Watch: Tampa Highlights
The 250SX East Region kicked off last night in Tampa, Florida. Monster Energy/Star Racing Yamaha's newest member Shane McElrath made his debut with the team before taking the checkered flag in the main event. Jordon Smith, Jeremy Martin, and 2019 250SX East Region Champion Chase Sexton battled behind McElrath before Sexton and Martin took second and third, respectively.

In the 450SX Class, teammates Adam Cianciarulo and Eli Tomac jumped out front. Cianciarulo led the first 10 laps before Tomac used the outside line through the sand turn to take over the lead. A mistake by Cianciarulo in the whoops would cost the rookie several positions as Tomac would go on to take his 30th career main event win. Cooper Webb, Ken Roczen, and Malcolm Stewart fought over the final two spots on the podium but eventually it was Webb and Roczen taking second and third, respectively.
