In front of a crowd of 60,873 fans inside Lucas Oil Stadium, Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, hosted Round 12 and the first of two 250 East-West Showdowns of the season.

Team Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Marvin Musquin returned to the top of the 450SX Class podium for the first time in 11 weeks with his first holeshot of the season, leading all 27 laps in the Main Event.

“I got a great start, you know, I chanced it, I went inside and I got the holeshot so that’s the best feeling,” Musquin said after the win. “That was a weird race but I knew it was gonna be crazy… It’s good to be back on top.”

Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Adam Cianciarulo ran down a second-place finish after starting eighth ahead of Luke Renzland who rounded out the podium with a solid third.

“This is just a blessing to be able to be out here so I’ve got to give it up to the man up above, and I’m doing what I love to do and I’ve got a dream team,” Martin said on the podium. “It was a great race. I got the holeshot, and then I just rode my own race and raced the track … That’s why we put in the time during the week and suffer.”

Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star/Yamaha Racing’s Aaron Plessinger stormed his way to fifth after a 17th place start to hold on to the Western Regional 250SX Class Championship points lead.

The Eastern Regional 250SX Class Championship points leader, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Zach Osborne, suffered a second-to-last place start in 21st and salvaged a seventh-place finish.
