Another race and a new winner in the AMA 250SX, with Nate Thrasher coming out on top against the competition in San Diego. The Yamaha rider was the most lucid in the final part of the race and made the best decisions to debut as a winner in 2024. Jordon Smith maintains the lead in the championship.
RJ Hampshire was the holeshot winner in the main event of the night, with Ryder DiFrancesco close behind, but Levi Kitchen quickly moved up to second place, with Mitchell Oldenburg in third and Jordon Smith in fourth.
Oldenburg was first overtaken by Smith and then by Garrett Marchbanks, but it was Kitchen in the lead who was battling with Hampshire for the lead, while Nate Thrasher was steadily making his way up, fighting with Smith for fourth place.
Kitchen was in second place but crashed and suddenly the fight was for second place. Marchbanks was making progress and took the lead roughly halfway through the race, with Thrasher joining the front trio.
As the front riders caught up with the slower riders, Thrasher took advantage of this and moved into the lead. Marchbanks was second and Hampshire was third.
Hampshire, who was in third place, saw his chances disappear as he crashed dramatically on the last lap, without getting hurt, but Smith took advantage.
So the victory went to Thrasher, with Marchbanks in second and Smith in third.
