Eli Tomac SX Champion 2020

 

Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Eli Tomac has won the 2020 AMA 450 supercross championship and finally put his name amongst the indoor legends of the AMA supercross championship. It was a night of taking it easy as the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna riders dominated the podium with Tomac finishing fifth in the main event and showing again signs of an all new Eli Tomac.

"I mean," Tomac said. "It is unbelievable and I think about everything we went through with the team and so many ups and downs and it is unbelievable. We didn't even know if we were going to race here."

Veteran Zach Osborne passed early leader Jason Anderson to win the main event, while Anderson lost his seat during the main event and handed the lead to his team-mate to finish second and another Husky rider Dean Wilson finished in third place. A Husky triple treat.

Major contenders Ken Roczen finished seventh, and Cooper Webb eight while retiring veteran Chad Reed finishing in 10th place.

In the 250 East and West it was Chase Sexton and Dylan Ferrandis who won, after red flag restarts and major crashes cost their opposition.

In the 250 shootout Austin Forkner looked likely to win the West Coast championship and Shane Mcelrath led the race and was looking a good bet to win the East Coast, when Forkner went down hard and forced a red flag restart. Out of the running the title was the Frenchmans, and in the restart Chase Sexton ruled the roost and won the main event and retained his East Coast championship. Drama, drama, drama!!
