Dean Wilson Earns Top-10 Result at East Rutherford Supercross

• Chance Hymas exits early after crash in 250SX main event
• Cullin Park leads Red Riders in 250SX with fourth-place finish

Round 14 of the AMA Supercross series took place during the day in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where riders were met with warm, overcast weather and a traditional race format. Dean Wilson continued his return to form in the 450SX class, earning a ninth-place finish in just his second appearance with Honda HRC Progressive. In 250SX East competition, Chance Hymas was unfortunately sidelined early by a crash, while Phoenix Racing Honda’s Cullin Park delivered a strong performance to finish fourth and lead the Red Rider effort.

In the 250SX East main event, Hymas suffered a poor start, followed by an early crash that ended his night early, resulting in a DNF. Meanwhile, several Honda-mounted riders turned in impressive performances, led by Park, who earned a fourth-place result after being given a position when the rider ahead was handed a one-position penalty. Storm Lake Honda Buddy Brooks Racing’s Henry Miller continued his strong season with an eighth-place result, followed by Neese Racing-backed Luke Neese in 10^th, TiLube Honda’s Trevor Colip in 11^th, Storm Lake Honda’s Izaih Clark in 12^th, Next Level Redline Oil Hammer Nutrition’s Justin Rodbell in 15^th, and TiLube Honda’s Lance Kobusch in 16^th.

In the 450SX main event, Wilson showed clear progress in his second outing with Honda HRC Progressive despite dealing with a cold, riding consistently to earn a solid ninth-place finish. After a challenging debut the previous week, Wilson looked more comfortable aboard the factory CRF450RWE and delivered a composed performance in the main event. Among the satellite efforts, Phoenix Racing Honda’s Dylan Ferrandis led the Red Rider charge with a strong fifth-place result, followed by Quad Lock Honda Racing’s Shane McElrath and Joey Savatgy in eighth and 11^th, respectively. Valley Motorsports’s Jeremy Hand rounded out the Honda group in 21^st.
