Team Honda HRC's Ken Roczen took back second place in the AMA Supercross points standings with a picture-perfect ride to victory in the 450SX main event last Sunday. The German started in second but took over the lead on lap four, and that's where he stayed for the remainder of the 29-lap race, establishing a comfortable margin along the way. It was Roczen's fourth premier-class win of the season and the 15th of his career, though it was his first during this seven-race stretch to be held at Salt Lake City's Rice-Eccles Stadium. Roczen has been battling health problems since the return to racing, but he put those issues behind him at round 15. Only two events remain in the series, with round 16 to take place this Wednesday and the finale set for Sunday, June 21.

Denny Hamlin (No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota) led a dominant 138 of the 267 laps to win the Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday. Hamlin ultimately took the lead for good after passing Chase Elliott (No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet) with 29 laps remaining. With his .895-second victory over Elliott and and Ryan Blaney (No. 12 Team Penske Ford), Hamlin became the NASCAR Cup Series’ first three-race winner this season. It was Hamlin’s 40th NASCAR Cup Series career win and third career victory at Homestead-Miami Speedway's 1.5-mile oval. “Our car was just really good,” Hamlin told FOX Sports. “This is the car kinda based off what we had here in the fall last year going for the (2019) championship. We had a strong car all day, obviously, with the laps led and able to get around Chase there at the end. This whole FedEx team has just done a phenomenal job and this Camry, this one is real special." (Thanks to NASCAR Media.)
