Round nine of the 2026 AMA Supercross Championship delivered an intense night of racing inside Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, where a deeply rutted and technical track created constant challenges and several crashes throughout the evening.
In the premier 450SX class, Hunter Lawrence (Honda HRC) emerged victorious in the second Triple Crown of the season after a decisive win in the final race. Meanwhile in the 250SX East division, Cole Davies (Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha) delivered a flawless performance, sweeping all three races to claim the overall win and the championship lead.
450SX: Big win for Hunter Lawrence
Hunter Lawrence claimed his second victory of the season with consistent finishes of 2-4-1, edging Eli Tomac (Red Bull KTM) in the overall standings of the Triple Crown. Tomac was equally competitive with 2-3-5, tying Lawrence on points for the night, but the Australian secured the win thanks to his triumph in the final race.
Defending champion Cooper Webb (Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha) completed the podium with a steady 4-3-4, while teammate Justin Cooper finished fourth overall after winning Race 2 but lacking consistency (5-1-5). Ken Roczen (HEP Suzuki) opened the night with a win in Race 1, but a heavy crash in the second race ended his chances of fighting for the overall victory.
With the result, Lawrence extends his championship lead to four points over Tomac, while Webb now sits 25 points behind the leader.
