450 OVERALL QUALIFYING RESULTS // 2023 NASHVILLE SUPERCROSS

Only two rounds remain in the 2023 Supercross season and only two riders are within reason of claiming the title. Eli Tomac leads the championship with 18 points on Chase Sexton but that doesn’t mean Chase is out of the picture for the championship. After the major plot twists that we witnessed at Nashville (Cooper Webb and Justin Barcia biting the dust) just about anything is expected in the championship fight. But before any of the racing nonsense, we have to find out who’s quickest on the Denver soil, so scroll down below to find out and stay tuned to Motocross Action for all the action LIVE.

450 OVERALL QUALIFYING RESULTS

Ken Roczen would be the second fastest qualifier in the 450 class, but almost half a second slower than Chase Sexton.

The second session for the premier class commenced with Eli Tomac eventually setting the fastest pace with Ken Roczen in second. The track was still forming hard-packed but as the track dried out, it appeared a lot better than earlier in the day. Eventually Chase Sexton did catch Eli’s time to obtain the first place position but still wasn’t as fast as his 250 teammate Jett Lawrence.

Chase Sexton is your fastest rider in the 450 class, but the second fastest rider in Denver. His teammate, Jett Lawrence, beat his time in the 250 class.

450 GROUP A FIRST SESSION

Chase Sexton was the fastest guy again (who would’ve guessed).

Qualifying for the 450 class commenced and Chase Sexton would rise to the top as usual. Adam Cianciarulo would also have another good qualifying session sitting up in second with the points leader Eli Tomac sitting in third. However, just as the qualifying session came to a close, Eli would pass Adam for second. Colt Nichols and Ken Roczen would round out the top five in qualifying.
