salt Lake tracks, when you take into account that only a thousandth-of-a-second separate the two with their second-best lap.
Malcolm Stewart (Smartop/Bullfrog Spas/MotoConcepts Honda) is hauling, too. He is third quickest, followed by Dean Wilson (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna) and Benny Bloss (Rocky Mountain MC/WPS/KTM), whose name was at the top of the leaderboard for a short time at one point. Ken Roczen (Honda HRC) was the 11th quickest.
Zach Osborne (Rockstar Energy Husqvarna) suffered a hard crash in the first qualifying session and took a handlebar to the stomach. He sat out the second session but it appears that he’ll race this afternoon.
The final round features the 250SX East/West Showdown, where the top riders in each division will compete against each other in the main event. Chase Sexton (Geico Honda) was the top qualifier in the East and Dylan Ferrandis (Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha) in the West.
The race for the 250SX East and West Championships will be decided this afternoon as well, but things are much closer in both. In the East, Sexton leads Shane McElrath (Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha) by just six points, so a third in the main will ensure his second straight title.
In the West, it’s pretty much the same scenario, with Ferrandis leading Austin Forkner (Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki) by seven points. Again, a third will seal the deal for Ferrandis for the second year in a row.
“Tean tactics” could come into play this afternoon. With both divisions racing at the same time, trying to figure out a game plan for any of the title contenders will be tough, but at least for Sexton, he will have many of his fast teammates–Christian Craig, Jett and Hunter Lawrence, and Jo Shimoda–all out there that could help him out. Ferrandis has his teammate McElrath, but he’s in a title fight of his own. Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha’s Colt Nichols and Justin Cooper could be in a position to help out either Ferrandis or McElrath. Forkner will have Cameron McAdoo on his side, as his other teammates, Jordon Smith and Garrett Marchbanks, are sidelined with injuries. CN
Racing begins at 1:04 p.m. local (MST).
