OVERALL 450 QUALIFYING RESULTS
Chase Sexton has been flowing well with the track this afternoon, came out in both practices at full pace, and put himself in the top qualifying spot early. This would not last as Jett Lawrence would put his head down and put in a time almost a full second ahead of Chase. Jett, who rides well in rough, rutted conditions, is going to be quick all day in these conditions. We did, though, see all of the top riders make slight mistakes in qualifying. All find themselves on the ground at one point. Lawrence leads them in times going into the motos.

450 GROUP A QUALIFYING
Early in the first qualifying session, Jason Anderson was first to throw down a fast lap, putting himself into the pole position. He seemed to be running a great pace until HRC Honda riders put in lap times almost two seconds faster. Chase Sexton led while being closely followed by Jett Lawrence. Jett nearly matched Chase’s times in multiple laps but was unable to take the top spot away from Sexton.

Jett attacked the track, all while staying composed and in control. A lot of the time people may think he’s not even trying.
