HOUSTON, Texas – #cooperwebb once again led the Red Bull KTM Factory #racing Team to a 1-2 sweep in the 450SX class with a big victory at Saturday’s #houston SX Triple Crown, Round 13 of the AMA Supercross Championship. With 2-1-3 Main Event finishes, Webb bested his teammate #marvinmusquin (5-3-1) by only three points for the overall win in Texas.

Webb’s eighth-place qualifying position left more to be desired early in the day but he quickly turned things around as he powered his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION into a favorable start position in the first Main Event. He battled for third early on with Musquin, where he eventually made his way into second. In Main Event #2, Webb grabbed the holeshot and immediately put himself out in front of the pack. From there, he never looked back as he led all 16 laps of the race. In Main Event #3, Webb got off to a third-place start, engaging in an intense three-way battle early on. He got into second on lap six and continued to dice back-and-forth before settling into third in the final race. With a consistent string of podium finishes, Webb was able to top the class in the Triple Crown format thus taking home the maximum championship points from Round 12.

Webb: “It was a great night overall with a 2-1-3, and I got a Main Event win, which was cool. Consistency was key to this race – it’s tough to line up for three Main Events and go to battle with the best-of-the-best, so it’s a good night to get the win, I’m stoked on it!”
