2022 Indianapolis Supercross Highlights & Results
Highlights from round 11 of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Supercross.
250SX
In the 250SX main event, it was championship leaders Jett Lawrence and Cameron McAdoo going back and forth early in the race. Lawrence started with the race lead but in the middle portion of the race it appeared McAdoo had the upper hand. Eventually, Lawrence caught up to the Kawasaki rider and made a pass to get back into the top spot, and he would hold it until taking the checkered flag. McAdoo held on for second place as RJ Hampshire held off Pierce Brown by just 0.398 seconds at the finish line for the final spot on the podium!

450SX
In the 450SX main event, Justin Barcia swung into and out of the first turn with the race lead. Jason Anderson made his way into second place by the end of the first section. After leading the first nine laps of the race, a bobble by Barcia in the whoops allowed Anderson to take over the race lead. The very next lap, Barcia came to the far inside as Anderson hit the outside of the 180-degree turn after the supercross triple, taking the #21 to the ground. Anderson remounted behind a handful of riders and would eventually finish sixth. Barcia continued to click off lap after lap until Eli Tomac caught him and the two battled for P1. Tomac would lead the final eight laps of the race to take his 43rd career 450SX main event win of his career—his sixth of the 2022 season. Barcia held on to take the checkered flag in second place, but he received a three-point championship penalty and a $3,000 fine following the race.
