Chase Sexton showed speed in qualifying and in the heat race in St. Louis but ultimately ended with another DNF as his tough season continued with two crashes in the main event including an ugly case that shook Sexton up so badly that he had to pull out of the main event.
A sore Sexton said: ““I had a bit of an up and down day here in St. Louis. My speed was good in qualifying. I was pushing for fastest qualifier, but just wasn’t able to get there. In the heat race, I had some issues off the start. I got run in on by a few guys, which caused me to go down. I just pushed until the race was over to get up to third for a better gate pick in the main event. I still didn’t get the start I was looking for in the main event and had some mistakes that set me back. I ultimately had to pull off the track early because I was pretty banged up after my crash and was unable to finish the race.”

With the speed looking like it is improving at least, let’s hope Sexton will be able to line up this weekend in Nashville….and it looks like we will following Sexton’s latest update on IG:
Chase posted: “Decent day going in STL until the main. Apologies to all the Midwest fans that showed up for that performance. I made a dumb error on my part, and just wasn’t riding good in general. I knocked the wind out of myself and had to roll around for a few laps. By that point I was going to be in the way of the leaders and decided I had to call it early. But I’m good to go otherwise 🤙🏼 It’s been a tough go at it this year but I’m going to keep giving it my all! See ya’ll in Nashville!”
