The 2023 Monster Energy Supercross season has created a rollercoaster of emotions for loyal Supercross fans. Of course, there have been lots of injuries throughout the season, but the main title contenders, Eli Tomac, Cooper Webb, and Chase Sexton, stayed healthy and continued to fight for wins. These three guys were only separated by five points coming into the Daytona Supercross, which showed just how close the Championship really was. At Round 15 of the season, Cooper Webb went down in the Heat race and his head was run over by Adam Cianciarulo, causing a concussion and putting him out of the series. Then, at Round 16, Eli Tomac slightly overshot a jump in a rhythm lane, hyper-extended his ankle, and ruptured his Achilles Tendon. Just like that, Chase Sexton went from third to first in the Championship after his rivals went out with injury, and now he’s the 450SX Champion.
The only way for Chase Sexton to lose the title now is if Eli Tomac miraculously heals from his ankle injury overnight and lines up to race in Salt Lake City. Eli would have to win and Chase would have to finish fourth or worse, for Eli to get the title. However, Eli and his team have already confirmed that he won’t be lining up.
