ARLINGTON, Texas – Cooper Webb made a late-race pass on Chase Sexton in Race 3 of the Arlington Triple Crown Monster Energy Supercross to create a tie in event points and win Round 7 on the tiebreaker.
Webb’s win in the third race of the night, which gave him a 5-2-1, was what was needed to give him his second victory of the season. “You never know in racing,” Webb told NBC Sports’ Will Christien. “I didn’t put myself in a good position at the start.
I made a mistake of the rhythm section that kind of cost me. The track was really tricky, you couldn’t get caught up if you tried to really push.
It was pretty edgy and slick underneath.” None of the three podium finishers rode perfect races. Webb’s slow start in Race 1 mired him deep in the pack and with a fifth-place finish, he had a lot of ground that needed to be made up.
