Gillette Stadium, situated in Foxborough, Mass., is renowned for its role as the home turf of the New England Patriots. This weekend, the stadium once again became a hub of excitement as it played host to Round 13 of Monster Energy AMA Supercross. Drawing in fans from across the region, the stadium's top-notch amenities, vibrant atmosphere and roofless exposure, set the stage for an action packed supercross venue.
After consistent rainfall and wind swept through Massachusetts on Thursday and Friday, Monster Energy®/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki riders McAdoo and Hammaker started the day off strong on the muddy track by qualifying second and fourth fastest overall. As the wind picked up and more unpredicted rainfall, the track became more challenging as the night progressed. Heading into the heat race, Hammaker secured a third place start, and maintained his position consistently through the race. McAdoo had a subpar start, resulting in him needing to race his way forward from the seventh position. Hammaker battled in the third and fourth position, eventually finishing third in the heat race. McAdoo progressively fought his way through the competition, soon making his way up to second place where he would finish. In the 250SX Main Event, Hammaker would secure a second place start until a mistake in the whoops sent him off the bike. Hammaker slowly remounted, but suffered a shoulder injury and was unable to continue the remainder of the race. McAdoo would have another subpar start, with another seventh place around the first turn. McAdoo would eventually battle his way into the Top 3, overtaking second by halfway. With the leader in sight and the points championship on his mind, McAdoo would maintain his pace and finish second overall, extending his points lead.
In the 250SX Futures Class, Adams started off the weekend qualifying first overall. In the Main Event, Adams had a flawless start on his KX™250 to capture the holeshot. Adams quickly gapped his opponents and secured a three-second lead by the second lap. Adams maintained his pace and took home the win by 12 seconds, claiming his third consecutive 250SX Futures Main Event win.
In the 450SX Class, Anderson and Cianciarulo kicked off the day qualifying seventh and 12th, respectively. In Heat 1, Cianciarulo struggled on the start crossing the holeshot line in 10th. The No. 9 quickly made his way through the pack into the seventh position where he would finish. In Heat 2, Anderson claimed a second-place start trailing close behind the leader. The No. 21 battled through the slick track eventually losing a few positions from small mistakes, finishing fourth overall. In the 450SX Main Event, Anderson secured third place off the start, while Cianciarulo was shuffled back to 18th position. Anderson battled in the Top 3 for most of the race until he made a minor mistake while racing with the reigning champion, Chase Sexton, falling back to fourth place where he would finish just off the podium. Cianciarulo would charge on his KX™450SR, picking up a few positions along the way despite his lingering ankle injury, finishing 15th.
