00:00Well, the number three of Eli Tomac is back.
00:04Now he's been here, he's done that.
00:05He's a four-time champion in pro motocross.
00:08He knows exactly how to go out and win races.
00:10The question is, here in Moto2, just like it was at Budge Creek, will his body allow
00:15him to do the things that his mind knows how to do?
00:18That is the question.
00:19It will come back eventually.
00:21The question is, is it today?
00:23Well, today might be your day.
00:26You got third at first Moto.
00:28You said it was on you.
00:29The bike was fine.
00:30Look, you're close.
00:32Close today.
00:33I know chase has been strong in his second Moto, but Hunter Lawrence, represent for the
00:37Lawrence family.
00:38Go get you one today.
00:39And today could be the day for this man.
00:41Somehow Aaron Plessinger, still not a Moto win or an overall win as a 450 pro motocross
00:47racer.
00:48A great ride, second in Moto1, and this is the track where he won his first ever race
00:53on a 250.
00:54Maybe today is the day.
00:56As we mentioned, those playoffs coming up, it's not just riders like Plessinger and Lawrence
01:00and Sexton trying to build momentum.
01:02How about these privateers spending their money to get in.
01:05Harry Kulos, the very likable rider out of Estonia, wasn't supposed to race nearly as
01:10much as he ended up doing.
01:11He's been solid every time he shows up, finished 12th, and he's been making deals, staying
01:16in people's houses.
01:17We mentioned last week that he sends his wife home with parts, and then she comes back with
01:21new parts for him to test, flies back to America for that.
01:24But living in New Jersey the last couple of weeks, got to figure out how he can get his
01:28bike to the playoffs.
01:30That is great stuff.
01:31Great stuff.
01:32You've got a lot of commitment right there.
01:35Yep.
01:36Because those guys are going to make a lot of money if they can score well in the SMX
01:41playoffs and world championship that starts in two weeks, and those playoffs are part
01:44of the reason the racing today has been so good.
01:47These guys are still motivated.
01:48They're definitely motivated.
01:49I thought you were going to say they're going to score a lot of money because the wife is
01:53happy.
01:54Yeah.
01:55Yeah.
01:56Keep it going.
01:57Yep.
01:58Last moto of the year.
01:59Can chase Sexton continue to run this thing off into the playoffs, or will it be somebody
02:03else that steps up in these second motos?
02:05Yeah.
02:06Can he ride off with the 1-1?
02:07Man, if you're a plasticer, you've been so close so many times to getting one of these
02:12moto wins.
02:13For Hunter, been so close to the overall wins.
02:16They have one more chance at it.
02:21We'll see if Sexton is still locked in after locking up the championship in moto one.
02:27One last 30-minute and two-lap battle.
02:30Here we go.
02:31And it's going to be close here.
02:45I'm not sure if they're going to give the whole shot to, oh, that is Tomek Oregon.
02:51Or Cooper that got kicked sideways.
02:53Cooper got kicked sideways.
02:54No surprise.
02:55Out front, Hunter Lawrence, Aaron Plesinger again.
02:56Plesinger to the lead.
02:57Aaron Plesinger, wise move.
02:58That was a lot of stuff.
02:59That was Justin Cooper.
03:00Good save by him.
03:01Yeah.
03:02Eli was on the outside.
03:03A little bit farther back.
03:04But Aaron, exactly where he wants to be at.
03:05Unfortunately, the number four is probably exactly where he wants to be at, too, right
03:06behind him.
03:07Yeah.
03:08He's fourth behind Cooper.
03:09There's Lawrence in the 96th fighting Cooper.
03:10It's going to be three wide.
03:26Yeah.
03:27We're racing NASCAR right here.
03:28Three wide over here.
03:29It's like a photo shoot.
03:30We had scrubs on both sides and then in the middle.
03:31It almost happened again there.
03:32Yeah.
03:33This track is starting to open up with some of these lines.
03:34You know Hunter Lawrence wants to get to the top.

12:47He's got a lot of speed.
12:48He's got a lot of speed.
12:50As for Lawrence, once again, the second moto not as good as the first.
12:54We asked him yesterday about that process and trying to get stronger.
13:00It seems like it's such a simple thing, right?
13:02We all see it's just the second moto not being as good as the first moto.
