Cooper Webb Clinches Victory in Closest Finish Yet at Seattle Supercross!

Experienced driver Cooper Webb of Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing emerged victorious at Seattle’s Lumen Field after an exhilarating race. The event, which took place during the 11th round of the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross season, had spectators on the edge of their seats.

The race, held on a challenging track marked by traces of rain, was a true test for the drivers. Chase Sexton showcased an impressive performance, holding onto the lead for much of the race and making a spectacular surge in the final laps. However, Cooper Webb’s determination and experience provided him with the opportunity to stay ahead in the rankings.

Jett Lawrence from Team Honda HRC initially set a strong pace, but a collision with Webb pushed him back. On the other hand, Levi Kitchen seemed to feel right at home in the Western Regional 250SX Class. This young talent from Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki delivered a magnificent performance, Cooper Webb’s triumph once again highlighted that this season has witnessed some of the most fiercely contested battles.

Cooper Webb:“This is probably – we keep saying it every weekend – but by far the gnarliest track I’ve ridden. And it was really tough; we were all trying to push the pace, but you had to watch out for all the changing lines, the ruts, the lappers… I got arm pump pretty bad there at the end and it was just [a matter of] surviving, but I was able to hold on. Chase rode great, obviously made a few mistakes, then I’d make mistakes, and we’d go back and forth so, man, I’m stoked. I just want to give it up to the good Lord, want to give it up to the team; man, we’ve been dealt some adversity and we’re fighting through it, and it just feels amazing to win. It’s crazy, you know, you see Jett do it over and over and you just, you want to get that feeling again… I’m pumped.”
