450SX
Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac, came from behind in Daytona to capture his fifth Monster Energy Supercross victory of the season, closing the championship gap to Red Bull KTM’s Ryan Dungey to just 17 points. Tomac mounted a charge just before the halfway mark before initiating the pass on HRC Honda fill-in rider Jeremy Martin (stepping up from the 250 class) on Lap 11. He then set sail, taking his second consecutive Daytona SX win by over 17 seconds. Rockstar Husqvarna mounted Jason Anderson rebounded from a ninth-place start to score his second podium of the season.
Behind the top three, fans witnessed a huge comeback ride out of 2015 Daytona champion Ryan Dungey. After starting 17th, Dungey picked apart the field one lap at a time. He cracked the top 10 at the halfway mark, passed Chad Reed for fifth on Lap 17 and worked past Cole Seely on the final turn to finish fourth. The reigning champion still has not finished worse than fourth since April 2014.
