Another race and a new winner in 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 championship lead.
RJ Hampshire was the holeshot winner in the main event of the night, with Ryder DiFrancesco right behind, but Levi Kitchen quickly reached 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 fighting with Hampshire for the lead, while Nate Thrasher was steadily catching up with Smith to fight for fourth place.
Kitchen was second but crashed and in an instant the fight was for second place. Marchbanks was on a roll and took the lead with the race roughly halfway through, with Thrasher joining the front trio.
As the front riders caught up with the lapped riders, which culminated in Thrasher taking advantage of this and moving to the front. Marchbanks was second and Hampshire was third.
Hampshire, who saw third place slip away, crashed spectacularly on the last lap, without getting hurt, but Smith took advantage.
So the victory smiled upon Thrasher, with Marchbanks in second and Smith in third.
