It was a charged night at the final event of the 2021 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship when two races determined three class championships in front of a limited-capacity, pod-seated crowd inside Rice-Eccles Stadium. Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb grabbed the final 450SX Class win of the season to wrap up his second Premier Class Championship. Webb’s Red Bull KTM teammate Marvin Musquin finished the race in second and early race leader Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton landed in third. The unique combinedclass finale of the 250SX Class divisions, the Dave Coombs Sr. 250SX East/ West Showdown, was won by Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence; right behind him at the finish, Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Colt Nichols took home the Eastern Regional 250SX Class title and Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Justin Cooper brought home the Western Regional 250SX Class championship.
