With the two 2023 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship Series leaders struggling, Chase Sexton rode to a dominating win at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Justin Barcia finished in P2, his third podium performance in a row, seven seconds behind Sexton and four seconds clear of Ken Roczen. Cooper Webb, who came into the Atlanta Supercross trailing series leader and defending champion Eli Tomac by seven points, finished in P4, one spot ahead of Tomac.
After Roczen grabbed the holeshot, Sexton took the lead before a lap was finished and was never challenged. Roczen held onto P2 until lap 9 (of 15) on the sprawling track when he was passed by Barcia. Webb could only move up one spot from his P5 start, while Tomac advanced just two positions from his P7 opening lap. Jason Anderson was in P3 after the first lap after winning his Heat, but faded quickly in the sunny heat, pulling off the track after nine laps.
Sexton’s win brings him back into title contention, trailing leading Tomac by 17 points with five rounds remaining. Barcia moves into P4 in the standings, one point ahead of Roczen, and 36 points shy of Sexton.
