Last Year’s Winners: Eli Tomac (450SX), Cameron McAdoo (250SX)

Last Race: The postponed visit to Oakland’s RingCentral Coliseum would have slotted in perfectly with the early-season results if it had been run in its originally planned January window. Eli Tomac was once again the front-runner in the 450SX class, although he had to withstand a late charge from Cooper Webb to do it, while Jett Lawrence took advantage of mistakes from Cameron McAdoo and RJ Hampshire to take the lead and extend his 250SX West points lead to 20 as the West riders get the next month off.

Race Preview: It’s three riders who have set them selves apart from the rest of the 450SX field, with Tomac leading Webb and Sexton by seven points apiece coming into Arlington. Known for having some of the best dirt on the Supercross tour, Tomac has a prime opportunity to extend that advantage as the defending race winner. Behind the leading trio, Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson is the best of the rest, and he’ll be going solo tonight as Adam Cianciarulo aggravated a wrist injury in practice and will be sitting out the round.

250SX East returns to action in Arlington for the next four rounds with Hunter Lawrence looking to replicate his brother Jett’s successes. He’s two-for-two to start the year, giving him an eight-point advantage over teammate Max Anstie. In third is Haiden Deegan, whose move up this year has seen consistently impressive results for a teenager on the biggest stage for the first time; he’s five points clear of MXGP convert Tom Vialle for top rookie status in the division.
