The victory brings with it valuable points as Sexton now sits just nine points back in the title hunt with only one round remaining.

Cooper passed Stewart as the race clock reached zero. The three riders held in tight formation for the final two laps with Justin Cooper earning his third podium of the season.

HAIDEN DEEGAN CLINCHS THE 250SX WEST COAST TITLE

In 250SX Class racing, Haiden Deegan entered the Denver Round with a 17 point lead over teammate Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cole Davies. Davies grabbed the holeshot and looked to have the pace to make it three wins in a row for the rookie. Just before the race’s midpoint Deegan took over second place from Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Michael Mosiman and began to steadily reel in Davies, who would have to finish in fourth or better to force the championship to the final round.

In the final minutes, Deegan reached Davies and put in a few close pass attempts. With two laps remaining Deegan upped the aggression and made a pass that sent Davies over the berm. Davies remounted in fifth place, where he would finish. By the rulebook Deegan clinched the title due to a 25-point lead. Even if Davies wins the final round and Deegan earns zero points, the championship tiebreaker would be the rider with more second place finishes, which is Haiden Deegan.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Julien Beaumer earned the second-place spot in Denver after fighting his way forward from an eighth place start. Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Garrett Marchbanks rounded out the podium, having a similar charge through the pack to recover nicely from his ninth-place start.