13:08They're still good, just lacking that, you know, few percent.
13:11And I think it's just, I think I'm managing it well, not riding above my ability
13:18and over my head to force, you know, the second place into a worse,
13:22you know, maybe a crash or something like that resulting in a fifth or a sixth.
13:26So I think there's two sides of the story.
13:28You can just go, hey, look, I'm not quite there yet.
13:31I'm not quite on the level of one-ones yet.
13:35And, you know, the number one guy at the moment, Chase,
13:38has put together, you know, the whole puzzle this year,
13:41and he's a really strong competitor.
13:42So I'm still working to get there my first year.
13:44I think I've done extremely well.
13:47Yeah, he's done extremely well.
13:48And actually talking to him yesterday about that,
13:50how much he's grown from A1 to now back in Supercross.
13:53And now he said it's been a head down, butt up,
13:55trust the process kind of a season.
13:57And in fact, I was actually asking him and Darren,
13:59Lawrence's dad, just about the practices
14:02and how it could change with Jet getting back on the bike.
14:05And they said, you know, yes, there's a camaraderie
14:07and a chemistry between the two.
14:08There's a lot of fun had when they're out on track.
14:10But Hunter has during the week been so focused on his own ride
14:14and his own plan and his own strategy
14:17that he hasn't necessarily missed Jet
14:19riding with him side by side.
14:21But he hopes that it elevates the game,
14:23obviously, going into SMX.
14:25Yeah, I mean, to that point, I mean,
14:27who would want to miss riding against Jet Lawrence?
14:29I don't care if he is your brother.
14:31But no, I mean, I think the one thing it will help him
14:34is like when Jet comes back,
14:35maybe some of the pressure of the team,
14:37they'll have another guy focusing on.
14:39But Hunter's been doing great all year long.
14:42And I would even say since he's been on this 25 bike,
14:44the second moto's haven't been that bad.
14:46You know, he got a bad start at Unadilla.
14:49And then last weekend,
14:50you can almost blame it on a tire choice.
14:52This is probably the one moto since he's been on this bike
14:55that's kind of been more previous to him switching over.
14:59And you just got to think it's got to be a little bit
15:01of frustrating to see these guys pull away from him.
15:05Yeah, Tomac now has about five seconds on him.
15:09Tomac, second all time in podiums in this class.
15:13And he'll add another one.
15:1571 total.
15:16I think Carmichael has the most with 84.
15:19Here's Phil Nicoletti in eighth again
15:22in his final pro moto cross start.
15:24He will race the SMX playoffs,
15:25but this is his final race season.
15:27Had him in the press conference yesterday.
15:29It's a little bit of bonus time.
15:30He thought he tore his ACL at Hanktown.
15:33So it does have some knee damage,
15:35but the ACL is intact.
15:36He's able to make it to the end of the year
15:38and right where he wants to be.
15:40Eighth is generally the spot he's shooting for,
15:42and there he is.
15:46And after Nicoletti comes Freddie Norton.
15:49Those guys battle during the week.
15:50They ride at Club MX together.
15:51They've had some great battles in the motos.
15:53Wait a minute.
15:54Look at this.
15:55Aaron Plesinger is caught.
15:57Chase Sexton.
15:58Yeah, Chase must have fell because I was just thinking
16:01he just put in those hot laps.
16:03Now, AP, let's get some.
16:06Oh, he might have him on the inside, James.
16:09Now, he's just getting over that wall.
16:11Eli Tomac going around the outside.
16:12There you go, AP.
16:14Oh, couldn't quite.
16:15He's got the championship wrapped up.
16:17A little knockdown.
16:19He'll be all right.
16:20He won't be too mad at you.
16:21Man, Sexton put two seconds in him the previous lap,
16:23but now it's back to even up.
16:26Yeah, I think Chase must have fell
16:28right after the mechanics there.
16:30It must have tipped over in the corner or something.
16:32Here it is.
16:33Going down.
16:34Everything looks good.
16:35Going to outside.
16:37Loses the front end.
16:39No, just stalls the motorcycle.
16:41Oh.
16:42Yeah, pretty easy to happen because there's braking so hard.
16:45That's a pretty tight 90 corner.
16:47So I've seen Chase do that a couple times in Supercross
16:50where he was stalling up in Seattle.
16:52But no harm, no foul.
