SX1 Sprint Race 1 | 8 Laps
Justin Hill (Rick Ware Racing) took the win after a strong charge through the opening laps. Mitchell Harrison (BUD Racing Kawasaki) grabbed the holeshot ahead of Star Racing Yamaha duo Vince Friese and Jorge Zaragoza, with Rick Ware Racing teammates Cooper Webb and Hill quickly joining the fight at the front.
Hill moved into the lead on Lap 5 and never looked back, securing the first Sprint Race victory of the season. Harrison fought to hold off Webb for second, but dropped to fourth on the final lap after both Webb and Dean Wilson made their moves, with Wilson completing the pass over the finish-line jump. Christian Craig rounded out the top five.
It was a nightmare start to the season for reigning champion Jason Anderson (PMG Suzuki). After getting buried in the opening laps, Anderson crashed and was forced to retire with a front-end issue.
