The Yamaha rider steadily built a gap and never faced a serious challenge, ultimately winning by a staggering 17.2 seconds. Chaos unfolded behind him as title rival Seth Hammaker crashed while advancing through the field and later tangled with Daxton Bennick in a late-race battle for second. The incident allowed Nate Thrasher to slip into the runner-up spot for his first podium of the season. Hammaker initially crossed the line in third but was penalized two positions for cutting the track earlier in the race, promoting Devin Simonson to a career-first podium in third.","excerpt":"<p>There are four remaining races in the 2026 Supercross season and Hunter Lawrence has regained the points lead with a &hellip;<\/p>","date":"April 13, 2026 10:10","categories":[{"id":25047609,"title":"Moto","slug":"moto"},{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"}],"tags":[{"id":25049854,"title":"Cole Davies","slug":"cole-davies"},{"id":25048062,"title":"hunter lawrence","slug":"hunter-lawrence"},{"id":25047621,"title":"motocross","slug":"motocross"},{"id":25047764,"title":"mx","slug":"mx"},{"id":25049262,"title":"nashville","slug":"nashville"},{"id":25047620,"title":"supercross","slug":"supercross"},{"id":25047987,"title":"SX","slug":"sx"}]},{"id":15353,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2026\/04\/09\/jo-shimoda-to-miss-remaining-supercross-rounds-after-fibula-fracture\/","title":"Jo Shimoda to Miss Remaining Supercross Rounds After Fibula Fracture","content":"Reigning 250 SuperMotocross Champion Jo Shimoda will miss the remainder of the AMA Supercross season following a crash during Saturday\u2019s round in St. Louis, but the Honda HRC Progressive rider is expected to make a full recovery in time for the start of the outdoor campaign.
