450 MAIN EVENT RESULTS
All eyes drew to the battle for third place in the championship as both Malcolm Stewart and Justin Barcia duked it out.
Justin Bogle grabbed the holeshot during the Main Event being followed closely by Cooper Webb and Jason Anderson. By the end of the second lap, Jason Anderson had grabbed the lead and Chase Sexton followed the leader, moving up into second. At 15 minutes left, Malcolm Stewart squeezed by Cooper Webb for fourth place and the fight for third in the championship got way more exciting as now Malcolm and Justin were just seconds apart. With 11 minutes remaining, Malcolm Stewart flew past Justin Barcia for third, but a few turns later, Justin Barcia aimed his crosshairs at Malcolm’s radiator and the Husky rider would go flying.
But just wait, the chaos didn’t stop there as Marvin Musquin made an aggressive pass on his own teammate, Cooper Webb, for fourth place. It was clear at Malcolm Stewart was fired up as he started knocking on Marvin’s door with 8 minutes remaining. Just a couple of turns later, Malcolm made the move on Marvin. With two minutes remaining, Malcolm Stewart was within ear shot of Justin Barcia as the GasGas rider had to weave in and out of lappers. Jason Anderson would win his fourth race in a row with Chase Sexton in second and Justin Barcia in third as the leaders lapped all the way up to seventh.
Later, Justin Barcia was penalized 10 points for the Malcolm Stewart incident. The AMA allowed him to keep his podium finish, but the 10 point penalty knocked him back to fifth in the points standings (a monetary fines will probably be announced on Monday). standings
