Last night while keeping a close eye on El Hombre...it also enabled me to see & follow Benny thru the entire Main. Why? Because, he was the guy RIGHT BEHIND Jason! I recall
It was awesome. Benny was riding really, really well and seemed to have a pretty good grasp of how to get his Factory Edition to hook up on the slick stuff.
I’m thinking that he’s still not quite “100%” healed or rehabbed from his early season mid-haps & that leads me to believe there’s more speed to come.
Stoked for the young gun from the mid-west.

He'll do some damage outdoors.

he was riding great last night. kid must be in shape to move that frame around that much.
Benny IS that good.
From what I saw on a ridiculous sand track practice, Benny will make noise in the outdoors. Benny's light shines very bright.
Coming into this season, he's only ridden in 9 supercrosses. 250 & 450 combined.
I can't wait to see him outdoors, especially at Unadilla.
Give that guy another 2 years and holy smokes, he might very well be podium material on a weekly basis.
His Vegas result is even more impressive knowing he's been riding and training for the outdoors prior to the race, not SX.
Congrats Benny!
As an honest-to-goodness privateer, he raced 250s in the East his 1st season. Then he got picked up for a few rounds by Rock River...I believe we're talking 2016. Yup. 2016...he rode for RR for a few rounds (I think he rode 3 rounds on his bike and 3 rounds on theirs...?). The RR ride was a "replacement rider gig that ended before the sreies was over.
During that same year he got picked up by Forrest at Butler Bros MX (RockyMT-ATV-MC KTM) to ride the last few SX races: he rode Foxborough, New Jersey and Vegas.It was a VERY stressful year...all the while...the guy went out there and EARNED POINTS and made mains on his own bike, Rock River's bike AND ON A KTM 450!
Then he went outdoors to The Nationals with BBMX and took 6th in the series...I believe he got the Rookie Award for that, too.
