Hometown hero Jeremy Martin took his first overall victory of the season, dominating the day with 1-1 finishes in round six of the season at Spring Creek.

As his season continues to be marred by injury, Martin battled hard at his family’s track in Millville, Minnesota to take back-to-back moto wins.

In moto one, Justin Cooper (Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha) grabbed the holeshot with Michael Mosiman (TLD Red Bull GasGas), Max Vohland, and Martin just behind. Points leader Jett Lawrence (Team Honda HRC) got his day started on the wrong foot early, buried in the pack outside of the top 15 early on.

Cooper maintained the lead through most of the moto, but Martin made a push with five minutes to go, catching and passing his teammate, eventually winning by over seven seconds from Cooper, while Mosiman notched his first podium of the season.

Rounding out the top five in the moto were the Lawrence brothers, with Jett recovering to fourth just ahead of older brother Hunter in fifth.

Moto two saw plenty of drama, but there was none at all for Martin, as he grabbed the holeshot and was never challenged. As the race got underway, however, Pierce Brown (TLD Red Bull GasGas) crashed out of fourth, collecting six riders in the process in a massive pile-up, one of them being Jett Lawrence.

At the front, Martin grabbed the victory and the overall, with Mosiman eventually finding his way through on Cooper in the later stages of the race to take second overall on the day.

Cooper’s 2-3 finishes saw him finish third overall on the day, taking the lead in the championship standings in the process. He now leads Jett Lawrence, who finished fourth overall with 4-6 scores, by six points.

Fifth overall went to Hunter Lawrence with 5-5 finishes, after starts held him back from repeating his winning effort from last weekend.

Colt Nichols (Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha) managed sixth overall on the day. The 250SX East champion continues to make progress, notching 7-7 finishes at round six.

An impressive recovery from outside of the top 30 in moto two saw Jo Shimoda (Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki) finish seventh overall with 8-9 finishes, besting teammate Austin Forkner in eighth after his best ride of the season in moto two, going 17-4 on the day.

FXR Chaparral Honda rider Carson Mumford found his way into the top 10 for the first time this season, taking ninth with 14-8 finishes. As Jalek Swoll battled for 12-10 on the scorecard to finish 10th overall.

Cooper now takes over the red plate as the series heads to Washougal for round seven of the championship in Washington next Saturday.
