SX Futures
After a great battle with Gavin Towers, Cole Davies took the first 250SX Futures main event win of the season. In his first season on the 250F in 2023, Davies raced a few rounds of Supercross Futures, and in three races his season best was a fourth at last year’s Anaheim 2. Fast forward to this year’s A2 event and he grabbed his first win. Word is the New Zealand native has a tryout with GasGas and if all goes well, he might move to the U.S. full-time. Safe to say 2024 is off to a good start for the #17!

Bad Billy
Billy Laninovich qualified for the 250SX Triple Crown races, an incredible 22 years after his first start—also at the Anaheim 2 SX, but in 2002.
At 40 years old, Billy Laninovich qualifies for the 250SX main event Triple Crown races tonight.

His first 125SX class main event was the 2002 Anaheim 2 SX on January 19, 2002.
That was 22 years, 8 days ago!@SupercrossLIVE #SXHistory #Supercross #SupercrossLIVE #SX2024 #SMX2024
Webbing Into the Top Ten
Cooper Webb’s win on Saturday was his 22nd career 450SX overall win—and his first aboard a Yamaha YZ450F. This gives him sole possession of tenth on the all-time AMA Supercross premier class wins list.
Cooper Webb's win tonight was his 22nd career 450SX main event win and his 4th 450SX Triple Crown overall win.

Four Rounds, Four Different Winners
Last time we saw in 450SX this was in:
2022
Round 1: Ken Roczen (Honda)
Round 2: Jason Anderson (Kawasaki)
Round 3: Chase Sexton (Honda)
Round 4: Eli Tomac (Yamaha)
Round 5: Tomac (2)
Eventual Champion: Eli Tomac (Yamaha)
I believe there have only been five different seasons in AMA Supercross history with four different winners in the first four rounds:
2024
2022
2021
2012
and 1976.
HOWEVER! I have not found a season that started with five different winners in five rounds in the premier class. It's your move, 2024. Can you deliver in Detroit?
Last time we saw this in 250SX West Region was in:
2021
Round 1: Justin Cooper (Yamaha)
Round 2: Cameron McAdoo (Kawasaki)
Round 3: Seth Hammaker (Kawasaki)
Round 4: Hunter Lawrence (Honda)
Round 5: Cooper (2)
Eventual Champion: Justin Cooper (Yamaha)
Through 4 rounds of @SupercrossLIVE, we have 4 different main event winners in BOTH 250SX West Region AND 450SX.

Post-Race Penalty Report
Late Saturday night, the AMA penalized Jason Anderson one position in the third race after he crashed, remounted, and went around the entire whoops section while accelerating. But the one position in the race ended up shifting the overall podium: it bumped Anderson from second overall down to fourth overall off the podium, bumped Eli Tomac to second overall, and Aaron Plessinger to fourth overall. Couple this position and points change with Jett Lawrence's crash late in the third race and Plessinger leaves the fourth round in the points lead.
The AMA has released the Anaheim 2 #Supercross post-race penalty report.

Anderson's penalty in race three was noted late Saturday night, although in time for Plessinger to head to the post-race press conference.
A fine for Webb is noted after race two. #SupercrossLIVE #SX2024 pic.twitter.com/eBbTZEFj0J
