The ninth round of the 2021 AMA Supercross series was also the 51st annual #daytona Supercross at #daytona International Speedway, where Team Honda HRC’s #kenroczen took a heat-race win before charging to a fourth-place finish in the 450SX main #event, while teammate #chasesexton finished eighth in his return from injury. In the 250SX West class, #hunterlawrence also earned a heat-race win (his first) before finishing in sixth in the main #event.
Roczen enjoyed a strong main-event start aboard his CRF450R but was pushed wide in the second turn and lost several positions as a result. The German charged up to fourth place by the third lap but made a mistake in a rhythm section on lap 12 and lost a spot to Malcolm Stewart. Roczen regained the position four laps later and challenged Cooper Webb for third, but he ran out of time before the 18th and final lap. Roczen maintains the lead in the title chase, with a two-point edge on Webb. Meanwhile, Sexton was happy to be back in action after missing the last six rounds with a shoulder injury, but he struggled to re-find his pace. Following a decent main-event start, he lost several positions and settled for eighth place.
In the 250SX West main #event, Lawrence completed the first lap in fourth place but went down in the sand section on lap 2 and slipped back to 10th. The young Australian secured seventh on lap 11 and moved up one more spot on the 14th and final lap.
