Eli Tomac and Hunter Lawrence posted the quickest and second-fastest speeds in the first qualification session at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.
The two riders who share the red plate in Nashville landed on top of the second session board, also, with Tomac (51.408) besting Lawrence Hunter Lawrence (51.572) by .164 seconds. The clock has reset. Each race matters in the sprint to the finale.
The third man in the title fight, Ken Roczen (51.715) was third on the board. Last week, he scored a second consecutive win. If he wins a third time, the points gap will be razor-thin.
Cooper Webb (51.731) cannot afford to lose points this week if he wants to keep his title defense alive. Given the speed of the three riders ahead of him, that puts him in a must-win situation.
Jorge Prado (51.882) rounded out the top five and was the final rider to post a sub-52-second speed.
Malcolm Stewart (52.175) put his bike on the ground in the sand section early in Qualification 2, and he almost wiped out a second time on his next fast lap. He wound up seventh on the combined chart.
Chase Sexton (52.387) was eighth overall.

Tomac (51.595) has insisted he is healthy, but his riding has been subpar for the past few weeks. In the first qualification session, he was back up to speed and topped the chart.
“I think we’re back,” Tomac told Peacock.tv’s Haley Shanley. “It’s great to visit my old Friend, Mr. Hardpack, and put ‘rutcross’ to bed for a weekend.”
Hunter Lawrence (51.604) tied Tomac in points last week in St. Louis, and he nearly matched Tomac’s time. He was 0.010 seconds behind.
Jorge Prado (51.899) continues to impress with his single-lap speed. He was third on the chart.
The third title contender, Ken Roczen (52.036), was near the top of the chart as well. He posted the fourth-quickest time.
Malcolm Stewart (52.340) rounded out the top five.
Chase Sexton (53.186) crashed during the first session and fell outside the top 10.
