After consistent rainfall and wind swept through Massachusetts on Thursday and Friday, Monster Energy®/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki riders McAdoo and Hammaker started the day off strong on the muddy track by qualifying second and fourth fastest overall. As the wind picked up and more unpredicted rainfall, the track became more challenging as the night progressed. Heading into the heat race, Hammaker secured a third place start, and maintained his position consistently through the race. McAdoo had a subpar start, resulting in him needing to race his way forward from the seventh position. Hammaker battled in the third and fourth position, eventually finishing third in the heat race. McAdoo progressively fought his way through the competition, soon making his way up to second place where he would finish. In the 250SX Main Event, Hammaker would secure a second place start until a mistake in the whoops sent him off the bike. Hammaker slowly remounted, but suffered a shoulder injury and was unable to continue the remainder of the race. McAdoo would have another subpar start, with another seventh place around the first turn. McAdoo would eventually battle his way into the Top 3, overtaking second by halfway. With the leader in sight and the points championship on his mind, McAdoo would maintain his pace and finish second overall, extending his points lead.

Seth Hammaker: “I started off the weekend strong in qualifying and the heat race and felt really good about the night despite my few falls and mud-bogging moment earlier in the day. I had great starts and felt good until I got sideways in the whoops and went down straight on my shoulder. I didn’t dislocate it, but it felt really sore and weak so we decided to end the race early to prevent anything worse happening. We have the speed, I just need to stop making these small mistakes. Now we need to get ready for the East/West Showdown!”

"I'm really bummed to not be able to finish out the full Supercross season, given I was having my best 450 season yet. Your elbow is just one of those areas of your body that takes a lot of impact when you ride, so I need to do the right thing and let it heal properly with a realistic goal to be back in time for the start of the Pro Motocross series. The good thing is there is no ligament damage, so healing should hopefully be short and sweet. It’s hard to be negative when I’m lucky enough to work with a great team who fully support healing properly, so we should all be back together getting ready for an early start on outdoor preparations in a few weeks' time."