16:54At least he didn't have to pick up the motorcycle or kick it.
16:57That's right.
16:58And that orange carrot just dangling in front of Pressinger
17:03still working on his first career moto or overall win.
17:07As a 450 racer, it's right there in front of him.
17:11Yeah, this was that moment for him.
17:13Now you start to see Chase get back away
17:15because I was just looking up.
17:16I'm like, all right, this is Chase Sexton time.
17:18Halfway second moto.
17:20It's hot outside.
17:21He had that gap.
17:24Well, that has really been the story this year,
17:26the fitness of Sexton late in the race day.
17:29Send it to Katie.
17:31Chase, in talking with him earlier today
17:33about Aaron Pressinger as a teammate,
17:35he said, he is the best teammate I have ever had.
17:38His positive attitude that he exudes,
17:40the fun that they have, the warm-ups that they get together.
17:43It's just a blast riding along with Aaron Pressinger.
17:47Yeah, I agree.
17:48I think this whole move for Chase
17:53has been great since he moved over to the KTM team.
17:55And I call it, it's the APing.
17:58Just in a great mood.
17:59I just feel like I'm APing today.
18:01I'm in a great mood.
18:02So having him as your teammate.
18:05See that out of Sexton?
18:06Yeah, KTM power at halfway.
18:08There you go.
18:09OK.
18:10Yeah, it is halfway through.
18:11Monster Energy is available now at Kroger.
18:14Back end stepped out for Sexton.
18:15It's still not over.
18:17Here comes Pressinger again.
18:19It's a chess game that JT was talking about.
18:21Outside to inside is the choice for the four.
18:25Yeah.
18:26You see how Chase was on that inside jump.
18:29He didn't roll over that single.
18:30He jumped out.
18:31It's that momentum that I keep talking about.
18:34And you can see the gap that he's able to get over AP right
18:38there.
18:39Now, at the bottom of the screen,
18:40we've been joking about the two likable vets.
18:43Kyle Edwards and Kyle Busch.
18:45Kyle Chisholm and Dean Wilson battling for the final
18:48guaranteed spot into the motos.
18:5020th in the standings.
18:51They're battling on the track right now.
18:53Chisholm 13th.
18:55Wilson 14th.
18:56The problem is Wilson needs to make up about 10 points on
19:00Chiz in this moto.
19:02So even though they're fighting hard,
19:03it won't be enough, even if he makes the pass.
19:06He's going to have to Chiz on the Chiz.
19:08He's got to pull a Chism on him.
19:10He might make it around the outside.
19:13Dino gets it.
19:15And you see that bubble battle,
19:18that nine point gap now.
19:20And that's a lot of it because Wilson did come back last week
19:23at Butts Creek,
19:24got tangled with the rider in the first term,
19:26broke his wheel,
19:27couldn't finish, didn't score any points.
19:29That might be the final difference maker of Wilson going
19:32to the last chance qualifiers at the playoffs.
19:35Chiz going straight to the motos.
19:39Yeah, he is just admiring chase here.
19:41It never seems like this outdoor season.
19:43There's been a point where he's been so in sync with his
19:46motorcycle.
19:47JT.
19:48Yeah.
19:49And you're just watching sex.
19:50And he's made a few mistakes while we've been watching him
19:52here.
19:53Had that stall.
19:54But, you know,
19:55I love to watch him.
19:56You see him standing up,
19:57entering all these corners.
19:59He has so much flow around this racetrack and he's putting the
20:01sections together without really having to get on the brakes,
20:04without really having to slow down.
20:07Too much.
20:08And it's allowing him to carry momentum.
20:10And when chase sex is firing on all cylinders,
20:12that's the type of writing you see from him.
20:14It's not disjointed.
20:15It's not a lot of stop and start.
20:17He puts the track together deliberately.
20:19And it's, it's pure magic to watch.
20:21And this is back to the form that we used to see from chase
20:24section.
20:25It's no wonder he's our champ.
20:27He looks like the chase sex in a bowl.
20:29Yeah, absolutely.
20:30And there's a couple of parts that is racetrack where chase is
20:33really killing these guys.
20:34And one of them is right here,
20:35just that little bit right there,
20:38not rolling the inside of that jump,
20:40just kind of jumping out.
20:41And he was a little farther on the inside lap before he had it
20:44right.
