AMA Clears Riders After Arlington Race Incidents

AMA has cleared riders after controversial track incidents in both 250 and 450 Supercross races in Arlington, with no penalties issued despite jumping through restricted sections.

In the 250 Main Event, Jo Shimoda lost momentum when a red warning light was illuminated on the final straight, allowing Pierce Brown to take the lead and secure his first Supercross victory. The AMA determined that since no supplementary signals were issued to restrict jumping, riders remained in compliance with rules.

Similarly, in the 450 class, Hunter Lawrence won despite a red cross flag at the finish line jump. Race Direction determined there was no blatant violation as riders had no advanced visual indication before being committed to the jump, resulting in no penalties for any participants.
