Plessinger Scores Season Best at Indianapolis 2
Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing’s Aaron Plessinger finished fifth last night at the second round in Indianapolis, Round 5 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship; his best finish so far this season. Teammates Dylan Ferrandis and Malcolm Stewart rebounded from a crash in the Main Event to finish ninth and 10th respectively.
Although Plessinger didn’t get the result he was looking for earlier in the day, a flying start in second delivered a solid top-five position at the end of the first lap. The 2018 250SX West Champion kept putting in the laps and worked his way back into fourth with eight laps to go, but ultimately was passed on the final lap. Plessinger’s fifth-place effort, scored just two hours away from his hometown of Hamilton, Ohio, moves him into the top 10 of the point standings.
