With 4 rounds remaining within the 2024 Monster Power AMA Supercross Championship Sequence, Jett Lawrence and Cooper Webb are tied on the high of the standings with 261 factors. Nonetheless, the momentum is transferring in a single course. So, let’s get to our 2024 Nashville Supercross fantasy picks for gamers of RMFantasySX.com fantasy supercross.
- Going into the 4 closing rounds, Jett Lawrence, Cooper Webb, and defending champion Chase Sexton have the identical variety of podiums (seven) and top-five (ten) finishes. The massive distinction is wins—Lawrence has 5, Webb has 4, and Sexton has one. Of the three, solely Webb has a end outdoors of the highest ten. Apparently, each Lawrence and Webb had their worst spherical within the San Franciscan slop—a P9 for Lawrence and a P11 for Webb—the place Sexton gained. Regardless of the disparity, Lawrence and Webb are tied on factors, and Sexton trails by 15 factors.
- Cooper Webb is trying unstoppable. Webb is on a 1-2-1 tear, and has his eye on his third 450SX title. This comes after Lawrence notched three wins in a row. Webb will get the nod for the Nashville win.
- Chase Sexton has been on the rostrum at three of the final 4 rounds. With P2s at two of the earlier three rounds and a boatload of podiums, Sexton is an efficient P2 alternative.
- Along with his blinding velocity, Lawrence is all the time a menace to win however has misplaced his mojo. When Lawrence ripped off three wins in a row, together with a Triple Crown sweep, it regarded just like the rookie would have an unimpeded run to the title. Nonetheless, since then, Lawrence hasn’t gotten a clear race, going 3-8-5. You may go away him off the rostrum in the event you like, however Lawrence nonetheless has as many podiums as any rider, so I’ve him down for P3.
- Ken Roczen is subsequent up, with 5 top-fives in six rounds coming into Nissan Stadium on Saturday night time. Exterior of the highest three riders within the collection, Roczen has extra top-five finishes than anybody else—eight in 14 rounds. That makes him the P4 rider of alternative, as there are not any constant challengers for the spot with Aaron Plessinger sidelined for the remainder of the Supercross season with an elbow harm.
- There are three riders price contemplating for P5—Jason Anderson, Hunter Lawrence, and Eli Tomac. Of the three, solely Anderson has two top-five finishes within the final 4 races. Whereas Supercross reporter Jason Thomas might have famous on-iar the shortage of “respect” for RMFantasySX gamers leaving Tomac outdoors of final weekend’s consensus picks for the highest 5, the arduous actuality is that Tomac has only one top-five outcome (a Triple Crown win) over the earlier 5 rounds. Anderson has seven top-five finishes this yr, in comparison with three for Hunter Lawrence, giving Anderson the P5 nod.
- The Wild Card is P13, and plenty of riders may take that slot. Main the P13 cost are the 2 Beta manufacturing unit riders—Benny Bloss and Colt Nichols. Bloss is on a 14-12-13-12 run, and Nichols has a 13-14-DNQ-15-13 scorecard. Different riders to think about are Adam Cianciarulo (12-12-15-14-22-15), Mitchell Harrison (P14 final outing), Shane McElrath (three P14s and a P12 this yr), and Justin Hill (two P15s and a P14). Nichols’ two P13s in 5 outings are sufficient for me to make him the P13 Wild Card.
- The 2024 Nashville Supercross begins at a well-known time. Begin streaming Peacock at 7 p.m. EDT on Saturday. Race Day Stay fires up at 1:30 p.m. When you’re simply listening, SiriusXM has the night time racing on audio dwell.
