With a victory in the second 250 Class moto, Jeremy Martin took a step closer towards wrapping up the 2014 championship.
Watch the recap of 250 Moto 2:
Moto 1 winner Christophe Pourcel grabbed another MotoSport.com Holeshot – sweeping both holeshots for the third week in a row – and held the early lead, but had Martin following close behind.
With just over 13 minutes left on the countdown clock, Martin finally made the pass on Pourcel – who was perhaps cognizant of the fact that giving up the moto lead would not relinquish his grip on the overall victory.
Martin and Pourcel went on to race the rest of the moto in the first and second spots, with Martin claiming his eighth moto win of the season and Pourcel capturing his first overall victory in four years.
Martin now has an iron-clad grip on this title race after Cooper Webb and Blake Baggett both failed to make up ground once again. Baggett got off to a better start in Moto 2 but only climbed from sixth to fourth throughout the duration of the race. As for Webb, he crashed about 20 minutes into the moto and would wind up with a DNF.
Martin now has a 66-point lead on Baggett and a 74-point lead on Webb. With just four motos left in the season, Martin is in good shape to lock up the title next week at Indiana with even just a conservative outing.
