The points battle has been tight for Chase Sexton and Eli Tomac. Sexton\u2019s to 1-1 dominant sweep allowed him to reclaim the points lead. Here is what happened during the motos.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5434\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/22ProMotocrosssUnadilla_ChaseSexton-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nIn 450 Moto one, Dylan Ferrandis was finally out front with the holeshot. As usual, Ken Roczen wasn\u2019t far behind. Jason Anderson was running third until he had a small miscue that allowed Eli Tomac get around. Tomac wasted zero time making a pass to get to the lead. Sexton was quietly moving his way up through the pack and soon closed in on Tomac. It wasn\u2019t long before Sexton took over the lead and checked out. In the second moto, Tomac was back out front with the holeshot. In a repeat of the first moto, Sexton moved his way up again to chase down Tomac. Sexton waited for just the right moment, catching Tomac off guard before rocketing to the lead. When it was all over, Sexton had built a 15 second lead on Tomac for the win.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5435\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/22ProMotocrossUnadilla_250Pack-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nIn the 250 motos, Justin Cooper had the holeshot. Cooper crashed allowing several riders to get by including Jo Shimoda who assumed the lead. Shimoda stayed there through the finish of the moto for the win. In the second moto, Justin Cooper was back out front with another holeshot. Cooper was soon challenged by Jett Lawrence but defended his moves every time. In the final attempt to pass Cooper, Lawrence crashed. Cooper soon put a ten second lead on the rest of the field to claim the win. The overall went to Jo Shimoda. Jett Lawrence still has a commanding lead atop the points standings.\r\n\r\nPhotos courtesy of Align Media\r\n\r\n<strong>450 Class Overall Results (Moto Finish \/\/ Points)<\/strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Chase Sexton, La Moille, Ill., Honda (1-1 \/\/ 50)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Eli Tomac, Cortez, Colo., Yamaha (2-2 \/\/ 44)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Jason Anderson, Edgewood, N.M., Kawasaki (3-3 \/\/ 40)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Aaron Plessinger, Hamilton, Ohio, KTM (7-4 \/\/ 32)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Ryan Dungey, Belle Plaine, Minn., KTM (6-6 \/\/ 30)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Ken Roczen, Germany, Honda (5-7 \/\/ 30)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Dylan Ferrandis, France, Yamaha (4-10 \/\/ 29)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Justin Barcia, Monroe, N.Y., GASGAS (10-5 \/\/ 27)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Joey Savatgy, Thomasville, Ga., Kawasaki (9-8 \/\/ 25)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Christian Craig, El Cajon, Calif., Yamaha (11-9 \/\/ 22)<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<strong>450 Class Championship Standings (Round 9 of 12)<\/strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Chase Sexton, La Moille, Ill., Honda - 409<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Eli Tomac, Cortez, Colo., Yamaha - 408<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Jason Anderson, Edgewood, N.M., Kawasaki - 325<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Ken Roczen, Germany, Honda - 304<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Christian Craig, El Cajon, Calif., Yamaha - 273<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Ryan Dungey, Belle Plaine, Minn., KTM - 266<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Justin Barcia, Monroe, N.Y., GASGAS - 246<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Aaron Plessinger, Hamilton, Ohio, KTM - 230<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Joey Savatgy, Thomasville, Ga., Kawasaki - 191<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Shane McElrath, Canton, N.C., Husqvarna - 165<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>250 Class Overall Results (Moto Finishes \/\/ Points)<\/strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Jo Shimoda, Japan, Kawasaki (1-3 \/\/ 45)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Justin Cooper, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., Yamaha (5-1 \/\/ 41)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Hunter Lawrence, Australia, Honda (2-5 \/\/ 38)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Jett Lawrence, Australia, Honda (7-2 \/\/ 36)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>RJ Hampshire, Hudson, Fla., Husqvarna (2-8 \/\/ 33)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Max Vohland, Sacramento, Calif., KTM (6-6 \/\/ 30)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Nick Romano, Bayside, N.Y., Yamaha (4-9 \/\/ 30)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Cameron McAdoo, Sioux City, Iowa, Kawasaki (11-4 \/\/ 28)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Nate Thrasher, Livingston, Tenn., Yamaha (10-7 \/\/ 25)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Pierce Brown, Sandy, Utah, GASGAS (9-10 \/\/ 23)<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<strong>250 Class Championship Standings (Round 9 of 12)<\/strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Jett Lawrence, Australia, Honda - 391<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Hunter Lawrence, Australia, Honda - 365<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Jo Shimoda, Japan, Kawasaki - 351<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Justin Cooper, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., Yamaha - 316<\/li>\r\n \t<li>RJ Hampshire, Hudson, Fla., Husqvarna - 227<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Max Vohland, Sacramento, Calif., KTM - 222<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Seth Hammaker, Bainbridge, Pa., Kawasaki - 207<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Levi Kitchen, Washougal, Wash., Yamaha - 180<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Michael Mosiman, Sebastopol, Calif., GASGAS - 169<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Stilez Robertson, Bakersfield, Calif., Husqvarna - 169<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Nate Thrasher, Livingston, Tenn., Yamaha - 169<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","excerpt":"After a short break, the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship was back with racing in Central New York at the Unadilla National.
