250 East Vs West showdown this weekend should be awesome to see the whole field line up.

 
Well, we have a battle now!

:oto:

I can't believe it, that I am actually root'n for Webb!

WTF with Tomac start in the main??? Ha had the fastest time of the Heat races, rocketed out of that start then in the main I guess he hand Jett both got pinched, UGH!

I know he's out of it, but dang he looked so good and he was 10 seconds faster over 2nd place in his heat.   :simrak:

That triple triple was no joke I think only Jett and Eli were doing it.

Let's go to the 250's...here are the cliff notes to that...

Dude bro...so sikk, bro dude then like bro dude it was ya know like so like sikk and stuff bro dude!

Dude!

:bag:

If I closed my eyes during Deegan's interview I would have thought Spicolli slipped onto the podium. 

 
RV2 tried it too. He was already mentally done when he went over there. Hopefully ET3 isn't mentally done. Peace

All Tied Up       


After giving up points to a relentless Cooper Webb three rounds in a row, Jett Lawrence, who once led this championship by 21 points, is now tied for the lead with Webb with just four rounds to go. Lawrence’s speed and skill are unquestionable, but so is the stubborn, fiery, determination of Webb—once he sinks his teeth into something, good luck trying to get him to let go. Who will hold the red plate after Nashville? -Hansel


In the Shadows


The situation at the top of the 450SX standings is crazy, and is, rightfully, getting the majority of the attention. However, don’t sleep on Chase Sexton, who is only 15 points back of Lawrence and Webb. Sexton, who was dealing with a hand injury earlier this season, seems to be much stronger now than he’s been all season, and it showed in Foxborough when he went after Webb at the end of the race. Depending on how things play out in Nashville, it wouldn’t take much to turn this championship into a three-rider melee. -Hansel

Surprisingly Not Surprising


Justin Hill had the best night of his season in Foxborough, and by a long way. He was fifth in the early stages of the races before finishing ninth. Before last Saturday, his best finish was a 14th at the season opener. He also missed three races after getting landed on in Daytona and scored 17th when he came back at St. Louis. How all of this somehow adds up to his best result of the season is a mystery, but then again, so are most things with Justin Hill. He could nab a top five, or finish outside the top-15 in Nashville, and neither would be a surprise. Which Hill will we get this weekend? -Hansel


The Showdown


East meets West this weekend in the East/West Showdown, that combines both 250SX regions in one night of racing. Not only will it be fun to watch the best of both regions finally race each other, it’ll also be interesting to see what kind of points shakeups might take place. More talent on the gate means more guys have the potential to get in front of points leaders Cameron McAdoo and Levi Kitchen. It could also go in the complete opposite direction! How will the cards fall this Saturday night? -Hansel



Haiden Deegan really brought the heat in Foxborough, where he led every single of the main event to take his second career 250SX win. He still faces a 13-point deficit to McAdoo, but the win was a step in the right direction in clawing his way back into championship contention. And, with the volatile nature of the showdowns, the potential to make some big gains is there. How will Deegan’s championship picture look following Nashville?




Staying in It


Just four points separate Tom Vialle and McAdoo. That’s not much, but with the end of the season approaching, every point, and the opportunities to earn them, seem to take on additional value. So even though Vialle is still very much in it, this weekend has the potential to be a pivotal moment in his season. If he falters, and McAdoo wins, it could be extremely difficult to recover with just two more races left after Nashville. If he wins, it’ll put him in a much better position to compete for the title. -Hansel


Your Move, RJ


If there was ever a time for RJ Hampshire to make something happen, this is it. With just three 250SX West Region races remaining, he trails a surging Levi Kitchen by 15 points. And, with Kitchen standing head and shoulders above the rest of the 250SX West Region lately, Hampshire’s best bet at making up a meaningful number of points lies in the showdown this weekend in Nashville. If he can get a win, or somehow take at least seven or eight points out of Kitchen’s lead, his championship hopes will look a whole lot healthier going into the final two. -Hansel

Placing Bets




We have seen it time and time again, sometimes when it comes to the East/West Showdowns, it is not always the championship contenders that run away with the win. Think of Max Anstie in East Rutherford 2023 or Nate Thrasher in Salt Lake 2022. When you put all the best 250 riders on the track together anything can happen. And sometimes the title contenders have to play it safe, or they risk losing even more points. Will we see a surprise winner this weekend? -Sarah Whitmore


Doing The Splits


Interesting starting gate this weekend, the two sides are separated just enough to fit a single jump in between. As with any split gate it is even more important to get a good gate pick and be on an inside gate. -Whitmore

Hello, Goodbye


Dean Wilson was devastated earlier this season when he broke his scapula in what is his 15th and final season racing pro. He didn’t want to go out like that though and is looking to return in Nashville to bid his fans farewell. Keep an eye on the #15 both on and off the track this weekend. -Whitmore

 
Jett is pretty dang good. Tomac done good last night. Peace
