2022 MINNEAPOLIS SUPERCROSS // 250 MAIN EVENT RESULTS

The time has come when we finally get to see the 250 East Coast go head to head for their chance at getting valuable points in the championship. In qualifying, it was Austin Forkner who would claim the top spot in the qualifying throne, beating out Jeremy Martin who sat in second, and Levi Kitchen, who’s just starting his pro career. We’re super stoked to see the gate dropped after the meat grinder that was the West Coast series, where 90% of the factory field was found being carted off by the paramedics. Now with a full roster, the field is stacked, with first to 30th being separated by only 3 seconds.

So scroll down below to find out where the riders will place when the gate drops.

250 MAIN EVENT RESULTS

Austin Forkner was quick off the gate, but after Jett grabbed the lead, he wouldn’t be able to catch up to the Honda rider.

Austin Forkner was quick to cross the holeshot line first with Jett Lawrence and Cameron McAdoo side by side. After one lap, Jett Lawrence would take the lead from Austin after squeezing out space for Austin’s bike in a berm. Max Vohland had an unknown get-off and would leave the track with dirt on his shoulder. Jordon Smith had a big crash landing on top of a tuff block and over the bars.

Jeremy Martin raced in fourth place with Rj Hampshire in fifth. At six minutes remaining, Cameron started to fall behind and Jeremy Martin began to catch up to the Pro Circuit rider. With a minute and two laps remaining, the field became spread apart. Jett Lawrence would go on to win the first Main Event of the 250 East championship.

250 HEAT 2 RACE RESULTS

Austin Forkner had a pretty dodgy move on Phil Nicoletti going into a turn. Thankfully, both came out on two wheels and kept racing.

While on the line for the Heat Race, Mitchell Oldenburg’s bike died and would fail to start even after several bump-start attempts. When the Heat took off, the rookie Levi Kitchen grabbed the holeshot. However, a mistake would let Jordon Smith by for first place and Rj Hampshire would make his way to second as well. Austin Forkner nearly wadded through one of the rhythm sections but maintained his position in the race at fourth place. Phil Nicoletti made his way past the green machine but after a pretty reckless move by Austin, the PC rider would jump into the side of Phil, pushing both off the track but the two stayed on both wheels.

With one lap remaining, Rj Hampshire would put pressure on Jordon and make the pass on the inside of a berm, taking first place.

250 HEAT 1 RACE RESULTS

Jeremy Martin launching past the mechanics, which also doubles as a jump pad at the start of the races.

It was a teammate lead after the first turn with Josh Osby and Kyle Peters led the first Heat race. Pierce Brown got into the mix sneaking his way into second and eventually first passing both of the Honda riders. Stilez Robertson made his way up into third after Josh Osby made a mistake losing valuable positions. Max Vohland raced in fourth place while Jett Lawrence began to close the gap. The track looked considerably better than it did in qualifying. Pierce’s lead grew to over four seconds and Kyle Peters started to feel the heat from both Stilez and Jett battling it out. At two laps remaining, Jett had more momentum through the whoops making the pass for second place. Pierce Brown would go on to win the first Heat.
