The Daytona Supercross in photos

March 8, 2016

Eli Tomac and Jeremy Martin each claimed their first wins of the season at a sandy and rough Daytona Supercross by Honda. There was good racing in both classes, particularly in the 250 class, where Martin dogged Malcolm Stewart for the duration of the race before making a pass for the lead on lap 13 of 15. Photographer Shan Moore has the story in photos.
