• Respectable result for Idaho native after battling through the pack
• Race affected by late red flag, followed by staggered restart

Although temporarily down to just one rider, Honda HRC Progressive continued its 2025 AMA Supercross campaign this weekend in Detroit, with Chance Hymas representing the team in 250SX East. Despite a red flag with only seven seconds on the clock, followed by a staggered restart, Hymas delivered a solid performance, ultimately securing a sixth-place finish. Meanwhile, Honda’s satellite teams had decent showings across both classes.

The 250SX East Region main event saw Hymas work his way through the field after a mid-pack start. As the clock ticked down, a red flag brought the race to a halt, leading to a staggered restart, and Hymas maintained his position to finish sixth. Meanwhile, after taking the holeshot, Quadlock Honda Racing’s Carson Mumford ran up front early and went on to finish eighth. Storm Lake Honda Buddy Brooks Racing’s Henry Miller rounded out the top 10, with Phoenix Racing Honda’s Cullin Park in 11^th, and TiLube Honda’s Trevor Colip finishing 13th.

With both Jett and Hunter Lawrence sidelined due to injury, Honda HRC Progressive was absent from the 450SX class in Detroit. However, Phoenix Racing Honda’s Dylan Ferrandis led the charge for Honda, securing an eighth-place result. Quadlock Honda Racing’s Shane McElrath and Joey Savatgy were 12^th and 13^th, respectively.

Chance Hymas 10 “Round 2 in Detroit was a step in the right direction. I had a better result in qualifying–another P6 on the night. We had overall improvement with the bike, and I’ll just keep working hard for Daytona.”

Lars Lindstrom Team Manager “T-Baby wasn’t lying when she famously rapped, ‘It’s so cold in the D,’ in her epic music video. I think this weekend’s heroes were our truck drivers, Mike Spraker and Tom Poage, who had everything dialed and gave us the ability to have a smooth race weekend, even with below-freezing temperatures. Chance was solid once again. In a very volatile class, he has been steady and smooth. So far, his start to the season has been according to plan, and we’re super happy with his progress.”
