As AMA Pro Motocross visited the West Coast for the third time this season, the Washougal MX National delivered yet another dominant performance for Honda HRC Progressive, in near-ideal weather conditions. Hunter Lawrence captured his fifth premier-class overall victory of the season, while Jett Lawrence secured a solid runner-up finish with 1-2 moto scores. In the 250 class, Chance Hymas continued his positive trend, earning his second podium overall finish in a row.
The opening 450 moto saw Jett emerge from the first couple of corners in first place, while Hunter advanced from fourth to second during the opening lap. Jorge Prado settled into third, and the trio pulled away from the field in the early stages, before the Australian duo established a gap. The Honda HRC Progressive riders maintained their positions until the checkered flag, with Jett earning his seventh moto win of the season, and Hunter following in second.
Jett grabbed the moto 2 holeshot aboard his CRF450RWE, but Hunter took over the lead on the first lap. A brief off-circuit excursion resulted in Jett receiving a one-position penalty for accelerating as he reentered the track. He later had a small crash on the face of a jump but was able to remount before being overtaken. The defending champ mounted a late charge and closed the gap on his older brother before finishing just 1.7 seconds behind at the checkered flag. Hunter secured his fifth overall win of the season and extended his championship lead over Jett.
Meanwhile, Hymas delivered another impressive performance in the 250 class. After starting outside the top five in moto 1, the Idaho native navigated the opening turns well to emerge fourth. He quickly advanced to third, where he remained through the finish. He started inside the top three in moto 2 and battled near the front, briefly moving into second before Cole Davies reclaimed the position. Despite pressure from Carson Mumford, Hymas stayed focused and maintained his pace to secure another podium result, giving him a 3-3 finish (his first dual-moto-podium weekend of the season) and third overall.