20:45And what it's doing,
20:46as you just mentioned JT,
20:47like he's not stopping going around the racetrack.
20:49Another part where he's really killing these guys is coming up
20:52here.
20:53Same thing.
20:54A little single on the inside chases,
20:56continuous momentum out,
20:57just jumping out.
20:59He doesn't do it as good as for me as I'm talking about it,
21:02but that's where he's making the time up.
21:04And it seems small,
21:05but what he's doing is continue that momentum.
21:08And there's no stopping go.
21:09And he just makes it all the way down the straight.
21:11That's why he's out front and pulling away from these guys.
21:14You're watching this today.
21:17You've got one more chance.
21:18Flip over,
21:19go to the Telemundo Deportes YouTube channel.
21:22And you can listen to the Spanish race call with Edgar Lopez and
21:26Tommy Rios.
21:27Or if you miss it today,
21:28you can listen to the United States.
21:30Same thing.
21:31Telemundo Deportes YouTube channel at the SMX world championship in
21:36Las Vegas.
21:38Or if you're outside the United States and you're watching on SMX
21:41video pass,
21:42you can just select to listen to the Spanish language broadcast every
21:45week.
21:46All right.
21:48The alarm is off.
21:49It was getting dicey there for a bit,
21:51but it's up to 3.2 seconds on Plesinger.
21:54He looks good.
21:56Looks like he's well in control.
21:58He knows exactly what the motorcycle.
22:00And as I was saying earlier,
22:02ever since he's been on the KTM and especially halfway through this
22:05outdoor season,
22:06it seems like they figured out the bike to where it almost looks like
22:09it's lower to the center.
22:11It's really center.
22:12It's close to the ground.
22:13He's got a lot of feel on both ends.
22:15And chase is really putting that bike exactly wherever he wants and has
22:19a lot more control over it.
22:22Almost like in a sense,
22:23if he's riding a mini bike and that's the way he's riding,
22:26he could put it where he wants.
22:27It seems light.
22:28And then they have found a package for this guy.
22:31And it shows even with the number seven right behind him.
22:34The only thing they have not nailed here.
22:36Whole shots.
22:37We'll give you the motorsport.com.
22:38Whole shot replay.
22:39Hunter.
22:40Thanks.
22:41Great.
22:42All year.
22:43And I think he's going to get another one here.
22:45On a large.
22:46I mean,
22:47he's got to get on the gate and just feels like he's going to hold
22:49shot.
22:50Just like chase feels like second moto.
22:51He's going to win 96.
22:53They got it dialed in.
22:54And a lot of this comes down to his mental,
22:57but I think it's my Cooper.
22:59Yeah.
23:00Look at that.
23:01Don't forget about Mr.
23:02Cooper.
23:03Watch his driver on the outside.
23:04Nicely done.
23:05Yeah.
23:06And that's what we're used to seeing with Justin Cooper,
23:08especially on the two 50 class.
23:10Yeah.
23:11How's it not been quite as much of that with Cooper in the four
23:14fifties,
23:15a solid season for him.
23:16And he was third in points for a while.
23:18But Plesinger's flurry here at the end,
23:20he's going to take third in the championship.
23:22If it ends this way,
23:23I asked Plesinger if there's bonus money in the line for that.
23:26He's like,
23:27well,
23:28I don't know about that,
23:29but it's a nice resume bullet.
23:30The next time your contracts are up,
23:31let's say you once got third in a four 50 championship.
23:34Plesinger's already locked in for at least one more year with KTM
23:37next season.
23:38Yeah.
23:39There's a lot of bonus.
23:40And the biggest bonus might be just the pride getting up there and
23:43winning these guys.
23:45But yeah,
23:46I'm almost getting caught.
23:47Stuck in a rut.
23:49Watching chase,
23:50just kind of admiring him.
23:51I think this is the best I think I've ever seen the guy ride in this
23:54photo right here.
23:55Yeah.
23:56Yeah.
23:57I've seen some great rides this season.
23:58Yeah.
23:59And I'm not saying it's the fastest I've ever seen him ride.
24:01It's just the most like,
24:02he just knows exactly where that bike's going.
24:04And as I mentioned,
24:05it looks like he's riding a mini bike knows exactly where it's at.
24:08JT.
24:09He just has so much flow.
