In the first race, Jett was 10th at the conclusion of Lap 1, climbed to sixth on Lap 4, and then posted his fastest lap of the moto and passed three riders that time around to assume the final podium position. Jett won the following moto and scored the overall win via the tiebreaker.

Jett earned the holeshot in both motos before he put his bike on the ground in Moto 1. He stayed upright in Moto 2 and led start-to-finish. But Jett did not immediately ride away from the field as Hunter stayed within a few seconds until he lost the tow in the closing laps to ultimately finish nearly nine seconds off the pace.
