The Yamaha rider steadily built a gap and never faced a serious challenge, ultimately winning by a staggering 17.2 seconds.

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":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-Supercross_450-Podium-1024x683.jpg\")
