For the second time in four rounds, Honda HRC Progressive rider Hunter Lawrence rode to convincing 1-1 moto scores in the premier class, earning a dominant overall win at the High Point National in Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania.

The performance moved him to within two championship points of fellow CRF450RWE rider Jett Lawrence, who was second in both races this weekend at the “Country Club of Motocross.” Between them, the brothers and teammates have topped all eight motos campaigned thus far, in addition to taking six holeshots and—incredibly—leading every lap except one.

“You always show up and try to do your best,” Hunter Lawrence said. “And this weekend I wanted to go back to base. That was what I was after, and it gave me the feedback, connectivity and trust that I needed—I was happy with that. Me and Jett are two from two against each other in the first four rounds. I really wanted to kind of stop the momentum. I feel like in Thunder Valley, my riding and speed were good enough to win; I ended up having some very uncharacteristic crashes throughout the day that were just frustrating because I don’t make those mistakes normally. Now I have another goal for the next four rounds. The work doesn’t stop.”

Hunter grabbed both 450 holeshots and controlled both races from start to finish. After managing early pressure in each moto, the Australian steadily pulled away from the field, building commanding advantages before relaxing the pace in the later laps.

Meanwhile, Jett showed impressive speed throughout the day, beginning with taking the fastest qualifying time. He battled forward from an 11th-place moto-1 start to secure second within five laps and maintain the position to the checkered flag. Moto 2 saw the defending champ narrowly lose the holeshot to Hunter and challenge for the lead early on. Even after losing touch, Jett stayed well ahead of the rest of the field before relaxing near the end, securing another second-place moto finish and second overall.

“Hunter got one back on me today,” Jett Lawrence said. “But it's really cool, us brothers going back-and-forth winning. My ankle didn’t hurt; it was more just the riding ability—I can’t use it that much. I’d love to be using both of my legs, but today it had to be a lot more on my arms, which made it a little bit difficult. But it’s still getting better and better. It’s about trying to be smooth and working with the track. Obviously, today I wasn’t as good, but it was still good enough to go 2-2. Hunter was just riding really well—it doesn’t happen very often that someone kind of pulls away, but I just didn’t feel good on the track all day. I tried taking some of his lines, and he still gapped me. I was like, Today’s not my day, so I just kind of cruised. We’re looking forward to this off-weekend, doing some testing, relaxing a little bit, then coming back to Redbud.”