24:10You see him kind of going inside to outside,
24:12putting the bike wherever he wants,
24:14just like you mentioned.
24:15And I don't know if it's just a racetrack.
24:16Certainly he's familiar here,
24:17but it's,
24:18I think part of it is confidence.
24:20Part of it is they've gotten the bike sorted out,
24:22but this is him at his best.
24:24Right.
24:25And it's so important for him to carry this momentum and to be his
24:28best self entering the S and X playoffs.
24:30So who knows?
24:31Right.
24:32We start over.
24:33It's a brand new championship,
24:34a three round championship,
24:35but boy,
24:36does he look good here?
24:37Leaving the pro motocross championship.
24:38Yeah.
24:39A hundred percent.
24:40I mean,
24:41ever since chase came to this track,
24:43the first year,
24:442020 or 21,
24:45like he's always had a pretty good flow,
24:47but yeah,
24:48I just noticed he's got a lot more lean on this bike.
24:51And that's when,
24:52you know,
24:53he's doing good.
24:54And even this guy,
24:55he lost the toe with,
24:56you know,
24:57the two in front of him,
24:58but Aaron Plesinger and chase.
24:59Excellent.
25:00They're riding good.
25:01I mean,
25:02I think this is the best I've seen Aaron ride all day.
25:04I don't know if the KTM just works well on this racetrack,
25:06but Eli's doing really good.
25:08I think it's a huge improvement from last weekend.
25:10He looks like Eli Tomac and a guy who hasn't raced,
25:13raced outdoors for a couple of years.
25:15I mean,
25:16to come back into your second race and be on the podium,
25:18you'd be all happy.
25:20Just unfortunate for him.
25:21I know he wants more.
25:22Kid's doing good.
25:23Yep.
25:24He'll have his chance.
25:25Playoffs looming.
25:26Did not get to see Eli in those last year.
25:28He was out with injury.
25:30It'd be really fun to see him in the mix this time,
25:32building off the base.
25:34He's built with these four final pro motocross motos.
25:39And same thing for his teammate.
25:41He'll be coming through next.
25:43Yeah.
25:44You see how much time Eli's losing right there.
25:46There it is.
25:49Wood section has been tough on the number three.
25:54Okay.
25:55So that's Tomac in third.
25:57You can check in on Cooper.
25:58That's a huge gap.
26:00Almost 20 seconds back to Cooper in fourth.
26:04Let's go to Katie with more on the 32.
26:07Justin Cooper saying that now he's feeling comfortable with the bike.
26:10He wasn't always comfortable with that bike here mid-season.
26:13He now knows the competitors as well.
26:16He does feel like he's been a little lonely,
26:18but now having Eli back, having Cooper Webb back,
26:20he feels like he's back in the groove with the team.
26:23In fact, looking at his pit board right now, it says two sprints.
26:26So the mindset right now for Justin Cooper is get through this, two sprints,
26:30got to get on that podium.
26:32I asked Cooper yesterday, Katie, to take stock of his rookie 450 season.
26:38Yeah, it was a tough one.
26:40That one definitely hurt and just took the wind out of my sails basically.
26:45Yeah, it was a tough situation, kind of a racing incident,
26:48but I didn't really see it coming.
26:50So I was kind of just focused on racing forward
26:53and didn't really expect that type of crash to happen.
26:58So obviously a little bit bummed about it.
27:00And, yeah, we're just going to move on from it and come into this weekend
27:04and try to give it our all for the last round.
27:07Oh, he talked about that crash last week
27:09when he got into the back of Hunter Lawrence.
27:11Yeah.
27:12I mean, there's moments of any championship and races that you're like,
27:15whew, I got lucky, and Justin's riding great.
27:18As I mentioned, Jet Lawrence, I'm sure you're home at watching it.
27:22Thanks for ruining it for all these rookies out here.
27:24You got big shoes to fill, but just like your brother and Justin,
27:29they're riding great, man. Great year.
27:32Yeah, by any other standard, solid 450 debuts for Hunter and for Justin.
27:38Hunter, last couple laps have not been kind to him.
27:41He just ran a 2.25 lap time.
27:45Sexton's running 2.13s right now.
27:48So not sure what has happened down the stretch for the 96.
27:52Cooper got him, and Anderson could be next.
