450 MAIN
Fans were treated to one of the best 450 main events of the year as four heavy hitters all spent their time at the front of the field. Cooper Webb grabbed the holeshot but Ken Roczen quickly took over the early lead. Roczen held first for the half of the race but struggled once they hit lapped traffic. Once passed, he faded back to fourth.
Chase Sexton launched his way to the lead after passing both Roczen and Webb in successive sections. He led for the next few laps but was stalked by Webb in the closing stages of the race. Both riders made mistakes with two laps to go but Webb rebounded quicker and launched passed Sexton for the lead.
The two dogged it out for the final two laps with Webb holding the top spot by just under a second. Webb now leads by 11 going into the next round in Foxborough.
Aaron Plessinger held on for third on the night. The KTM rider won his heat race and used his off-road expertise to hang with the front runners. Once Justin Cooper crashed out of third, Plessinger overtook the position and rounded out the podium.

250 MAIN
Cole Davies dominated the 250 main here in Seattle. The Star Racing Yamaha rider grabbed the holeshot and immediately began blitzing the whoops despite the rutted conditions.

He’s third in points, 20 behind the leader.

Deegan fought through the pack and with two laps to go, he made an aggressive pass on Beaumer for third. This gave Deegan the final spot on the box and helped him maintain the points lead.
