Tomac Catching 22/Ironman/Himself: Eli Tomac nailed his 43rd career 450SX Class win which brings him one win away from Chad Reed for fourth on the all-time 450SX Class wins list. Tomac’s 81st career 450SX Class podium tied him with Mike LaRocco for fifth all-time on the podiums list. He could tie his career best win streak that he set in 2017 (five straight, Rounds 9-13) now that he has won four straight.

Barcia Catching L-Ward/Red Dog/Himself: Justin Barcia finished a dramatic second in Indy but would be fined points in the Championship Standings due to an incident with Jason Anderson. His podium stands, it’s his 25th in the 450SX Class, and he is now tied with Larry Ward for 31st all-time on the list. His 96th top-10 moves him one away from top-20 all-time where Tim Ferry sits. One more podium in-a-row for Barcia and he would tie his career best three race podium streak that he set in 2014 (Rounds 12-14).

More Legends Matched (Musquin Edition): Marvin Musquin finished third in Indy and now has 46 450SX Class podiums, passing Cooper Webb for 14th on the all-time list. His 57th top-five finish ties him with Bob Hannah for 22nd all-time and his 83rd top-10 ties him with Broc Glover and Rick Johnson.

Meshey/Lane/Breece: These riders did not tie Reed, LaRocco, or other aforementioned legends on any all-time charts with their finishes in Indy. These riders did however manage to pull off incredible performances that went well beyond expectations. After missing the Main Event for six straight rounds in the LCQ Tristan Lane finally made his first 450SX Class main and finished 17th. Scott Meshey, riding a 250F in the 450SX Class, made the Main Event after not qualifying for a night show in his first three attempts and losing in the LCQ in the previous round. Ryan Breece became the 261st rider to earn a 450SX Class top-10 finish with his 10th place ride in his 28th career 450SX Class race.

History Lesson: The first 450SX Class race held in Seattle was on February 18, 1978 in the Kingdome. It was the season opener and Jimmy Ellis won the race on a Honda in what would be his one and only win of the season. Bob Hannah would go onto win the title after finishing third in the Seattle opener.

King’s History: From 1978-1989 the Seattle Kingdome held a Supercross race in back-to-back nights. Overall, the Kingdome hosted a Supercross race 33 times and for 22 straight seasons from 1978-1999 before being demolished in 2000. Lumen Field, then named Seahawks Stadium, was built in 2002 and took over hosting the Seattle Supercross in 2005, six years after the last Kingdome race. James Stewart won the first three races in Seahawks Stadium from 2005-2007.

Lumen Field: Since Lumen Field took over hosting Seattle Supercross the series visited from 2005-2014 & 2017-2019. After 33 races in the Kingdome and 13 in Lumen Field, 2022 will be the 47th edition of the Seattle Supercross.

Champion Odds: In 13 seasons of racing in Lumen Field only twice has the winner went onto win the Championship (2007 James Stewart and 2014 Ryan Villopoto).

Never Can Be Matched: Nathan Ramsey won the last 250SX Class race at the Kingdome in 1999 on a Kawasaki and then six years later won the first 250SX Class race at Lumen Field on a KTM. He is the only rider to win in both venues in the 250SX Class. Kevin Windham is the only other rider to have a win in both venues as he won at the Kingdome in the 250SX Class and won at Lumen Field twice in the 450SX Class.

Champion Odds: In 17/33 250SX Class races held in Seattle the winner went onto win the Western Regional 250SX Class title. In Lumen Field specifically it is 6/13, including Aaron Plessinger and Dylan Ferrandis in 2018-2019.
