In the 450SX Class, we all knew what happened coming into Salt Lake City 1 on May 31 and now we all know what happened in terms of who was crowned champion in the 2020 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. But we saw a lot of riders come back healthier with an improved race craft and better results followed. So let’s take a look at who earned the most points in the seven-race SLC stint. Of course, this seven-race finish to the year doesn’t award any bonus points and doesn’t provide a trophy. It’s just part of the full 17-race season. It’s interesting to see who made the best of the championship resuming, though!

Note: These are not the only riders to score points in the final seven Salt Lake City races but these riders scored the most points (top 20 in 450SX and top 15 in the respective 250SX regions).

Here’s a few things to note:

• Cooper Webb earned three main event wins compared to Tomac’s two. He also had a deficit in points (-29 points on Tomac) entering the first SLC race.
• Zach Osborne earned 147 in the seven races in SLC. From A1 to Arlington (eight races for Zacho since he missed Atlanta and Daytona because of his injury) he earned 105 points. Had the regular supercross schedule held, he wouldn’t have be able to race the remaining rounds. Thanks to the extra time, Osborne came to Utah healthy and ready to race. And in the finale, Osborne earned his first 450SX main event win.
• Malcolm Stewart’s footpeg broke and he couldn’t finish the Salt Lake City 4 Supercross main event. That hurt his points total. But Stewart did earn his first career heat race win and his recorded three top-five main event finishes—he had zero career top-five finishes until the SLC run!
• Jason Anderson had two crashes that resulted in a DNF at the Salt Lake City 5 Supercross.
• Justin Barcia's crash in the whoops in the Salt Lake City 4 Supercross (21st) and a crash in the first turn of the finale (20th) hindered his results, which ultimately gave Anderson fourth in 450SX points.
