Eli Tomac continued his dominance of the 2022 AMA Monster Energy Supercross Championship Series, nailing down his sixth win of the season at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Although Tomac grabbed his fourth consecutive win, it wasn’t an easy race. The track was treacherous and the racing tight. For much of the Main Event, the Top 5 riders were within five seconds of each other.
After nabbing the holeshot, Justin Barcia led for nine laps before getting passed by Jason Anderson. Within a lap, Barcia put a hard pass on Anderson in a flat right-hand corner, knocking Anderson down. With Anderson out of the Top 5, Tomac moved into P2 and began stalking Barcia. On lap 20 of the 27-lap race, Tomac put a convincing move on Barcia. Tomac was not seriously threatened until the final lap when Tomac bobbled in the brutal whoops, allowing Barcia to close in. When the checkered flag flew, Barcia was 1.3 seconds behind the winner Tomac. Anderson finished in P6.
Marvin Musquin filled out the podium, followed by Chase Sexton and Cooper Webb. Sexton and Webb had a violent collision a week earlier at Detroit, with both riders failing to finish. Crossing the Lucas Oil Stadium finish line, Sexton was less than a half-second clear of Webb.
Malcolm Stewart ran in P4 from lap 2 until lap 23, when he cased a landing, dropping Stewart to P8, behind Dean Wilson, who had been lapped by Tomac on the short track. Vince Friese finished in P9, despite being lapped twice, with Ryan Breece taking P10, his first Top 10 Main Event finish.
Tomac leaves Indianapolis with a 51-point lead over Jason Anderson and Justin Barcia, who are tied at 240 point. Malcolm Stewart is two point behind the pair.
