TOMAC CLINCHES EIGHTH DAYTONA 450SX VICTORY

Eli Tomac earned a commanding victory in Round 8 of the 2026 AMA Supercross Championship at Daytona International Speedway, as Tomac claimed a record eighth-career Daytona Supercross win in the premier class and his fourth of the SMX World Championship season. Entering Daytona already as the winningest rider in the event’ s history, Tomac carried confidence into Round 8, powering to the second-fastest qualifying time with a 1:15.020s lap on the technical, high-speed layout. A holeshot in 450SX Heat 1 saw the 33-yearold charge to a wire-to-wire victory, remaining unchallenged at the front of the field and crossing the line with a 5.092s winning margin.
