🎥 AMA SX Highlights: East Rutherford

Red-plate holder, Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac, went down while leading the penultimate round of the AMA Supercross series on Saturday night at MetLife Stadium, giving championship rival Ryan Dungey the win and the points lead as the series heads into its final round next weekend in Las Vegas.
The Main Event kicked off with Jason Anderson grabbing the holeshot, but his lead was short-lived as he went down on Lap 2. The mishap gave Tomac the lead, but that too was short-lived as Tomac went down and dropped to 15th. Tomac had another mishap later in the race and could only salvage an eighth-place finish.

However, things weren’t smooth sailing for Dungey either as his Red Bull KTM teammate Marvin Musquin passed him for the lead at the halfway point. Dungey would ultimately fight back, passing Musquin on the final lap – the result of either an untimely Musquin mistake or KTM team orders, depending on how you view what has fast become a controversial issue.
Anderson rebounded from his crash to finish third, with a pair of KTM riders, Davi Millsaps and Blake Baggett, rounding out the top five.
Dungey now holds a 9-point lead over Tomac with only Las Vegas left on the schedule.

In the 250 East class, Zach Osborne moved himself up into second in the points with just one round left to go after taking his fourth win of the season. Osborne had won his heat race but got a horrible start in the Main, ending the first lap in seventh position. However, the Husqvarna rider quickly worked his way up through the field and took the race lead from points leader Joey Savatgy at the halfway point.
Savatgy then went down moments later and lost second to Dylan Ferrandis. He would cross the line in third, but it was later determined he failed to re-enter the racetrack at the closest safe point following his crash. The AMA levied a five-position penalty to Savatgy, dropping him back to eighth.

KTM’s Jordon Smith, who took the chequers in fourth, was rewarded with a third-place finish following Savatgy’s penalty and now holds the championship lead for the first time in career. Savatgy and Osborne will enter Las Vegas just one point back from the KTM rider, which will sure set the stage for a captivating series decider.
