2024 Foxborough Supercross Recap

Annnnd...we're all tied up.

(Wait.)

OK, just double checked the results. No penalties of mass destruction.

Cooper Webb grabbed the Holeshot, fought off Chase Sexton a couple of times and ultimately prevailed for his fourth win of the season taking the checkers for Round 13 of the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross season (and his first career victory) in Foxborough, on Saturday at Gillette Stadium.

As a result, he enters the final stretch of the season tied in points with Jett Lawrence atop the 450 class leaderboard. The veteran showed grit and determination with Ken Roczen in tow for much of the race. A high-flying Sexton, working his way from fourth, almost dusted his ride losing control in the air while chasing Roczen with less than five minutes on the clock but kept his composure, landed upright and slipped into second a minute later with an eye on the lead.

But, Sexton's efforts to reel Webb in snapped at the start of the final lap when he nearly spun off his bike which gave Webb the room needed to take the victory.

"The season is never over, you have to put your head down. We'll stick to our thing but it was great," Webb said. "Chase was riding really well, I could feel him coming. To get a Holeshot, to lead very lap was huge. The track was really tricky especially when it started to rain. To get the points lead is amazing."

All the while, and just as impressive and important in the points standing, Jason Anderson and Lawrence battled for fourth in the waning minutes. Lawrence, who got a bad start and tangled with Malcom Stewart before the first turn, started in 16th, was in 6th halfway through the race and passed Tomac for fifth with nine minutes remaining. That's as far as he'd get, but lucky too, as Tomac nearly T-boned him with about 5 minutes on the clock in similar manner as Justin Barcia did two weeks ago in St. Louis. Lawrence cut down early on a turn causing Tomac to check up which not only prevented another punting of Lawrence off the bike but arguably interrupted Tomac's flow.

Anderson appeared to have enough of a lead to hold off Lawrence as the cat-and-mouse ensued during the final two laps but on the final turn Lawrence went on the inside briefly taking the lead only for Anderson, who took the outside, to full throttle up the finish line jump just in front of Lawrence to clinch fourth, thus helping Webb get the shared Red Plate.

The 250SX East class returned after a few weeks off and Haiden Deegan turned this one into a snoozer. He grabbed the Holeshot and simply checked out. No one had a chance as he easily took his second win of the season. The love him or hate him rider looked every bit the Championship contender he's claimed to be.

The best I could decipher and glean from his podium interview: "I did a lot of work with our little break, it definitely paid off. I felt super consistent, super smooth, executed my start."

Deegan moves from fourth to third in the standings as a result and sits 13 points back of Cameron Mcadoo who rode fluid and loose all night to an easy second for his fifth straight podium and fourth second-place finish of the season. Tom Vialle finished third, also his fourth straight podium and falls four points back of first-place.

Peirce Brown finished fourth for the third straight round after finishing the first three rounds in fifth. Three straight in third to close out the season? He's only 15 points out from first-place having never stepped on the podium and remains in title contention.

Three rounds remain for the West, four in the 450 class as both resume Saturday in Nashville the place where, last year, Webb's pursuit of the 2023 title ended with a season-ending concussion sustained in a Heat race.
