Chase Sexton had a puzzling night at Houston 2-9-6 for fifth overall than encompassed just about everything; blazing speed in moments, bad starts and a fall to leave the Kawasaki rider frustated and Sexton looking at more changes to the bike.
Sexton said: “Tonight was tough. The first race was solid, and I felt like I was right where I needed to be, but the second race made things harder with the start, and I had to work my way forward and be smart about it. Going into the third race, it was about salvaging the best overall result possible and staying consistent. The speed is there, and I know we’re close. The team never stopped pushing, and we’ll learn more about the bike and apply it moving forward.”
Chase is fourth in the championship 14 points off points leader, Tomac, so all is not lost. Will more bike changes lead to another win next weekend? Sexton and Kawasaki will hope so!
