Jett Lawrence continued his undefeated streak in the 450MX class of the 2023 AMA Pro Motocross National Championship Series, beating runner-up Chase Sexton twice at the 2023 Washougal National Motocross round at Washougal MX Park in Washington.
There were a couple of minor chinks in Lawrence’s armor, as Dylan Ferrandis was credited with two holeshots, while Aaron Plessinger led the three opening laps of the 16-lap second motor. Lawrence was challenged by Sexton late into moto 2 until Sexton stalled his engine going into the Washougal chicane on lap 13, allowing Lawrence to cruise to the win.
Jason Anderson converted 4-4 finishes into a P3 overall, Anderson’s first podium of the 2023 AMA Pro Motocross National Championship Series. Ferrandis went 3-5 for a P4 overall, with Plessinger rounding out the top five with a 7-3 round.
The series takes a two-weekend break before resuming at Unadilla MX in New Berlin, New York, on August 12. If Lawrence wins both motos at the Unadilla National, he will clinch the 2023 AMA Pro Motocross National Championship.
