Finishes in second position following rain-soaked night of Supercross in Pennsylvania
The 20-year-old qualified third on the combined 250SX East timesheets in dry conditions at Lincoln Financial Field, before the inclement weather arrived and made for a rain-soaked night program.
Bennick remained consistent in the second 250SX Heat Race, recording a second-place finish onboard his Husqvarna FC 250 Factory Edition.
A mid-field start to the Main Event saw Bennick make a sequence of decisive passes to climb into the top-five during the early stages, running as high as P2 – and challenging for the lead – before a red-flag stoppage prompted a staggered restart.
Bennick would launch to a strong start from there, moving into second place and maintaining the position all the way to the checkered flag, claiming his second podium result of the season and consolidating third in the 250SX East standings with one round in the division remaining.
“Obviously, qualifying started dry here and everything was feeling good,” Bennick reflected. “Then everything changed real quick! I did get some wheel-spin off the start in the Heat Race, but rode really good to come back to second – I was happy with that, and then kind of the same thing happened in the Main Event. I rode really well before the restart and I almost passed for the lead at one stage, but once the restart hit, I was trying a little too hard and made a couple of mistakes. But all-in-all, it's good we're back on the box, so I can't be too mad at it – especially in those conditions!"
450SX teammate Malcolm Stewart posted the eighth-fastest qualifying time in the afternoon, before scoring a P4 finish in the first 450SX Heat Race equipped with his Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition.
The 33-year-old started inside the top 10 for the Main Event and kept pushing forward as the race progressed. He would eventually record a P11 result and continue holding eighth in the championship with two rounds left to contest.
“We struggled a little bit with the track tonight,” said Stewart. “But at the end of the day, it's just good to make it out of this in one piece because those conditions were brutal – we'll keep our heads up and keep progressing forward. We're off to Mile High next weekend, and we've always achieved some pretty good results there, so I'm looking forward to that!"
