Hunter Lawrence claims first-ever podium in Arlington 1 Supercross

Hunter Lawrence claims first-ever podium in Arlington 1 Supercross

The 2021 Arlington 1 race held its 41st consecutive season of supercross racing in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.  This is the first time that the area will host three rounds in one season.

The third round of the AMA supercross 250SX West Race went underway in Arlington, Texas, and Team Honda HRC rider Hunter Lawrence bagged his first podium result, sweeping a runner-up finish. Lawrence raced among the top riders for the entirety of the 250SX main event in what was an impressive performance by the Australian, who also took third in his heat race.

Chase Sexton was strong throughout the 450SX program, riding to a solid fourth-place result in the main event. The rider showed an impressive performance despite recovering from a shoulder injury. Teammate Ken Roczen, however, suffered a heat-race crash which resulted in the 13th gate selection for the main event. The German worked his way through the pack to finish sixth.

Lawrence, Sexton and Roczen will continue being in action on Tuesday.

Hunter Lawrence (Team Honda HRC)- As It Happened

“It was an awesome weekend here in Dallas, to kick off the first three of three races. We ended up on the box in second, and we’re very happy with that. We got an average start, made a few passes on that first lane, put ourselves in third and then picked off the next guy. To see the progress and how far I’ve come in the past few months is awesome, a huge confidence-booster and reassurance knowing where I belong. I’m stoked on the night and thank the team and everyone that’s been supportive.”

Chase Sexton (Team Honda HRC)- As It Happened

“The first round here in Arlington was a better night for me than Daytona. Practice didn’t go that great though; I felt good on the bike all day, but wasn’t as fast as I wanted to be. In the heat race, I didn’t get a great start, but I made some good passes. In the main event, I got a good start, despite being a little too far outside from not having a great gate pick. I managed to make some really good passes early on and felt good on the bike compared to last weekend, when I first returned from injury. It’s a good race to build from. It obviously wasn’t a win, but for me it’s something really good to go off of and get better from here.”

Ken Roczen (Team Honda HRC)- As It Happened

“My Saturday started off pretty good. We felt good in qualifying practices and went into the night show with a good start. I was on the outside of [Dean] Wilson, and with the 90 degree angle, got pushed wide a bit to fourth. I made a pass into third and tried to get by Dean a couple of times. But I made a mistake trying to triple in. I didn’t make it and ended up going down, dropping back to seventh, which unfortunately gave me a bad gate pick for the main event. The rut was really messed up, so that start wasn’t good in the main at all.

Iwasn’t moving forward at all in the main, struggled to make some passes and only ended up coming in sixth. It wasn’t the result that we wanted, but we come back on Tuesday; we’ll let go of this race and come back and try again. The good thing is that this wasn’t the final round, by any means. We have a lot of racing left and plenty of time to redeem ourselves. For Tuesday, we want a bit of revenge and to try to start up front so I can ride with the front runners and see what position we can put ourselves in.”
