Jett Lawrence has delivered another stellar performance at round 10 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship in Indianapolis marked by a triumphant sweep of all three races in the 450SX Triple Crown while Cameron McAdoo walked away with the 250 class win and championship lead.
Despite Ken Roczen’s persistent challenge, Lawrence’s determination propelled him to the forefront in each race, denying Roczen the top spot. Roczen’s consistent 2-2-3 finishes earned him second place overall. Defending champion Chase Sexton, too, maintained consistency with 3-3-2 scores, securing a solid third overall for the night.
Jason Anderson’s fourth-place finish defied conventional scoring, as his 5-6-5 finishes reflected the night’s unpredictability. Cooper Webb’s 8-5-4 performance earned him fifth place.
Lawrence’s flawless clean sweep of wins not only secured him his fifth win of the season but also extended his championship lead, amassing a commanding 210 points from ten races so far. The Australian’s closest rival, Cooper Webb, struggled to match Lawrence’s pace this time around but remains second on 189 points, while Chase Sexton remains in contention with 185 points.
“It was pretty cool, and Lars [Lindstrom] told me after the race that the last person [to sweep a Triple Crown] was Kenny and it was on a Honda, too,” Lawrence said. “So it’s kind of cool to keep that ritual going with the Honda, going 1-1-1… That track was gnarly, it can kind of catch you at any moment. It was scary riding next to someone in the rhythm because you’re just – you’re trying to stay as straight as possible and it just kind of, it could catch you off guard pretty quickly… The track was gnarly but I think it creates some good racing.”
In the 250 East class, Cameron McAdoo emerged as the victor with a consistent 1-2-3 performance, solidifying his position as a contender in the championship battle.
Following closely behind was last week’s winner Tom Vialle, securing second place with a 4-3-1 scorecard, while Haiden Deegan rounded out the top three with 2-1-6 results.
McAdoo’s triumphant win in the 250SX class marked his first victory of the 2024 season and his first since the 2022 Arlington Supercross. Despite facing stiff competition, McAdoo demonstrated unwavering consistency throughout the three-race format, clinching victory in the opening race and securing second place in Race 2 behind Haiden Deegan.
In the final race, Tom Vialle stormed ahead to claim the holeshot and cruise to victory, but McAdoo’s stellar performance in the overall standings remained unscathed. With a composed 1-2-3 finish, McAdoo sealed the deal for the overall win, while Vialle settled for second overall with 4-3-1 scores. Despite a challenging start, Deegan showcased resilience, charging back to sixth place and securing third overall.
Pierce Brown, bouncing back from a tough first race, finished the night in fourth place overall, narrowly edging out Coty Schock, who remarkably only had surgery during the week for a broken collarbone.
“It’s been a while since I got a win,” McAdoo reflected. “They all feel so good… I’m just so grateful to be in this position, to be this healthy, to fight for this, and just to race my dirt bike. Like, that was what I live for, going into that third race tied on points and just that lock-in [of focus]. And like I’ve been saying all night, just focusing on being present where my feet are, and gosh, I’m just so proud of that one.”
With the competition heating up, McAdoo and Vialle are engaged in a close battle for the championship, as the points standings now stand at McAdoo leading with 98 points, followed closely by Vialle with 96 points, and Pierce Brown trailing behind with 87 points.
With a commanding 21-point lead in the championship, Lawrence’s dominance shows no signs of waning as the series heads to Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, for the next round on March 23rd.
