250 QUALIFYING RESULTS // 2023 EAST RUTHERFORD SUPERCROSS

The weather is warm and the track is looking pretty dry as the 250 East/West Showdown has arrived at East Rutherford for the 2023 Monster Energy Supercross season. Two riders have the potential of effecting each other’s season as the Lawrence brothers have a clear lead on the rest of the field. However, if the cards are played just right, Hunter Lawrence has the chance of clinching the 250 East Title today. But nothing can be assured as Hunter was a bit shaken up after his near-catastrophic save at Atlanta. But before we get to the racing, we have to find out who’s quickest on the track, qualifying results are posted down below.
