MECHANICSVILLE, Maryland: Hunter Lawrence earned the Moto 2 holeshot and led his brother Jett Lawrence through 30 minutes plus two laps of competition to win the race, but after finishing third in the first moto, he handed the overall to Jett.
Jett won Moto 1 and with the five-point separation from first to third, Jett scored his 10th overall victory of the season.
“It honestly feels really good,” Jett said. “Hunter pit me on the holeshot, dammit, but he rode well that one. Happy with the season. Beggars can’t be choosers, (but) I’d love to have that third championship.”
A thumb injury last year while he was leading in the points denied him the 2024 championship.
This is the 10th time the brothers have finished 1-2 and the second time Hunter prevailed.
Hunter was second in the championship race by two points.
“That was cool; what a good way to end the season,” Hunter said. “I’m happy with that. Stoked for the team.”
Justin Cooper finished third overall with results of second and fourth.
RJ Hampshire stood on the bottom box of the podium in Moto 2. Combined with his third-place finish in Moto 1, he was scored fourth overall.
Justin Barcia rounded out the top five with an eighth in Moto 1 and a fifth in Moto 2.
