Arlington Supercross is up next and it’s the seventh Round of the Monster Energy Supercross season and it’s the second time the series visits Texas. It’s been a whirlwind of a year for the team truck drivers (and privateers who drive to the races). The schedule was already wonky, to begin with, but the rescheduled Oakland Supercross added a few thousand miles of driving on a weekend that was originally scheduled to be off. The series went from Anaheim 2, to Houston, to Tampa, back to Oakland, and now back to Texas this weekend to race in Arlington (AKA Dallas). Then, the series heads back to Flordia next weekend for Daytona. Talk about zig-zagging across the country…
The Arlington SX is also set to be the second of three Triple Crown races this season. Chase Sexton won at the Anaheim 2 Triple Crown, and he’s crashed while leading the last two races (Tampa and Oakland), so he’s looking forward to the format with three 12-minute Main Events, rather than one long 20-minute Main.
This weekend’s race is also the return of the 250SX East division, after a brief, one-week break. Hunter Lawrence, Jordon Smith, Haiden Deegan, Michael Mosiman, Jeremy Martin, Nate Thrasher, and the rest of the 250 East class are ready for their third Supercross of the season, and their first one without a sand section.
The Arlington Supercross will also host the second Supercross Futures race. With Haiden Deegan and Talon Hawkins already having advanced to the Pro ranks after the Future’s race at Anaheim 2, the focus will be on A2 winner, Daxton Bennick, runner-up Casey Cochran, and up-and-coming rider, Julien Beaumer.
