Supercross Triple Crown for Roczen in Glendale


It was a format shake-up at round four of the 2020 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship with the first of three Monster Energy Supercross Triple Crown events that drops the gate three times in each class. Team Honda HRC's Ken Roczen dominated the 450SX Class, earning his second overall win of 2020 with three fast and composed Main Event wins in front of 53,107 fans inside State Farm Stadium.
 
Roczen made the victory almost look easy, leading 38 of 39 total laps raced over the three 12- minute plus one lap Main Events. Just two weeks prior, Roczen's win in St. Louis marked his dramatic return to the top of the podium after nearly three years without a win - his Glendale victory proved that the Honda rider is back and possibly better than ever.
 
Monster Energy Kawasaki's Eli Tomac was nearly as consistent, with 2-2-3 finishes to earn second place and also move into second position in the championship points. Grabbing his second podium of the year, 2018 Monster Energy Supercross champion Jason Anderson of the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team got onto the box with Main Event finishes of fifth, third, and second.
 
The series moves to RingCentral Coliseum in Oakland, California next weekend, February 1st with a return to the standard Heat Race and single Main Event format for each class. The second of three Triple Crowns in 2020 will next take place in Arlington, Texas at AT&T stadium on February 22nd.
