Eli Tomac retained his title as the King of Daytona with his seventh victory at Daytona International Speedway. It wasn’t easy, as Cooper Webb led the seven opening laps before missing a shift at the finish line, allowing Tomac to speed by. Chase Sexton survived two run-ins with Justin Barcia to take the final podium spot in the eighth round of the 2023 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship Series, with Barcia hanging onto P4, well clear of Jason Anderson.

RJ Hampshire won his Heat race in his 450SX debut, and finished in P8 in the Main Event, behind Justin Cooper (P6) and Ken Roczen (P7). Aaron Plessinger (P9) and Christian Craig rounded out the top 10.
Going into the mid-point round in the 2023 Supercross series at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Tomac has a five-point lead over Webb, who has a five-point cushion ahead of Sexton.
Tomac’s win was his 49th 450SX victory, making him the third-winningest rider in the premier class in Supercross history. Tomac’s next win will put him in a tie for P2 on the all-time list with James Stewart. Jeremy McGrath’s 72 premier class wins remains the standard.Â
