00:00Philly Sexton and Cooper
00:05Chase got to the corner first Cooper exits first
00:11It was a game of chicken James going into that first corner between Sexton and Justin Cooper
00:18Yeah just like we saw in that first heat race Cooper got there first Chase got there first
00:23but ran a little wide Justin Cooper snuck on the inside and there you go
00:27this is where Justin Cooper has been very good all year long once you allow him out front
00:31this kid's no time to ride a motorcycle and on the track that's so tricky like here
00:35able to jump through the whoops already let's see if he can get this triple
00:38able to get him but Chase was able to get him
00:41Yeah Chase was able to do that
00:43Justin just mistimed the triple out of the whoops
00:47those last three got off sequence and he wasn't able to triple
00:51but look at pulls out another few bike lengths through that rhythm lane
00:55well a really nice start from the 51 the rockstar energy gas gas of Justin Barsha
01:00Justin's coming off one of his best results of the season last weekend in Massachusetts with a fifth place in the mud in Foxborough
01:08so he's got some mojo going he's got some confidence here
01:12yeah Justin's been riding good the last few weekends and these guys train together they ride down at the Baker's factory
01:19every day alongside Aaron Pleasantry who won that first he racing my brother so they're pretty comfortable with each other but at the same time
01:26you never know with Justin Barsha he's he's here to win the race and compete
01:30nice run through the woods with Kenny
01:35qualifying was not fantastic for Ken Rockson today he was 15th and that's the worst he has ever qualified in his career
01:49I mean he is he's banged up the shoulder is hanging on by a thread his ankle is injured as well he injured it
01:56pretty much around the same time he aggravated it in the mud last weekend in Foxborough but he is not going to give up
02:05yeah you can see him Ken and especially these kind of conditions where you really got to be holding on to the motorcycle with you know your arms and even with your legs so if you're kind of injured I can see how this race just like the last few of it would be hard for Kenny but I do believe with him a start kind of helps him out a lot if he's able to get that clean air
02:25nice run nice run on the inside of Mitchell Oldenburg made a mistake the Wolves pass and just rebound able to get him that was nice
02:34yeah Oldenburg just got hung up a little bit and Kenny was able to continue that momentum got a really good run into the Wolves make the pass and again triple into that corner that is going to be very very crucial and important to be able to do that
02:48he's going to be able to gain a lot of time by doing so yeah Roxanne is now chasing after Benny Bloss and you may have seen the news in recent days that Benny has had his contract with the liquid Molly beta team extended I was talking with
03:03Carl and Gardner the team manager earlier today and just said look everybody I'd ask everybody to remember that this brand is new we're still young in the sport of Supercross and he said we're making good strides all the time and he said best thing about our team is the positivity
03:20and we got a really good vibe going on between Benny Bloss and Mitchell Oldenburg and everybody on the squad and the results are coming they both qualified really well
03:28and here's Benny running in fourth place yeah no Benny's been around good and I love I love that for him because it just shows that the team's invested in him you know not listening to the outside noise of course every team that wants to come in here they want to win and people put that pressure on them but just shows that the team really has a belief in Benny and their progress that's making so great job by the team and extending him for another year sure to be around for a while
03:54yeah some would call it a chance going over there but like you and Lee have talked about this race team has done a fabulous job and I love the loyalty by re-signing Benny Bloss and giving him another opportunity to extend
04:08is uh is is so comforting and it's definitely got to make Benny feel feel good inside
04:14here's race leader Justin Cooper aboard the Monster Energy Star Yamaha comfortably ahead of Chase Sexton
04:21boy this track James is just really chewed up a lot of ruts coming out of the corners and then 180 bull turns it is going to be very challenging like it is every single weekend but because of how these conditions are I think it's going to be
04:37a bit more challenging maybe than normal JT
04:41yeah Ricky and you guys were talking about Benny Bloss re-signing I have a feeling that Justin Cooper is going to end up re-signing at Star that's the word on the street anyway
04:48and you think about the improvements that Justin Cooper has made this season you know he ran up front at A2
04:54makes mistakes here but the strides he has made throughout this season he looks so much more comfortable
05:00running at the front than he did earlier this season and that is what you want to see
05:04the growth the improvement and the maturity is all shining through for the 32
05:08James sometimes I feel like this 450 machine and how powerful it is and you know how you have to ride the bike with respect
05:16and sometimes they can be too fast I feel like Justin Cooper and how he is very patient with the throttle
05:22and kind of just takes what the bikes give him helps him in situations like these conditions
05:27yeah no I agree with you and I think it really comes down to it because they know how to ride and ride a motorcycle especially Justin Cooper
05:33but as JT was mentioned and just improving all year I think right now it's just a belief he belongs up here Lee
05:39hey Ricky you mentioned at the top of the show that the last five races oh no look at that
05:45Justin Cooper gets jammed behind Hunter Schlosser
05:51and Chase Sexton was in the right place at the right time just to say thank you and go right around the outside
05:58into the lead yeah that was a nice move and Chase just doesn't follow him I don't know if he went to this outside
06:06at any point of his race but he decided to go here and yeah nothing Justin could do
06:11yeah Lapper in front of him went made a mistake and then he was stuck behind him stuck in a rut pretty basically
06:18nice move
06:26Ricky I was about to say you were mentioning at the top of the show the last five races of a season
06:30yeah is when Chase Sexton does his best work and right on cue he goes to the lead yeah and it's no surprise
06:36he got off to a slow start there but then slowly started inching back up to Justin Cooper and I like what
06:43I've seen I was watching him closely earlier today in time qualifying practice he looked comfortable
06:48on his motorcycle and he knows five races to go statistic wise this is when he does his best work
06:55he's had some of his most wins come in the last five races and it's go time you gotta eat into that 15
07:02point advantage and a hate win puts Chase Sexton in the
