Team Honda HRC rider and championship point leader Jett Lawrence won the race for his seventh victory of the season. "I just got lucky on that one," he said in a news release. "I didn't quite have that pace, so I just focused on trying to get a flow. I just kept an eye on Hunter (Lawrence) at that point. It's nice to get another win, but I definitely wasn't at my best today." (Contributed photo courtesy of Align Media)
