Philadelphia, PA Philadelphia Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship
The Philadelphia Supercross provided many storylines throughout race day. Late in the 250SX main event, Pierce Brown was in third place behind Max Anstie and Tom Vialle in his best ride of the season when he got cross-rutted up the face of the finish line jump. He went from the far right of the face of the jump and had to eject off his MC 250F before coming down on the far left side of the landing, in between that section and the whoops. His #39 went cartwheeling into the whoops section but luckily missed hitting any riders coming the opposite direction.
Watch Brown’s crash at the 1:50 mark in the highlights video below.
However, Brown remounted and with his bike in the whoops, he went through the whoops section, last turn, and finish line jump to take the checkered flag. It was incredible to see he was able to get back on his bike after such a hard crash.
Last night, Vurbmoto posted there was an update to the 250SX main event results. Since Brown technically skipped the entire “lap” he started (although doing so unintentionally), the AMA updated the 250SX main event results on Monday night to show Brown in 17th instead of 14th, completing only 17 laps (race winner Anstie did 18). The updated AMA results had the following note on the session:
“#39 – Rider’s 18th lap was incomplete and deemed invalidated”
Below are the updated results and points standings. The adjustment in positions and points now puts Brown in a tie with Coty Schock for third place in the championship.

The AMA also sent out a brief press release addressing the issue:
“Philadelphia AMA Supercross 250SX Main Event Scoring Audit
A routine audit on Monday, April 29, of the timing and scoring of the Philadelphia AMA Supercross 250SX Main Event identified a scoring error in the finishing results. The results have been modified to correct the error.”
Brown was one lap away from his fifth career 250SX main event podium in what has been a solid year. He had finished 5-5-5-4-4-4-11, respectively, with the 11th being at the East/West Showdown last weekend in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GasGas posted the following clip of the crash on Instagram:
1 lap to go for a podium. Man that hurts. Dust ourself off and see you in slc we’re not done yet”
