Even when things go wrong for Jett Lawrence, he finds a way to win. A red flag waved over Moto 2 of the High Point Nationals in Mount Morris waved with seven minutes remaining, two laps after Jett moved into the third position after starting the race ninth. It was also two laps after Jett ran out of tear-offs.
Lightning ended the race and per AMA (American Motorcycle Association) rules, the running order reverted to the previous lap, which meant Hunter Lawrence actually came within one lap of scoring his first overall win. That would have made him only the third rider behind Jett and Chase Sexton to win in the past two seasons.
Eli Tomac won his second moto of the year, but after finishing fifth in Moto 1, he was relegated to third overall.
Podium interviews were canceled because of lightning in the area.
