2022 Budds Creek Motocross National Results and Standings

It was a rollercoaster ride for the two 2022 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship Series leaders, as Eli Tomac and Chase Sexton swapped wins and the lead in the standings at the 2022 Budds Creek National.

Coming into Budds Creek with a one-point lead in the series, Sexton went down on the first lap of Moto 1, putting him in P29 after the first lap and Tomac in P3 behind Ryan Dungy and leader Ken Roczen. By lap 4, Tomac had taken the lead for good, with Sexton back in P15. Despite falling again, Sexton was able to rebound to P7 by the end. However, Sexton’s one-point series lead had turned into a 10-point deficit with five Motos remaining in the season. Jason Anderson took P2 in the moto, and Ken Roczen rounded out the podium.

Moto 2 was a wild affair, with four different riders leading at various times, and six lead changes in the first 11 laps (of 17). Dungey led the two opening laps, yielding to a hard-charging Roczen on lap 3. A lap later, Anderson took the lead, holding it until lap 8, when Sexton passed him. A lap later, Sexton fell, returning the lead to Anderson, who surrendered it back to Roczen after just one lap. However, Sexton regrouped, taking the lead for good on lap 11. Tomac struggled after a mediocre start that left him in P9 after a lap. Tomac worked his way up to P5 by the end, retaining a single point of the lead he brought into the moto. Anderson and Roczen reprised their first Moto finishing positions.

With a 2-2 day, Anderson took the overall, with Tomac’s 1-5 good enough for P2 overall. Roczen’s 3-3 day landed him on the podium, just ahead of Chase Sexton’s 7-1 ride. Ryan Dungey rounded out the top 5, going 4-4.

Justin Barcia was disqualified from Moto 2 for an incident involving defending champion Dylan Ferrandis. Ferrandis did not finish the race.
