Hunter Lawrence: “Anything can happen, so I just focused on myself. I tried to get around the first turn the best I could and then just ride my own race. I haven’t felt great all week [physically], so it feels great to get this done.”
Jorge Prado: “My start was good [and] my riding was good most of the time. In those last 10 minutes I struggle and have a hard time with the lappers. I need to be better at that. Hopefully we can get a moto win before the season ends.”
Haiden Deegan: “I was chasing BamBam [Barcia] for so long and overheated my bike. I’m still happy with the day. We’re making improvements each week, and I just want to keep putting in the work. On to the next one.”
Jett Lawrence: “It’s going to be exciting [next weekend]. [Hunter and I] have been going back and forth with the red plate. Now it’s one point and winner-take-all at the next one. I need to get better on the starts; those have been terrible. If I can fix that, I think we’ll be in good shape.”

Chance Hymas: “I feel like you get a flash of all the hard times. It feels amazing to get back to this point. I owe so much to my team for their support of me and everything they’ve done to get us here. Holeshot, wire-to-wire, it doesn’t get any better than that.”
Cole Davies: “It’s not over 'til it's over. I just need to focus on getting two good starts next weekend and see how it plays out. Another good day and we’ll try to do it again next weekend.”
Landen Gordon: “I’ve been putting in good days during the week recently and was able to bring it into the weekend. I finally did it. This is unreal. Outdoors is tough, so I’m stoked.”
Levi Kitchen: “I just need to treat this like any other weekend and put this behind me. It’s hard to do, but it is what it is. One mistake can have a massive impact, which is tough, but all I can do is give it everything I’ve got next weekend and see what happens.”
