In the 2022 AMA Supercross series first of two 250SX East-West Showdowns, the Lawrence brothers put in an impressive and emotional performance, with Hunter topping the main event.
Hunterās victory moved Honda into a tie with Yamaha for most support-class Supercross wins in Atlanta, with 11. It was also two wins in a row for Hunter, his third 250SX win of the season, and the fourth of his career.
āAny time you win is cool, so East-West is really good.” said Hunter. “Everyone has been hearing about the East-West deal ā whoās going to win, this and that ā but itās not really anything new that you have to change your approach for; you just have to race.”
“I did my best in qualifying, but I live for the night show. I got a good start and took it from there. Jettās on the box as well, which is so awesome for our family ā weāre in the best place weāve ever been. Our work ethic is second to none, and the team we have around us now is unbelievable ā every one of our guys that we work with. Itās cool, and weāre having fun. This is what we train for, and Iām so stoked to pull it off.ā
