Jorge Prado held off Chase Sexton to win the opening heat race in his second supercross ever and admitted he has fulfilled one of his dreams with victory in a supercross stadium – even if it’s just a heat race. To come from zero supercross experience, only see the track for one ten minute session in the mud to holeshot and win against Sexton and Lawrence takes some doing!
Prado, who is now 9th in points after a 13th and 7th in his first two supercross races of his entire life, said: “Last night I fulfilled another dream. I won my first ever Heat and I’m very happy to make history 🇪🇸 🇺🇸 Conditions were tough and despite a bad start in the Main I managed to get back to P.7 🔥 This is being very cool. Thank you guys for the support and all American fans for great welcoming 🙌🏻”
