In 2016, a young rookie named Cooper Webb won the East Coast 250cc round in Arlington and as an experience racer, has added wins on the 450 in 2019, 2021 (three times), 2023 and is the defending Arlington winner, having won for the seventh time in 2024.

Yes, if anyone is the favourite to win this weekend, its the two time AMA supercross champion on the Star Racing Yamaha machine. Webb is a monster when it comes to attacking a rival, we saw it with Ken Roczen last weekend and we just know that he will relish the chance to do it again this weekend in Arlington against all his rivals.

"I felt like I ended the West Coast swing really good, but as we know, I definitely love going east and I feel like that's where I tend to shine. They're harder to get as we get along in our careers, so man, it was an awesome race (with Roczen)".

"These two (Roczen and Sexton) were riding great all day, so I know I had to put myself in a good position in the main event and I was able to do that, make some quick passes. I knew Kenny was on, so it was tough, man. We were playing cat and mouse, he would get me one lap, I'd get him the next.

With a share of the series red plate, and Chase Sexton known for blowing it under pressure, Webb must be building momentum and confidence and it is hard to see his lose this weekend and carry on to win his third AMA supercross championship. Early days, but I got my money on the veteran.

"I felt like it was just kind of a game of who made the first mistake, and I found a good flow there about halfway towards the end and was able to work my way close and able to get the pass. I knew once I got around him though he was going to put up a good fight and I just kind of tried to get away but. He was right there. So great race, great win for me, one of the season, and you to get the red plate and be tied that's a dream come true, it's awesome."