27:55Yeah, Jason's closing in quite a bit,
27:57and I noticed over the first couple laps,
28:00when he jumped that tabletop, he took his arms off
28:03and wasn't adjusting the clutches, spreading his fingers out,
28:07which tells me he might have been dealing with a little bit of arm pump
28:09or just tightness, and that's kind of what it looks like right here
28:12because he's definitely laboring a little bit,
28:14and I know Hunter, you know, is really strong.
28:17It is hot. It is at the end of the championship,
28:20but you can tell he's struggling right now.
28:25Battle we're watching right now is Kulas with Chis,
28:29so that's one more point to the good for Wilson.
28:32Wilson's going to need Chis to drift out of the points-paying positions,
28:36and that might just barely be enough.
28:38Oh, he'd actually be one point short if that were to happen.
28:41That is unbelievable.
28:42Kulas started this moto in 30th.
28:45That's what this dude does up to 15th right now.
28:49Harry.
28:51Impressive.
28:52Yeah, fighting along, and, yeah, Chis probably knows in the back of his head
28:56he does some good calculations just like these guys in overalls.
29:01Like he knows what he needs to finish.
29:06This is the SMX World Championship final round of pro moto across.
29:10Harry Kulas, one of the many riders,
29:12putting together a schedule to make as many races as possible
29:15to qualify for the SMX Playoffs that are coming up.
29:18Very friendly veteran out of Estonia,
29:22and actually sold his bikes,
29:24gave it back to the dealer that helped him.
29:27Go back to Hangtown.
29:28That race was the Michaels-Reno Powersports Hangtown Classic round two.
29:32They gave him a bike,
29:34rode it as much as he could,
29:35gave it back after Washougal,
29:37got a new bike from them,
29:38put it together at Unadilla,
29:40and he's riding that bike today.
29:42That's the cool thing about motocross.
29:43You take them off the showroom floor,
29:44and you can compete at a high level, J.T.
29:47You get to know these privateers,
29:48and we asked,
29:49Harry, how do you actually pronounce your name?
29:51We've heard it so many different ways,
29:52and he said, well, it kind of depends.
29:54Where are you from?
29:55Because one of his parents is from Finland,
29:57and the other is from Estonia.
29:59He claims dual citizenship,
30:01but both of them pronounce his name differently.
30:03So I just threw up my arms and gave up at that point.
30:06If his parents can't agree on how to pronounce his name,
30:09how am I ever supposed to know?
30:11Glad we finally have an excuse when we get this done incorrectly.
30:16Harry Kulas, or whoever you say it,
30:18riding well right now from 30th
30:21up into the top 15.
30:34Promoto cross finale in Indiana.
30:36There is Harry Kulas in the top 15,
30:39got around Kyle Chisholm in 16th,
30:41Derek Kelly, 17th,
30:42Devin Simonson is in 18th.
30:46It's his sixth career start.
30:48He didn't even qualify for the motos last week
30:52on the Club MX 450 at Butts Creek,
30:55so much better now.
30:56Simonson is in a point-paying position in 18th,
30:59and he is from Indiana,
31:01so good for Devin.
31:03Cullen Park is 19th.
31:05Preston Kilroy rounds out the top 20.
31:08Henry Miller is 21st.
31:12Sexton continues to lead,
31:14and now it's up to 11 seconds over Plessinger.
31:17Yeah, you got to believe.
31:19And now that's at a stall, too, so...
31:22Yep, good ride.
31:24Man, just a way to have him fun
31:26as we're watching Harry do his thing
31:29and Chase do his.
31:32Track actually looks really fun, actually, right now.
31:35Well, you kept saying earlier in the day
31:37this is one of the few tracks on the circuit you have not ridden,
31:39so I think everybody is going to have the same thought after that.
31:42Get out here, bro.
31:44That's why I'm probably saying it looks fun.
31:46No bad memories.
31:47No bad memories.
31:48I'm like...
31:50I hear I'm Chance Hymus in Unadillo.
31:52What are y'all talking about?
31:53Track's awesome.
31:54Yep.
31:55Yeah, sometimes not knowing is the best way to know,
31:58and, yeah, it looks easy in the booth, right?
32:01I'm like, it ain't that hot.
32:03It's about 65 degrees out here.
32:05Yeah, feels that way in here.
