2024 INDIANAPOLIS SUPERCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE

Round ten of the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross Championship is officially in the books, as Triple Crown racing went off in Indianapolis, Indiana. As expected, the track broke down quickly, which led to a challenging and technical race course for the evening. The fans inside Lucas Oil Stadium saw a thrilling night of close battles, crashes, and important finishes in the 250 East Region and 450 Class.

250 Race One

Jalek Swoll snagged the first holeshot of the night, but quickly got shuffled back to third after Daxton Bennick and Cameron McAdoo snaked inside of the Triumph rider. Tom Vialle then made a quick pass on Swoll on the opening lap to pick up third place. Bennick made a mistake on the second lap, which allowed Cameron McAdoo to make a pass for the lead. 

Tom Vialle then blitzed past Bennick in the whoops a few sections later to pick up second place. Shortly after being shuffled back to third, Bennick went down in the sand and fell back to 13th place.

While running inside the top-10, Max Anstie made a few mistakes and fell back to 22nd place. Haiden Deegan caught up to the rear tire of Tom Vialle and nearly went down after the whoops but managed to save it.
