00:02Hey don't count yourself out. I don't know. Into the 250 last chance qualifier shout out to Rocky
00:10Mountain ATV MC every week they give a privateer a thousand dollars and if that rider makes the
00:14main they'll double it to 2,000 it's Luke Neese rider out of the Carolinas there on the number
00:1895. I believe Hardy Munoz not lining up for this LCQ had a couple crashes in the heat. Here we
00:25go
00:25Oh, 250 LCQ always brings the heat. Here it comes
00:33Gavin Towers on the inside of the 73 Phoenix Honda. How's the whole shot?
00:39Oh, clutch for Towers. Neese right behind him.
00:44Look at these guys fighting for that position early on in that tight 180 corner they get through these
00:50first laps are gonna be chaos but watch the whoops these guys are gonna be sending it
00:57down.
00:58Ah, starting to jump. Oh, and Towers down.
01:02Oh, man. Getting a little excited there early on and they are super trying. Oh, no. Oh, he goes
01:09down again and that is going to end his chances.
01:13There's Noah Viney that got run into as Towers is trying to get up.
01:18So it is Luke Neese in the lead. We already mentioned he could double his money if he gets into
01:23the main.
01:24Brighton Carroll out of New Jersey.
01:26Second generation rider under the second spot of the 483. Here's Bright Shelley who was running well earlier but had
01:32that first turn crash in the heat.
01:34Oh, there's Towers. Yeah, Towers has dipped his front end in between one of the whoops and
01:40rotated forward. Really nothing he could do there. Takes a trip over the bars.
01:44Then he gets collected by another rider. See, there's a replay from a different angle and super easy to do.
01:50If I had to guess, then he probably got a little wheel spin on the drive through. Dip that front
01:56end, like I said, over the bars. Hate to see it.
02:00Shelly made the move on Carroll. So that'll move the number 80 up to second. And then it's Marcus Phelps.
02:07And Jeremy Hand battling for the final transfer. Looks like Hand might have made the move there.
02:13Veteran out of Ohio. See about Carroll. Can you hang on to that third place spot? That's fine.
02:20Loss the spot to Shelly. But it's going to get crazy if Hand and Phelps can get to that 483.
02:27And you see Hand lurking on the 87.
02:35Kind of mellow right now.
02:39Look at the team name there for Carroll. Life of a privateer Yamaha.
02:43There's a lot of traveling with Corey Karsten, the son of Mary Karsten, as both their dads used to race.
02:49And then they travel a lot of the races together. The two sons helps cut the cost a little bit.
02:55See Shelly locking down that second place spot.
02:58Of course, going to talk quite a bit about going to Daytona next week.
03:02And then after that, Monster Energy, SMX, headed to the Circle City in Indy.
03:06Be there to witness history happen because it's a triple crown.
03:09The second one of the season will take place in Indy.
03:12All the stars on the track for six critical races.
03:17Go to SuperMotocross.com for tickets and information.
03:21Lucas Oil Stadium, a great and very popular stop.
03:25Man, Seattle, Arlington, Daytona, Indy.
03:28Then a break, weekend off.
03:30We have had some fantastic crowds all year long and I anticipate it being the same way with how exciting
03:38and competitive this SMX has been.
03:42I think it's going to get a little more exciting here because hand is closing on Carroll.
03:48All three of these riders you see on the screen right now would be in that second, third, and fourth.
03:53It's going to be up to Ryder Floyd, perhaps, Ryder out of Texas to catch him.
03:57This 250 East division is keeping this last chance a little more on the low key side than I'd rather
04:03like to see in the last chance.
04:04Are you trying to do this? I know what you want.
04:06No, I'm not.
04:06You're trying to announce his curse so we can get some typical LCQ trauma.
04:10Well, no, hand is experienced, right?
04:12He's been in this game for quite a while.
04:14He's not going to do anything silly.
04:16And he's in this position.
04:19He has no pressure from behind.
04:21So, really, other than making it to the main, he's not going to gain anything than a start position,
04:28which I think the biggest thing is getting into that main event.
04:32He's been jumping through these whoops all race long, and it's a bit faster.
04:36Goes up the inside, JT.
04:40You see the pass attempt to be made here by Jeremy Henn.
04:42I think they're playing it cool.
04:44They know they're all in.
04:45There's no pressure.
04:46I wouldn't expect anything too silly here unless Brighton Carroll really wants to force the issue.
04:51But, Jason, I wanted to point something out to you.
04:52Look at this field.
04:53Your leader, Luke Neese, second generation.
04:56His father, Jim Neese, the podium guy in 125 Supercross.
04:58You've got Brighton Carroll.
05:00Father Brian Carroll was a former racer.
05:02You've got Evan Ferry in 12th.
05:04His dad, Tim Ferry.
05:06Ricky, we both raced against him.
05:08Go back through the field.
05:10Jace Kessler.
05:10His father, Mickey Kessler.
05:12He's in 18th.
05:12And then Hayes Edwards in 19th.
05:14His father, as we mentioned earlier, MotoGP legend Colin Edwards.
05:18So, all sorts of second generation racers in this LCQ.
05:22That's right.
05:22And then that Henn group, both dad and uncle for Jeremy Henn used to race out here.
05:27So, not too hard to figure out where these kids learn the skills from.
05:33Shelly has been solid in second.
05:35It looks like a look over from Henn.
05:37He now knows he has Carroll cleared.
05:38Can Carroll hold on to it in that last spot?
05:42Neese, by the way, hasn't won an LCQ since Houston back in 2024.
05:48And looking to dial it in right now.
05:51And that would be $2,000 for Neese.
05:54That's right.
05:55To get this done.
05:55Double down.
05:57Yep.
05:59Well, we thought this one would get crazy.
06:01Well, I tell you what.
06:02These guys are just doing what they need to do.
06:07Wait a minute.
06:08There's Roger Floyd on that great Honda.
06:10He's got Carroll in sight.
06:12It might get spicy for the transfer position here.
06:15It almost never fails in his last chance qualifiers.
06:18Carroll better go.
06:19Here comes Floyd.
06:21And the 91 of Isaiah Clark.
06:24Uh-oh.
06:25Last lap.
06:28Yep.
06:28There's that white flag now for Carroll.
06:32Carroll can race forward here.
06:35Oh, no, Floyd.
06:36Pardon me.
06:37He can race forward.
06:40Yes.
06:41Going to have to.
06:42The gap between him and Floyd.
06:43That'd be money.
06:45Neese of the 95, the leader.
06:47Looking to bring it home.
06:51Carroll looking to ramp it back up.
06:53He's actually reclosed the gap on hand.
06:55He's got to go.
06:56Cannot let Floyd get there.
06:59He's got a good gap.
07:01So long as he gets through the whoops clean, he's got this on lock.
07:04Good rebound for Carroll.
07:09And drone shot of the whoops.
07:10Boom.
07:11Luke Neese.
07:12Two grand.
07:13Yeah, there you go.
07:14Rocky Mountain ATV MC hooking him up.
07:16Luke Neese wins the LCQ.
07:19He's going to the main.
07:20Let's see who will join him.
07:21Bryce Shelley, a great job.
07:23He's in.
07:24Head and Carroll get it done.
07:27Carroll's pumped.
07:28I love it.
07:29Look how stoked he is, man.
07:32Celebrating.
07:33Fist pumping.
07:35Ready to rock for the main.
07:37Atta boy.
07:38Great job.
07:40And he'll join this man, Joe Shimoda, getting ready for the 250 main event.
07:45Coming up not long from now, Cole Davies as well.
07:48Drew Adams and the rest.
07:50250 East starts tonight.
