Jason Anderson was given a written warning for “Aggressive/Reckless Riding” by the American Motorcycle Association, and Hunter Lawrence was fined and given a written warning for a “Code of Contact Violation” for actions in the Monster Energy Supercross Series season finale in Salt Lake City.
Anderson rode Lawrence wide on Lap 2 of the Salt Lake City Main Event and sent him into the Tuff Blox. Lawrence crashed as Anderson rode away.
Hunter’s brother, Jett Lawrence, was immediately behind the incident.
“I think [Anderson] forgot there were two Lawrences out there, and he did it right in front of one of the Lawrences,” Jett said in a post-race news conference. “Guys like him need a hit in the mouth sometimes … so it is what it is.”
In the following lap, Jett ran into the side of Anderson as they battled for fourth in the running order. Jett got loose after the contact and nearly crashed in the next set of rhythms. Anderson passed him soon after.
Jett was not penalized for his move on Anderson.
Jett then moderated his pace after the exchange and eventually finished seventh, which was good enough to secure the Supercross championship in his rookie season.
