00:00Here we go.
00:01Hopefully this will help maybe a guy like Daxton.
00:03If you can't probably tell him, like, look, here,
00:05you've got the route a little bit better than that, you know,
00:07but he was coming up, we'll see.
00:09Look, and Benick is coming off his second podium of the year,
00:13and that was a second place in Philadelphia.
00:16But with that being said,
00:18it's not the first time that Benick's been in an LCQ this year.
00:20He was in the St. Louis LCQ.
00:24He won that and then went on to do well in the main
00:27and constructed part of his really positive season.
00:30All right, let's reset.
00:31Let's go again.
00:32Last chance qualifying for the 250 class.
00:34Here we go.
00:36Ryder DeFrancisco on the left-hand side of the screen
00:38gets another good start.
00:40Ryder down.
00:41And that was the 74, I think, Gage Linville that went down.
00:47Yeah, you talk about Benick.
00:49He had to go around.
00:50Linville lost a ton of time.
00:52So, James, he is going to have some tuck work ahead of him
00:55in a short amount of time.
00:56Yeah, I agree with that.
00:58At least he knows what he's got to do now.
00:59Hey, it might be a restart,
01:01but it's the same two riders up front.
01:02Justin Rodbell slots into second nicely.
01:05Henry Miller is in the mix.
01:07Gavin Towers is in there in the top four.
01:10Copy and paste for these two guys.
01:12And again, same game plan right here.
01:15Rodbell was really fast through the whoops
01:17in the first couple laps before the red flag.
01:20So, keep your eye on Rodbell number 83 there as they come around.
01:23He was making up some time on Ryder D in those first few laps.
01:28Yeah, and I think what you're seeing,
01:29these guys are a little bit more aggressive
01:30because now the track dried off.
01:32When we had that red restart right there,
01:34they had a little bit of time.
01:35This track's dry.
01:36You can tell they're a little bit more aggressive here.
01:38Let's see how they get through these whoops sections.
01:39Yeah, that's right.
01:40Not as slick, the dirt or the water kind of soaked in.
01:43And nice run through Henry Miller.
01:46I was watching him in time qualifying practice,
01:49and man, he was having some good speed.
01:51I'm wondering, something must have went down
01:52in the heat race that we didn't see
01:55because he's been riding too well
01:57and had good speed all day long.
01:59Continuing this amazing story of MX6 racing
02:03in their first full year of competition.
02:06He's eighth in the championship standings, by the way,
02:09in the East Division, which is an awesome season.
02:12He's looking on the inside of Ron Bell.
02:14Now, while it's a cut and paste,
02:16to copy what you said, Ricky,
02:18for Ryder D out in front,
02:20it is certainly not for his teammate
02:23who is a lot further back
02:25than where he would like to be in 11th place.
02:29Remember, I talked about Miller
02:30getting a good run through the whoops.
02:32Watch what he's able to do here
02:33if he gets a good entry.
02:36He goes a little sideways
02:37because he went to the inside
02:39to make the move
02:40and he didn't get that entry speed that he wanted
02:42but still was able to have good speed
02:44after all of that
02:45towards the exit of the whoops.
02:47Great run.
02:48Got some positive news, Stu,
02:50about Brandon Ray,
02:51the rider who was down
02:52for a long period of time
02:53and the reason for the red flag
02:55and the restart,
02:56he's alert, he's awake
02:57and undergoing further evaluation
02:59and we're working on getting you an update
03:01on Eli Tomac as well.
03:04That's great news.
03:05Good to hear.
03:05Great news.
03:09Yeah, looks like Ryder D
03:11is starting to pick up the pace.
03:13Those guys are starting
03:13to get pretty close
03:14and really great to see
03:17how good they were.
03:18Both those guys going
03:19and Henry Miller
03:20and they brought Rob L
03:21in the whoops section.
03:23Yeah, they're riding well.
03:24I mean, they got good speed.
03:26Oh, another rider goes down.
03:28He's able to get off the track, though.
03:31This is what Daxton needs.
03:33He's needs...
03:34Actually, he's a lot farther back.
03:36Yeah, he's 10th right there.
03:38Yeah.
03:38Left-hand side of your screen.
03:40He's probably five, six seconds
03:42back of the fall fight position.
