PHILADELPHIA — Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton recovered from a first turn tangle and then put on an impressive charge to win Round 13 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship.
The Philadelphia Supercross victory tightened up the points as the final four rounds of the season promise to be thrilling.
Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb also recovered from the multi-rider first turn incident and matched Sexton pass for pass through the pack. Webb earned second place inside Lincoln Financial Field and retains the championship points lead by 12 points over Sexton.
Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki’s Ken Roczen grabbed the Holeshot then led for the majority of the race despite nursing a bad ankle injury.
“It’s time to make or break. I felt great all day, and that’s how you do it: one, one, one, one [fastest qualifier in both sessions, heat race win, main event win],” Sexton said. “I’m looking forward to the next race, but today was awesome. Good, dry track, not like last weekend, and I’m feeling good on the bike. It’s been fun and today was a good step in the right direction.”
In the second of three 250SX class East/West Showdowns in 2025, Cole Davies (west) established himself as the fastest 250SX Class racer with a statement ride over top competition.
Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan, the points leader in the Western Divisional 250SX Class, finished in second. Deegan pushed his way into second late in the race and was unable to mount an attack for the lead.
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire grabbed the Holeshot when the race was re-started due to a red flag after Daxton Bennick went down. Hampshire led the early laps of the race and finished as the top racer in the Eastern Divisional 250SX class; the finish moved Hampshire into a points tie with Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker, who earned fourth place in his home race of Philadelphia.
