Chance Hymas Leads Red Riders With Sixth at Pittsburgh Supercross

  • Dean Wilson secures another top-10 result in 450SX
  • Four Honda riders in the top 10 in 450SX division

Round 15 of the AMA Supercross series took place in Pittsburgh, with Honda HRC Progressive’s Dean Wilson and Chance Hymas delivering respectable performances. Wilson posted another top-10 result in the 450SX class, while Hymas led the Red Rider effort in the 250SX East action with a sixth-place result.

In the 250SX main event, Hymas got a solid jump aboard his factory CRF250RWE and settled into sixth place early on. He quickly advanced a spot and spent a good portion of the race in fifth before slipping back to sixth on lap 13 and finishing out the race there. Phoenix Racing Honda’s Cullin Park continued his strong run with a seventh-place result, followed by Storm Lake Honda Buddy Brooks Racing’s Henry Miller in eighth. Storm Lake Honda’s Izaih Clark crossed the line in 11th, with Next Level Redline Oil Hammer Nutrition’s Justin Rodbell in 13th, TiLube Honda’s Trevor Colip in 14th, SPR’s Lance Kobusch in 16th, and Neese Racing’s Luke Neese completing the group in 22nd.

In the 450SX main event, Phoenix Racing Honda’s Dylan Ferrandis led the way for the Red Riders, riding to a consistent seventh-place finish. Quad Lock Honda Racing teammates Joey Savatgy and Shane McElrath followed close behind in eighth and ninth, respectively. Wilson made it four Hondas in a row, bringing his factory CRF450RWE across the line in 10th. Valley Motorsports’s Jeremy Hand rounded out the Honda effort in 20th.

NOTES

  • Honda HRC Progressive’s Chance Hymas and Dean Wilson were scheduled to participate in Friday’s Media Day activities, but with rain in the forecast, the series organizers covered the track. As a result, no press riding took place, although Wilson still participated in select media interviews.
  • Although Jett and Hunter Lawrence remain sidelined from racing as they recover from surgeries, both are back on the bike training. The brothers attended the Pittsburgh event, where they signed autographs, engaged with fans and supported the team throughout the weekend. Additionally, Hunter stepped into the booth to call the 250SX main event.
  • Mosites Motorsports, a popular powersports dealer with two locations in Pennsylvania, set up a pop-up activation booth in the Honda HRC Progressive pits, where they displayed a Honda Ruckus and a CRF450RWE, and engaged with fans and customers.
  • Honda HRC Progressive was treated to a team dinner at Dee Jay’s BBQ Ribs & Grille – Collier, hosted by longtime friends of the team Jay and Kayla Irvine and John Winter. The restaurant owners have cooked for the team at select rounds over the years, and with Pittsburgh being a local event for them, they welcomed everyone for a special evening of food and hospitality.

Dean Wilson 15

“Overall, tonight was definitely an improvement for me. The result was one spot worse than last week, but I was in a good position for most of the race. There was a rhythm section right after the start that gave me trouble all night, and that’s where I kept getting passed. It was frustrating because once I cleaned it up in the last 10 laps, I was right in the mix. The ball was in sight, and I fought hard the whole way. It was a step forward all around, but I’m not fully satisfied yet. My goal is to break into the top seven, so we’ll keep fighting for it.”

Chance Hymas 10

“It was round 15 here in Pittsburgh, and overall, it was a decent night for me. We did a lot of testing and took some big swings with the bike setup. I ended up sixth in the main, so it’s something to build on going into the final East round. The team and I are working hard to put all the pieces together, and I’m looking forward to finishing strong in Salt Lake City and heading into outdoors.”

Lars Lindstrom

Team Manager

“Since it was the first time since the mid-’80s that we have had a supercross in Pittsburgh, it was new for basically all of us. I’m happy to say that I’m not old enough to have been involved at that time, but I was pleasantly surprised at how cool and beautiful the city was, especially when you drive out of the tunnel and get your first glimpse of it. Our results weren’t quite as beautiful, but they weren’t terrible either. For us, motocross has always been the goal for Chance this season, and I’m excited for that to begin. Dean had a really good day, riding smoother with fewer mistakes than the last two races. He made great passes in the beginning and was basically in a battle with someone for the entire race, and I was really stoked on him in the whoops, blitzing them the entire main event. It’s been a blast having him on the team, and we have probably never laughed harder in the truck then we have recently.”
