250 Class
Austin Forkner got the holeshot in the main event, but Justin Cooper quickly passed him for the lead, but Forkner regained the lead about five turns later. Forkner held a comfortable lead for the first half of the race but was unable to pull away from Cooper. With about four minutes remaining, Forkner made a mistake and hit a tough block. He didn’t crash, but the stoppage was enough to allow Cooper and Dylan Ferrandis by. As Forkner tried to get back on the track, he cut off a corner before joining the crowd.
Cooper went on for his first Supercross win. Forkner finished in third place but ended up being penalized two positions for cutting the course, ceding third place to Christian Craig.
450 Class
Vince Friese got the holeshot before getting passed by Justin Barcia about halfway through the first lap. Friese also got passed early on by Justin Brayton and Adam Cianciarulo and faded back into the pack.
About eight minutes into the race Barcia made a mistake and got passed by Cianciarulo. Seven minutes later Cianciarulo returned the favor by missing a jump and letting Barcia back into the lead. Barcia didn’t pull away but was never challenged again.
Eli Tomac had a bad start and was never a factor in the main event. Ken Roczen spent some time dicing with the top five riders early on but faded late in the race.
Chad Reed and Aaron Plessinger involved in first turn pileup in the first heat.
Zach Osborne crashed in the second heat and needed to go through the LCQ.
