Foxboro 2024
RD 13 | Gillette Stadium
The only New England market to ever host a Supercross, Foxborough’s sport history dates back to 1983 but the events have been mostly sporadic in schedule appearance. Named after Charles James Fox, a British statesman who supported the colonies’ desire for independence, Foxborough (or, Foxboro, before it was incorporated in June, 1778) is the “gem of Norfolk County.
“You just gotta jacket off sometimes.” Cooper Webb won not only his 25th career 450SX main event, but also the press conference with a walk off response to why he was the only rider on the starting line pre-main event NOT wearing a jacket.
He left Foxborough as a co-red plate owner, the 5th different 450SX rider to wear it. It was a start to finish win for Webb. The 20 laps he led in Foxborough doubled the number of laps he’d led all season.
Chase Sexton (2nd) came close to passing Webb several times. Webb’s win margins over Sexton this season added up to just 1.69 seconds. Jett Lawrence ended the first lap in 12th and finished 5th. He’s now lost five or more points three races in a row and goes to Nashville tied with Webb in points.
Haiden Deegan holeshot and controlled every lap of the main event, his second career 250SX victory (first wire to wire). He moved from fourth to third in the championship standings (-13 to Cameron McAdoo). McAdoo left Gillette Stadium with another second place finish and a four point lead over Tom Vialle.
