The final qualifying sessions for the year in Arlington are done and dusted, with Chase Sexton topping the 450SX timesheets and Justin Cooper on top of 250SX West qualifying.

As the clock ran out in the second qualifying session, class rookie Chase Sexton (Team Honda HRC) found his way to the top of the timesheets, logging the fastest lap of the day at 48.143s.

Defending series champion and podium finisher from Tuesday, Eli Tomac (Monster Energy Kawasaki) ended the session second place. After leading the first session, Ken Roczen (Team Honda HRC) rounded out the top three on the day.

Fourth fastest was Dean Wilson who’s continuing his impressive momentum as of late, with points leader Cooper Webb (Red Bull KTM) taking the final spot in the top five.

Malcolm Stewart brought his Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha home in sixth, with a fastest time of 48.630s, followed by Jason Anderson on his Rockstar Energy Husqvarna.

Justin Barcia (TLD Red Bull GasGas) was eighth while Dylan Ferrandis (Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha) took ninth as the first rider in the 49s range.

The final spot in the top 10 went to Joey Savatgy (Rocky Mountain ATV/MC KTM), while unfortunately, his teammate Justin Bogle crashed hard in untimed practice and will sit out the race tonight.
