Supercross 2023: Results and points after Daytona

For the fifth consecutive year and seventh time overall, the Monster Energy Supercross results from Daytona featured Eli Tomac as the winner.

After the race, Tomac commented that the dirt used for this track is similar to his home state of Colorado and that has given him his advantage. Of course, Tomac also had to master two different types of sand, a deteriorating wall jump and a tunnel obstacle that has given him trouble on at least two occasions earlier this season.

The tone for the race was set in the first turn as Tomac and Cooper Webb battled for the lead. Tomac earned the holeshot by mere inches, but it was Webb that grabbed the early lead with Tomac in hot pursuit.

At the one-third mark, Tomac took advantage of a minor mistake by Webb to grab the lead, but the pair of riders circled the track within two seconds of one another from start to finish. In the end, the box score showed Tomac was 1.8 seconds ahead of Webb as he earned his fifth consecutive Daytona Supercross win and his seventh in eight attempts.

Tomac gained three points on Webb and now leads by five. His advantage over Chase Sexton increased to 10.

Sexton had to withstand a spirited challenge from Justin Barcia for most of the race. At the halfway point, Barcia’s attempt to ride alongside Sexton ended with the No. 51 getting pushed off course. The crowd gasped, knowing the move would not be forgiven. When Barcia got to Sexton’s back tire, he would not hesitate to make his elbows wide.

Barcia did not get the chance, and it was a mistake by Sexton that actually helped him hold onto the final podium
