De tweede ronde van het Amerikaanse Lucas Oil Pro Motocross kampioenschap was felbevochten. Eindwinnaar Jason Anderson (1-3) telde in Hangtown slechts één punt meer dan kampioenschapsleider Chase Sexton (2-2). Eli Tomac (4-1) werd derde op twee punten van Anderson.
Chase Sexton (HRC Honda) stak in de eerste manche het vuur aan de lont voor polesitter Jason Anderson (Kawasaki), Aaron Plessinger (Red Bull KTM), Ken Roczen (HRC-Honda) en Eli Tomac (Monster Energy Yamaha). Hoewel Plessinger al vroeg terrein verloor bleef de top-5 lang ongewijzigd.
Sexton kon een kleine kloof bij elkaar rijden op Anderson maar die nam in de 13de ronde de maat van de jonge HRC piloot. Vervolgens zette Sexton leider Anderson zwaar onder druk maar ‘El Hombre’ gaf geen krimp en kwam met 0,4 seconde voorspong over de meet! Roczen, Tomac en de goed terug gekomen Christian Craig maakten de top-5 compleet. Veteranen Ryan Dungey en Tony Cairoli moesten respectievelijk vrede nemen met een 6de en 7de plaats.
Race 2: kopstart Cairoli
Nadat Cairoli de holeshot pakte, nam Ken Roczen in de openingsronde het commando over. Teammaat Chase Sexton glipte mee in het zog van Roczen en stootte enkele ronden door naar de kop.
Lang zou het rijk van de piloot uit Illnois niet duren want Tomac -vijfde in de openingsronde- rekende in de 10de ronde af met Sexton. Opnieuw klampte die laatste aan om de leider onder druk te zetten maar ook Tomac lukte het om ‘m af te houden. Anderson was “best of the rest” op P3 nadat hij Roczen had ingehaald en pakte zo de eindzege.
Craig liet zijn tweede top-5 van de dag optekenen terwijl Cairoli en Dungey nu respectievelijk 6de en 7de werden . In de tussenstand verstevigt Chase Sexon zijn leidersplaats. Hij heeft nu n twaalf punten voorsprong op Ken Roczen, Jason Anderson volgt als 3de op zes punten van de Duitser.
