Cooper Webb showed he’s not scared to push Jett Lawrence around after putting him in the tuff blocks on lap one of the Detroit main event!
But, despite the early aggression it was not Webb’s night as he struggled to seventh with Jett climbing through the field to third – but the move did mean Jett was too far back to challenge for the win.
Webb commented: “Webb said: “No excuses. Rode like 💩 in Glendale for P7. Looking forward to some of my favorite rounds after the off weekend 👊🏽”
Lawrence said of the incident: “You just had to kind of be patient and kind of not push anything. So, I think that kind of got set in my mind with like the small little hiccups with the instance with kind of Coop [Webb] pushing me off the track and then trying to get around [Vince] Friese. It’s kind of like, I know in my head, I was just a lot more calm in this situation.
“I’m not the fastest on this type of [dirt] condition. So just kind of take it how it is, just find a way around this person, then just try and go to the next”.
“But I think it’s just the whole kind of attitude that I was going into the race with, how the soil was, kind of just being patient, not trying to push too much and push the limits. Stay in the track limits and just hit your marks.
“I think that kinda got me in that mindset of being “Alright, whatever kinda gets thrown at me just deal with it calmly and just keep moving forward.”
The rest of the series should provide some good racing and more battles.