32:07So Kulov's going to finish the season strong.
32:09He's going into the playoffs.
32:11Be fun to watch the battle.
32:13The Chisholm in.
32:15Welton.
32:16Nicoletti.
32:18Those guys are going to be fighting.
32:20I call it the Colt Nichols.
32:22Colt Nichols got, I believe, ninth last year in SMX points
32:25and made about $100,000.
32:27That's the type of positioning these riders are hoping for,
32:30but it's going to get harder.
32:31Yeah.
32:32Webb will be back.
32:33Jet Lawrence will be back.
32:35Down the line we go.
32:36Here's another one of these likable vets.
32:39Yeah, I mean, Roman Pate.
32:41You think about the story we were talking about with Harry
32:43and, you know, different bikes, you know,
32:46suspension, a wide-framing suspension,
32:48going back and forth.
32:49And, I mean, for all these guys, really,
32:52imagine what some of this money from the playoffs can do
32:54for Harry and a lot of all these guys,
32:57Romans and all these guys.
32:59Yep.
33:00And he, this rider here, he's on the privateer journey team.
33:02That's a long-running team operated by Teddy Parks,
33:05which is like, you look up Texas in the dictionary,
33:07you see a picture of him.
33:08He's as Texas as Texas gets.
33:10Old Teddy Parks, his privateer journey program,
33:13he hauls bikes to the races.
33:15Essentially, it's a lot less money to have everyone do it
33:18as a unit than for each rider to do it individually.
33:22And Teddy's been helping riders get their bikes to the track
33:24and race for years, but he is going to end that program
33:27this year.
33:28He wants to retire and hang out with the grandkids.
33:31Well done, Teddy.
33:32Helped a lot of riders.
33:34Literally hundreds of them through the years.
33:36And that's who Pate there on the 68 rides for.
33:39Kulas is going to make the move.
33:42But although Teddy's supposed to be done,
33:45since he's from Texas, he's still going to help Kulas
33:48get his bike to Texas.
33:50Oh, that's cool.
33:51There's heroes all out here, whether in motorcycle gear
33:54or all around.
33:56We really, the sport really is a family.
33:58Cool to see.
34:00Kulas just made a move on Pate.
34:02Everybody pitching in.
34:04And that's a really cool deal there for all these riders.
34:07Pate out of France, by the way.
34:09And there you see Wilson has cut the gap down to six points
34:12on Chisholm.
34:13That final battle to be guaranteed into the motos.
34:18Chisholm has to hold on.
34:20Wilson would have to get McElrath.
34:23And then hope Chisholm doesn't make it,
34:25or Chisholm drifts out of the top 21 in this moto.
34:29He'll be going to the LCQ otherwise.
34:32Yeah, it's going to be a tall hope.
34:35And as you mentioned, last week at Bloods Creek,
34:38really got to Dean, that is.
34:41Yep, had some bad luck there.
34:43Dean riding with litany of knee injuries through the years.
34:47It hurts to go to these 30 plus two motos.
34:50But he wanted to make his way into the playoffs,
34:52so he still showed up for a bunch.
34:54Looks like Anderson has passed Hunter Lawrence.
34:56This is a rough second half of the final moto for Hunter.
35:00Anderson, fifth now.
35:02Cooper, fourth.
35:03Tomac, third.
35:04And that will be third overall for Tomac.
35:07Plessinger, second.
35:10A couple of one-twos for the KTM squad lately.
35:14Yeah, and then winning that 250 class.
35:16Went one-one today, so obviously it's working good.
35:19But yeah, just thinking about Hunter and just his ride,
35:22I think this is what Daz was talking about,
35:24just keeping him focused, the championship being out of sight.
35:27And now having a race like this,
35:30this is one of those ones that you don't have anything to fight for.
35:33You're bummed that you lost a toe.
35:35Maybe you're not feeling good.
35:36So, you know, tough one.
35:38But Hunter's had a great year.
35:39He's going to finish second in his championship.
35:41And, you know, I know he's going to get a win next year
35:45or possibly in this playoffs.
35:46He's not done for sure.
35:48So what will it look like when the playoffs begin?
35:50It's going to be different than this.
35:52Those tracks are hybrids.
35:53There is a motocross section.
35:55For example, when you watch as the white flag comes out,
35:58the playoff opener at Charlotte,
36:01there's a motocross section.
