The night began with an intense sense of anticipation, as Eli Tomac took the lead in from of the home crowd. But in an instant, he lost the points lead and most surely the title after a non-crash injury down one of the track's rhythm lanes.
With Sexton's win tonight, that puts him now in the top spot, and if Eli doesn't return, almost the sure winner of the crown.
Ken Roczen, the seasoned veteran and fan favorite, put up a valiant effort to secure the second spot on the podium.

He gave the crowd a run to remember and kept the pressure on Sexton throughout the race.
