2023 Fox Raceway National Motocross Results and Standings

Rookie Jett Lawrence won the opening round of the 2023 AMA Pro Motocross National Championship Series in dominating fashion. Lawrence was the fastest qualifier, grabbed both holeshots, and was never headed as he led every lap of both motos of the 2023 Fox Raceway National. Lawrence’s Team Honda HRC teammate Chase Sexton was the runner-up in both motos. Although Sexton never challenged Lawrence in moto 1, he hounded Lawrence for the second moto from start to finish, though never managing to show Lawrence a wheel.

Dylan Ferrandis went 3-3 to round out the Fox Raceway National podium on his Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha YZ450F, though he was never in the mix for the win. Ferrandis was nearly 17 seconds behind Lawrence in the first moto, and almost 45 seconds back in moto 2.

Filling out the top 5 were Red Bull KTM Factory Racing teammates Aaron Plessinger and Cooper Webb, as they battled over P4 in both motos. Webb defended P4 in moto 1, with Plessinger finishing nearly a minute ahead of P5 Webb in the second moto. Adam Cianciarulo took P6 in moto 1 and recovered to finish in P7 after falling in the second turn of the second moto, putting the Monster Energy Kawasaki rider at the back of the 40-rider field.

The series continues next Saturday at Prairie City SVRA in Rancho Cordova, Calif., with the Hangtown Motocross Classic. Check out our 2023 Pro Motocross Television Schedule for viewing information.
