The 250SX division featured the first East/West Showdown of the season, bringing together top talent from both coasts. Seth Hammaker emerged victorious, leading every lap to secure his second career win. Despite pressure from Tom Vialle in the closing stages, Hammaker maintained composure, eventually extending his lead to five seconds at the checkered flag. 

Tom Vialle secured second place, demonstrating consistent speed throughout the race. Haiden Deegan overcame an off-track excursion into the safety netting to claim third, exemplifying his tenacity and skill.
