SX Results
Seth Hammaker
“Overall, it was a solid day. I started strong in qualifying and grabbed P1, which put me in a good position heading into the night. The first two races didn’t go exactly how I planned, especially the second one after I made a mistake in the whoops and crashed, but I was able to come back from last to ninth. I was proud of the way I bounced back in Race 3. I put my head down, made some passes, and got up to second, which helped salvage third overall. It was important for the points, and I’m looking forward to moving into the East/West Showdown in Birmingham after the break.”

“The day started off really well, I was pumped on getting fastest qualifier and backing it up with the heat race win. This was my first time racing at Daytona professionally, and it was cool to experience the whole atmosphere and hear all the fans. I was feeling really good in the main event and just got a bit out of shape in the whoops that led me to crash and injure my thumb. I’m going to get it checked out this week and really hope to be back next weekend in Indy.”
Garrett Marchbanks
“It felt like we were searching for a bit throughout the day in these soft, rutted conditions, but the team and I kept working and making small changes that helped as the day went on. I had a crash in the first race that bent the bike up pretty badly, which made it tough to put consistent laps together. Race 2 was better and I felt more comfortable, but in Race 3 I got caught up in an incident in the first turn and had to fight from way back. The results might not look great on paper, but I’m encouraged by the progress we made. We’ll use the break to reset and come back ready for Birmingham.”
