LAWRENCES Both Jett and Hunter have multiple wins in 250SX, and Jett was poised to take the 250SX East Region crown as April ended. And in the first East-West Showdown of the year, at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Hunter won with Jett third, marking the second time they both finished on the podium of an East-West race. And when you add unrelated past winners Phil and Jason Lawrence, the last name Lawrence has had more winning riders than any other.
Ben Kelley The FMF/KTM Factory team leader in GNCC reeled off five straight wins to start his 2022 title defense, opening a points lead of more than two races before the halfway mark. But more competition is coming, as some of the top guys who got injured early in the season—Stew Baylor, Thad Duvall, Josh Strang—should be back in action this fall.
