Eli Tomac remains a solid contender to defend his 450 title as the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series enters Round 9 and the halfway point of the 2023 season at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Coming off his seventh victory at Daytona International Speedway, Tomac maintained a five-point lead over two-time series champion Cooper Webb.
History favors the series leader after Daytona — the rider first in the standings when leaving the World Center of Racing has won the championship more than 75 percent of the time.
A rider who wins more than five times has won the championship in 42 of 49 Supercross seasons, and Tomac has five victories with nine rounds left (Webb has won twice; and Chase Sexton has one win).
