I feel so lucky to watch this era of racing with Tomac crushing it. I was too young to enjoy RC and JS7 in their prime, but this feels just as good.

Really didn’t think Tomac would be able to win tonight, especially after that first practice but he sure turned it on when it counted. Dudes just a beast at Daytona, it’s pretty awesome to see.

Big difference between taking someone down in a turn and cross jumping/landing on them. Sexton just turns his brain off.

For Webb to keep Tomac close all race is impressive especially at Daytona. I’ve been a huge Webb fan since he was on the 150r. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the season, I think a red plate on Webb’s bike is in the near future

Do you suppose that when they were on their bikes talking after the race, Sexton said "that's just how I race" or whatever Dip Shits quote was?

Top shelf journalism. I'm guessing the first question to Eli will be "How much fun are you having this season? "

I thought the commentators and production was on point tonight. Should be these three in the booth every race. 

I enjoy the broadcast every Saturday and the commentators never bother me - I did notice a difference in the broadcast in that RC was deferring to James much more than he would if it was the standard two man team in the booth. I do think two retired AMA champs is the ticket for the broadcast booth

What great 450 racing.

Tomac once again.   Legend.

Really thought Coop was gonna get it this time.     Loved the respect he showed in the post race.

Chase faded like spinach hitting a hot pan tonight.  He made a ton of mistakes.   Barcia almost had him.

The performance by Webb and Tomac tonight was incredible. Exactly what you'd expect from two champions. Damn they were hauling ass. I can see this championship battle going down to the wire between those two.

I can't believe Tomac tied Richard Petty for the most wins. If only Petty hadn't cased that triple one year, he would still be ahead.

They really need to just combine the 250s already, it's laughable how weak that field is. Thrasher was on ground twice, dead last two seperate times...

They really need to just combine the 250s already, it's laughable how weak that field is. Thrasher was on ground twice, dead last two seperate times, and still got top 10, 7th place was a full minute back from the leader. Like c'mon, I struggle to even give Haiden credit for getting a podium in this field. 

100% agree.  Or at least 5-6 east west combined races a year.

What they need to do is have some kind of qualifying system and open up 250 to anybody that doesn't qualify for 450. Basically make the 250 class like minor league and 450 major league. Then all the best riders end up in 450 and the rest in 250. This would result in each division having riders much closer in speed, thus creating the most exciting competition for both. It also would allow the most talented to riders to have longer careers, not having to fight for a 450 spot that they may not belong in.

I think cooper should have kept skimming the whoops after Tomac passed him. It looked way faster. 

Yeah I agree with that, so did James Stewart. 

Maybe they got sketchy and so jumping was the safer option.

It was funny at first though to see Coop & his KTM skimming them and Eli & Chase behind jumping them.Laughing

If those guys are certain that Chase has signed with KTM, all efforts will go toward Jett so that number 1 plate doesn't end up sitting on a KTM next year. HRC will subtly make it difficult for Chase. 

*This is of course UNLESS Jett is out of championship contention & Chase is still in it.

Hunter blamed his crash at the start of race 3 @ Arlington on the star riders because apparently other riders aren't allowed to be in the same vicinity as him, and remember when he had an all-out tantrum on Stilez at Southwick in moto last Summer? Yeah, he's totally a non-complainer

Didn’t he lose parts of his teeth in that initial crash?

and any word from #94.....did they tried something different with suspension between heat race and main event 

D. Blair didn't even call his name on the result board.... over jumped him after J. Cooper went straight to Hampshire.

Bro he is an Aussie. Have ever had had an Aussie race over here that wasn't a crybaby? Reed lost his shit about f'n tablecloths. Can imagine if someone stole 2 dozen of Jett's donuts? A complete meltdown would be incoming. 😂
