Jett Lawrence continued his early domination of the 2023 AMA Pro Motocross National Championship Series with a pair of uncontested moto wins at the Hangtown Motocross Classic. Two rounds into the 11-round series, Lawrence has a perfect 100-point total in the standing. Dylan Ferrandis went 2-3 under the scorching sun, moving into P2 in the standings, 18 points behind Lawrence. Cooper Webb’s 4-2 performance rounded out the podium, moving Webb into P3 in the standings, eight points behind Ferrandis. Last week’s runner-up Chase Sexton was out with a concussion and mononucleosis, dropping him to P8in the standings, 56 points behind Lawrence.
In the first moto, Lawrence took an early lead and managed it until the checkered flag, winning by just over four seconds. Ferrandis and Aaron Plessinger were locked in a ferocious battle, with Ferrandis holding off Plessinger for nearly the entire moto. Webb took P4, a distant 30 seconds behind Plessinger, with Adam Cianciarulo another 20 seconds behind Webb.

Lawrence grabbed the moto 2 holeshot and was never tested, again managing a five-second lead through most of the race. Plessinger challenged Webb for P2, finally getting by at the halfway point in the 16-lap race. However, on lap 13, Plessinger went down, breaking a clutch lever. That promoted Webb back to P2 and Ferrandis onto the moto 2 podium. Plessinger remounted in P6, where he finished. Cianciarulo took over P4 after Plessinger’s mishap, with José Butron scoring his first top 5 of the season.
