Jett Lawrence Sweeps Indianapolis Triple Crown Supercross

• Young Australian becomes only the second rider ever to accomplish the feat
• Hunter Lawrence returns from injury to finish 11^th overall in 450SX
• Eighth place overall in 250SX East for Chance Hymas

With the overall win at Indianapolis, which hosted the season’s second Triple Crown of the season, Jett Lawrence notched three wins in a row and five on the year—half of the races that have been run to this point, growing his lead in the title chase to 21 points.

As if that weren’t enough, this most recent success was really three wins in one, as the CRF450RWE-mounted Team Honda HRC rider topped all three of the 450SX races, making him only the second rider to accomplish the feat (the first having been Ken Roczen, when he rode a Honda to a trio of wins at the 2020 Glendale round).

For Jett, the three 450SX races were remarkably similar to one another, as each saw him running second to Ken Roczen on lap 1, and then making a pass for the lead before riding to the win. The last victory was the hardest-fought, with the winning pass coming on lap 11 of 16 (as opposed to lap 7 in the first two races). Meanwhile, after Hunter Lawrence missed just a single round with a fractured scapula, the tough 24-year-old returned to action in Indianapolis, where he tallied 10-10-12 finishes for 11^th overall.

In the 250SX East class, Chance Hymas showed good speed, including a fourth place in daytime qualifying and a solid showing in the second race, but he was hurt by poor starts in the first and third races (the latter made worse by a first-turn pileup). The Idaho native notched 9-5-11 results for eighth overall.