03:45We only have a minute,
03:4750 seconds plus one lap to go here.
03:49These laps are going to wind down,
03:51especially for him
03:52because all these top four guys,
03:54top seven guys are right.
03:55Yeah.
03:56You know, right there, bunched up.
03:58Keep an eye on Crockett Myers
03:59aboard the 131.
04:02He's in fifth place at the moment,
04:04but boy, is he turning
04:05in some good lap times.
04:06There he is there.
04:07Last rider into that berm.
04:09There he is.
04:11He has had a very good record
04:12this year of converting
04:14out of the LCQ
04:15into the main events.
04:16Close, but so far.
04:17But I go back to
04:18a lot of these guys
04:19are doing the same
04:22rhythm lanes and choices.
04:23and I feel like
04:25a lot of the time
04:25is won and lost
04:26right through that section,
04:27the whoops section.
04:28Back to the Daxton Benick story.
04:30Here he is
04:30through the whoops
04:32with a lot of work to do.
04:35Is there a chance?
04:37Highly unlikely.
04:38Gets a little rough
04:39and rugged there.
04:41JT with Josh Fereze.
04:43He's going to have to get
04:45really aggressive here.
04:46And what, you know,
04:47Ricky was mentioning earlier,
04:48as you see Fereze
04:49kind of repay that
04:50in favor there.
04:51The times all day long
04:52have been wildly similar.
04:54In the 450A practice,
04:56the top 10 guys
04:57were all in the same second.
05:00Josh Fereze goes down
05:03for the second time today.
05:04Remember that wild get-off
05:06in the heat race.
05:08And then now
05:09he has that collision
05:10with Daxton Benick.
05:13Yeah, Daxton's got to get up
05:14the inside right here
05:16and go single in the corner.
05:18He hits that tough blocks
05:20and then just kind of gets,
05:21you know, stuck on the outside.
05:23There was nothing happened.
05:24Just kind of a racing incident.
05:25But, yeah, tough for both of them.
05:28Well, you saw Dax
05:29put out his hand there
05:30almost to say sorry.
05:31I didn't mean that.
05:32That was not intentional.
05:35So time is up.
05:39He must have just missed it.
05:41He got two laps left.
05:42So, good spot.
05:44Yeah, no need to push it too much.
05:47Just get into that main event
05:49and probably nerve-wracking
05:50for the 34-a-rider De Francisco.
05:53But I go back to Henry Miller
05:54riding exceptionally well.
05:56He's had a great season.
05:58Go back to last year.
06:00It seems like the Rockstar 250 team
06:02struggled because even RJ
06:03had to go to the LCQ last year
06:05and come out.
06:07I don't know how to main event
06:08and win, but
06:10kind of a little off today
06:11for sure.
06:13It's about two seconds
06:15between Gavin Towers
06:16aboard his Phoenix Honda
06:17and Crockett Myers.
06:20Can Crockett do anything about that
06:22over this closing lap
06:23and a bit.
06:25There's Gavin Towers
06:27and Myers has just crossed
06:29the finish jump now.
06:30Yeah, Towers got a little
06:31insurance right here, man.
06:33If he can get through
06:34these next couple lanes
06:36and get a good run
06:37through the whoops,
06:38he will have this thing
06:40in the bag.
06:40And he's done really well
06:42these last few rounds here
06:44and just showing up
06:46and being in every race
06:47made a lot of laps.
06:48And I think it's a successful
06:49season for Gavin Towers.
06:52So it's a better story
06:55for Ryder DeFrancisco
06:56in comparison to his teammate
06:57Dax DeFennig.
06:58There may be a little bit
07:00of light at the end
07:01of the tunnel for Dax.
07:02He won't like not making
07:03the main event
07:04in the last Supercross race
07:05of the year.
07:06But the positive is
07:07he has a big enough
07:08points gap over Cody Schock
07:10to more than likely
07:12keep third place
07:13in the championship.
07:14I was looking at that.
07:15There it is.
07:17Checkered flag.
07:17Well done.
07:18Ryder DeFrancisco.
07:19Henry Miller.
07:20Justin Rodbell.
07:21Gavin Towers.
07:22The four riders
07:23who make the final
07:25250 main of the year.
07:28I think Gavin may have
07:29heard him.
