Jett Lawrence Earns His First Win of the Season at A2! | Honda HRC Progressive
Honda HRC Progressive returned to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, this weekend for the third round of AMA Supercross, where Jett Lawrence claimed his first 450SX main-event win of the season, while Hunter Lawrence put in a solid ride to secure fifth. Jo Shimoda continued to demonstrate resilience, battling through injury for a respectable sixth-place finish in the 250SX West main event.
Hunter and Jett Lawrence both got off to excellent starts in the 450SX main, slotting into second and third, respectively, after the first turn. Both riders dropped positions early on, but Jett was in control of second by around the one-third mark, with Hunter sixth. Jett dogged the leading Jason Anderson until about two-thirds of race distance, when he drag-raced him through the whoops, setting up a block pass in the following turn. Once by, Jett quickly established a small cushion, eventually winning by two-and-a-half seconds. Meanwhile, Hunter maintained a steady pace despite challenging competition, finishing in fifth.
In the rain-affected 250SX main event, Jo Shimoda continued to showcase his determination, riding through the pain of his injured hand. After starting in eighth, the Japanese rider lost a couple of spots and then executed a pair of clean passes to finish sixth, earning valuable points and maintaining his consistency in the championship fight. SLR Honda’s Parker Ross had a solid performance, riding in the top 10 for much of the race before finishing 12th—the best result of his career.
