Podium Finishes for Sexton, Lawrence at Anaheim 2 AMA Supercross

This was the fourth-straight 250SX West podium finish for Hunter Lawrence.

Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton backed up last week’s career-first 450SX class win with a podium finish during the 2022 AMA Supercross season’s second visit to Anaheim, California, on Saturday night for round 4, while teammate Hunter Lawrence earned his fourth podium result of the year in the 250SX West Region. Ken Roczen led the premier-class main event after securing the holeshot but finished 13th following a collision.

Team Honda HRC was strong early on, with Sexton and Roczen finishing 1-2 in 450SX heat 2. When the main-event gate dropped, the German nailed the holeshot and led the field for four laps, after which Jason Anderson made an aggressive pass in the sand section, sending Roczen off the track and to the ground. The 22-year-old Sexton wasn’t far behind and trailed Anderson and eventual winner Eli Tomac to an eventual third-place finish in the 20-minute-plus-one-lap race. Meanwhile, Roczen remounted and salvaged a 13th-place result.

Team Honda HRC’s Hunter Lawrence sat in sixth one lap into the 15-minute-plus-one-lap 250SX main event, and he advanced to fourth by lap three. After a frightening crash by fellow Red Rider Vince Friese, Lawrence took over third, and he remained there to finish.
