ELI TOMAC CLAIMS 50TH CAREER 450SX VICTORY

3 years ago | Words: Matt Bernard | Photos: Yamaha

A barnstorming victory by Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac, has seen him tie the legendary James Stewart on the all-time win list. Stewart and Tomac sit equal second, with 50 career victories. The greatest supercross rider of all time, Jeremy McGrath still tops the all-time win list.

“That was a cool race tonight. The track was cool to race, and there were a lot of options out there. My strong point tonight was the whoops, obviously, so that was fun. It’s cool when there’s a section to make up a whole lot of time like that, and I was able to make some really neat passes. It was an important rebound to get back tied in the points, so it was an awesome night for us.”

Tomac’s strong performance at the Seattle sees the red plate slapped back on his YZ450F, now tied for the championship lead with Cooper Webb.
