After a much needed weekend off, the 22SX series heads to St Louis for round 13 inside The Dome at America's Center. Known for its enormous floor space and some of the best dirt for the series, the 450 riders are looking to try and slow down the seemingly unstoppable Tomac Train. After five straight wins and an insurmountable 54 point lead, Eli has set his sights on the record books.
With his 7 trips to the top of the box this 2022 season, he has now pulled into a 4th place tie with Reed at 44. Only MC, James and Ricky stand in front of the blue number 3. At this point, he's making it look rather easy with his newfound starts and unrelenting pace. I can honestly see him finishing off these final five rounds with 5 more wins and moving past Carmichael on the all time list.
Someone else who is making it look awfully easy winning, is the donut kid Jett Lawrence. Please let's stop calling him Rocket Man, Todd Harris. It's terrible. We are seeing a much, much more patient number 18. He's allowing the race to come to him. His riding coach Johnny O definitely sat him down after his wrecking ball night in Arlington.
And lastly, altho this is the third and final Triple Crown round for Monster Energy, this IS NOT a double points paying Dwayne Williams Memorial TC for MXD360. We will have our final one in Atlanta next weekend. So hire accordingly.
Again, RD14 Atlanta is DOUBLE POINTS. It will also be an E/W Showdown. Round 13. St Louis, MO. Four 450 riders. Four 250 riders. $3.5M budget. Good luck!
