With the pressure mounting in one of the closest three-rider battles in series history, the Honda HRC Progressive rider rose to the occasion, turning a patient early ride into a decisive late-race charge. After stalking early leader Ken Roczen, Lawrence capitalized on a mistake from the Suzuki rider with just over eight minutes remaining and never looked back. Once out front, Lawrence sprinted away from the field and built a commanding advantage, ultimately crossing the finish line 7.1 seconds clear of Cooper Webb.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15376\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-Supercross-Nashville_450-Podium-1024x683.jpg\")
Hunter Lawrence has regained a critical points lead with four races to go in the 2026 season. Photo: Feld Motorsports[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe night proved costly for Eli Tomac, who entered Nashville tied for the points lead. A difficult start left the Yamaha rider buried in the pack, and a late crash dropped him to 12th, dealing a significant blow to his title hopes. As a result, Lawrence now holds a 10-point lead over Roczen, with Tomac slipping to third, 15 points back.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15378\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-Supercross-Nashville_Cole-Davies-1024x683.jpg\")
Cole Davies continues to lead the 250 SX Eastern points. Photo: Feld Motorsports[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the Eastern Divisional 250SMX Class, Cole Davies continued his breakout season with a commanding performance, capturing his fourth win of the year in dominant fashion. After working his way forward from outside the early lead group, Davies surged to the front less than five minutes into the race and quickly established control. 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":"There are four remaining races in the 2026 Supercross season and Hunter Lawrence has regained the points lead with a …<\/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":9421,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2024\/04\/23\/jett-lawrence-wins-at-nashville-reclaims-points-lead\/","title":"Jett Lawrence Wins at Nashville, Reclaims Points Lead","content":"Jett Lawrence is back in possession of the red plate and the Supercross points lead after a win in Nashville.

Webb was second in the points standings and had a shot at leader Eli Tomac. All Webb needed was a couple of wins to have a chance at locking up the championship.\r\n\r\nWebb posted the following to social media on Sunday morning: \u201cAs many of you saw, I suffered a concussion last night in Nashville,\u201d Webb wrote. \u201cI am thankful that everything else has checked out okay. This will unfortunately put an end to my SX season. It hurts to have it end like this, but I can hold my head high knowing I gave it my all.\u201d\r\n\r\nIt is not clear whether Webb will return for the Outdoor Motocross Championship in a few weeks.","excerpt":"
