Hunter Lawrence snatched the red plate from Eli Tomac last week in Glendale. This race will be pivotal.

In-Race Notes

Hunter Lawrence got a bad start to land outside the top five in the first lap.

Cooper Webb earned the holeshot as Eli Tomac overcame his Glendale mistake and settled into second.

On Lap 3, Lawrence stumbled and nearly crashed. He fell to seventh when Justin Cooper passed him.

Ken Roczen was third on Lap 4. He is part of the three-rider battle for the championship lead.

Tomac found his rhythm, but Webb is one of the best racers at finding new, better lines during a feature.
