AP maybe? Not sure his exact injury, I think maybe bruised up still from East Rutherford. He has to be thinking this is his best shot at a win besides the one he crashed out of late. 

Chase will probably be cruising, but that may be enough for a win with his speed. He would probably love to end the season with a win and further prove that he wasn't "handed" the championship like some have said.

AC with a win could you imagine how awesome that would be.

Kenny seems most likely to win this weekend though, he had a first turn crash and ended up second last week.

Doesn't even matter, in either class. I'm traveling to SLC from San Diego to go to the race, and I've never been less excited to go to supercross....

Im probably not going to go. What’s the point?  I always wait until the last minute to buy tickets, and this year I’m glad I did.

Last round of SX may be the only time its worth it to get ticket insurance haha. 

Could be only a couple of big names guys racing or a championship comes down to the final race, certainly a gamble.

Will still be a great day.  Weather looks perfect, futures, east/west shootout etc.  Yeah, would be great if the title was down to this race, but had Eli not gotten hurt it wouldn't be anyway......and watching some of the best guys in the world rip dirt bikes all day sounds good to me.

All the best guys in the world are out....It's the AC, CS23, and KR show. That's it. 

It's a play date for the Lawrence brothers. RJ won't even be racing hard. 

It's going to be a fucking snore fest. Straight up.

At this point Sexton can win 450 mains in his sleep against this field with who is left.

He could fall over every lap and still get first. lol In fact, that'd be far more entertaining than what's going to actually happen.

I wish Honda would give the fans a present and have the Lawrence brothers race the 450s for the final round.

^^ As cool as that would be, unless they have been doing SX testing on a 450, its a terrible idea.

Chase….going away with ease…to shut up all you asterisk talking motherfuckers. The first man across the finish line wins. Motocross takes a combination of strength, skill, stamina, luck and serious PERSEVERANCE!  Chase had the right combination. There are no asterisks in Motocross.

Get the tears off your keyboard before it shorts out. We'd hate for you not to be able to reply..

What a bizarre reply! What are you implying? You sound angry that Tomac is out and that I don’t think Chase deserves an asterisk next to his name in the record book.  I accept that; no tears.

Jett Will win it... If he's in it.

Jett will probably race the 250 class and try to get one last win, an E/W shootout, no less, before he moves up to the 450 class full-time. 

Roczen or Cianciarulo FTW. I'd love to see Adam win one.

Jett could just race a 250 in the premier class if he wanted to I guess. Would be unique at least.

Who cares.   Worst ending to a season I can ever remember.

 

What a horrible way to win a championship....top two guys going out in fluke injuries....the guy 18 points down inherits.

 

"In it to win it".....whatever floats your boat to make it easier to swallow.

 

Bring on the hate.

Do both the Lawrence's get to wear their #1 plates this weekend?

That would be a great opportunity for Honda.

I'm sure it's not what Chase envisioned for his first big bike title but he's still a worthy champion.

I like Chase.   ...and I feel bad for him that he's going to win this way.  

He is an amazing talent.       BUT....he was on the ground all year round and jumped on a red cross flag.   He was 18 points down for a reason.   This was not his year. 

The 2 title contenders (Webb/Eli) going out like they did will forever be a black cloud (*) over this season championship.

I don't believe in asterisk championships . Whoever has the most points at the end is deserving no matter the circumstances.  Or whomever .... falcon needs to chime in . Smile

I think its a disservice to the guys that ARE racing and to the guy that will win the title!

I for one, am DAMN thankful that I have my health and I am able to travel, damn thankful that I have the disposable income to be able to afford to travel half way across the country for such an event and DAMN respectful of the talent, tenacity and determination it takes to pursue the dream of being an AMA pro and make the mains at a National event! 

I am sad for Eli and bummed that he will not be racing this weekend! It sucks and its awful that Cooper, Malcolm, Marvin and many others are out with injuries… BUT I will go and I will cheer my ass off for Chase Sexton, he stayed in the fight and now the title could be his regardless of what or how the chips fell, and I will CHEER MY ASS OFF for every goddamn Privateer on the track this weekend because those guys are the heart and soul of this sport! I sincerely appreciate their fortitude and their talent and I know that even in my youthful best days long gone by, I never had the skillset to make a single lap around a pro level SX track and not DIE, and I will show up, enjoy the last SX of the year and give a heartfelt salute to each and every racer out on the track whether they’re running a single, double or three digit number on their bike! Every single rider out on that track this weekend is a certified Bad-Ass!

😎 👍❗️

So Chase hits the deck and loses points and "this was not his year", but others hit the deck and lose points and now there is a black cloud over the championship? Solid logic.

The only reason you were going was too see Eli and Chase battle it out? With your logic no one should go to any races until the last couple rounds..

Go because you love to see dirt bikes race..because of the smell of race gas. The sound of a bike ripping off a triple.