36:02The people that built this track, Jeff Russell, Randy Poulter,
36:05they'll be there to build the outdoor section at Charlotte.
36:07But even Sexton himself,
36:10even though he rode well and won at Charlotte last year,
36:12he admits he's not sure what they're going to do for the playoffs.
36:16It's really that thin line between
36:18do you want the ultra-stiff supercross suspension for the jumps?
36:21You kind of have to have it.
36:23But how do you get through the smaller bumps?
36:26And that's what everybody's really going to be guessing.
36:29It's going to be different than what we have right now.
36:31Yeah, that's the cool part.
36:33It's a huge challenge for these guys.
36:35But I think they'll be a lot more prepared this year than they were last year.
36:38And, I mean, everybody's coming into it completely different
36:41than where they were last year.
36:43You know, Aaron's going to end this thing on a good feeling,
36:46obviously with Chase wrapping his championship,
36:48feeling like he can beat anyone.
36:50And Jet Lawrence coming back from injury.
36:52Eli coming in.
36:53So it's going to be different for a lot of these guys.
36:55But I'm excited to see it.
36:58Just going to see if it's a continuation of these motocross series
37:01or different feel, different results.
37:04Well, with that thought, we were wondering, as J.T. said,
37:08are you going to get the best of Sexton in this moto?
37:10Now that he's wrapped the title, maybe not.
37:12But for him, is it a little bit larger goal
37:14to just keep that gas pedal down?
37:16Well, I mentioned, I've been saying this all year,
37:19when Chase figured out how to go fast, he was just going to always be fast.
37:22And I don't think Chase, the way he's riding,
37:24it's coming too easy for him to not do this.
37:27I don't think he's doing anything besides going out there and riding.
37:31He is comfortable. The KTM has figured it out.
37:33So for Chase, this is who he is now.
37:37Like, this is going to be that guy.
37:39And if somebody's faster than him that week,
37:41they're just going to be faster.
37:43Well-deserved champion.
37:45No doubt about it.
37:46He's working on his 13th career overall win.
37:49That'll move him to 18th all time.
37:57Oh, this is something cool.
37:58James just jumped out of the booth.
38:00He's going to cheer Chase Sexton on.
38:02You're going to see this right now.
38:04Little James going to do his big James impression like his dad.
38:09Watch closely on the right side.
38:12That's James right there!
38:14I got to carry this home myself.
38:17Chase Sexton!
38:181-1 at Ironman!
38:20And the crowning moment on a 450 motocross title.
38:25And he throws the ghost ride!
38:27Well, that looked familiar.
38:29Saw that last year from Jet Lawrence.
38:32James has still got some fitness jumping in and out of here.
38:35You're back!
38:36Hey, a round like that, a championship like that,
38:38that man deserves respect.
38:39Had to go out there and give it to him.
38:42Did you miss the ghost ride or did you see the ghost ride?
38:45I missed the ghost ride on there.
38:48It's unprecedented.
38:49That's the first time we've ever had one of the broadcasters
38:52jump out of the booth, out on the track, and back into the booth.
38:56And it's time to celebrate.
38:58Kyle, the mechanic who got, as we said, called off the bench.
39:02I think he's working in-house at KTM, not on the road.
39:05And it became Sexton's mechanic late in supercross.
39:08Here's the ghost ride.
39:09Ghost ride, the whip!
39:12Man, I bet that feels good.
39:14Now it's sinking in.
39:15I mean, he's probably had the last five laps of this race
39:18thinking about it and what you call in-the-zone people.
39:23Analyze the guy on the right here.
39:25What are you going to see?
39:26Some nice chocolate man out there looking pretty good.
39:29No, I just had to go out there and chase Sexton,
39:31give him props out there.
39:34I was hoping that he wouldn't mess up and fall down in front of me, but...
39:38Man, great ride.
39:41Respect right there, baby. Respect.
39:48Teammates.
39:49That's so cool.
39:52That is really cool.
39:55Plessiger tried hard.
39:57Wanted that win so bad.
39:58That's Plessiger's wife there cooling him off with the water.
40:02We're going to talk to all these guys.
40:04Don't forget Eli Tomac on the podium today.
40:08Big part of his comeback.
40:09But the story begins and ends with Chase Sexton, the champion.
