Slaw Dog
Following a 93 percent accuracy rate in 2022, the most-read, most popular blog in Supercross is back for another season of flaming hot predictions. We are off to round 7 in Arlington.
As the greatest wrastler alive, Ric Flair, once said: “I’m the stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ and dealin’ son of a gun.”
As always, we will first review my amazing picks from Oakland before we get into Arington.
Prediction | Jett Wins
*Checks if its a Triple Crown. It’s not. Jett gets back to his winning ways… and keeps the points lead through two rounds. Donuts all around.
Sorry, James is out, Slawstradamus is in. #AMAMediaNominee
Slawdiction: 100 out of 10.
Prediction | Tomac Wins
Tomac should probably just retire, right? I mean a fifth place???? What is wrong with him???? Yeah, this shit is dumb. Tomac destroyed souls en route to THREE wins already in the young season. Make it four this weekend.
Sorry, James is out, Slawstradamus is in. #AMAMediaNominee
Slawdiction: 100 out of 10.
Prediction | Matt Moss Top 7
Matt Moss is back in the U.S.! That’s right, the Aussie will return to racing in the U.S. this weekend with BarX Suzuki. My fantasy season and been shit on a bun, but he’s my LEAD SLAW LOCK OF THE WEEK.
I will be hosting a Matt Moss fantasy support group this weekend.
Slawdiction: 0 out of 10.
Prediction | Lopes Top Five
Mister Lopes let ol’ Slaw down last time the west was around. But that was months ago. I’m back in the wagon, in a big way. Top five and all of Brazil parties!
Sixth is the new fifth. Still credit to me.
Slawdiction: 6 out of 10.
Prediction | Sexton Fastest, Finishes Second
Chase Sexton will be the fastest rider. He will qualify fastest. Probably win his heat. But will finish runner-up to Tomac.

Slawdiction: 100 out of 10.
Onto Arlington, Dallas, Jerry World the Crown Jewel of the series….
Coopa Takes Second Win of Year
Are Triple Crowns the best for Webb, a dude who uses his late race prowess to take souls? Not really. He finished fourth overall at the last Triple Crown at A2. Guess what? Slaw care nothing about that. Coopa is fired up right now. And a fired up Coopa finds a way to win. Second win of the year this weekend.
Bennick Takes Futures
Yeah, SX Futures is back! Stacked class, too. Star Racing Yamaha’s Dax Bennick took the W at Anaheim 2. I like him for a win again this weekend.
Anstie Takes Third Podium
Raise you hand if you had Max Anstie with back-to-back podiums to begin the East Region? Please sit down Anstie family. Jolly old Max has been the surprise of 250 East. He’s a veteran, not really of supercross, though, but it doesn’t matter. He teaches the kids another lesson this weekend with a third straight podium.
Mosiman Bounces Back
Tough start to the year for pre-season title contender Michael Mosiman. 6-7 finishes are not what he and the team imagined. Mos Dog rode well in Tampa, but ran into a Mister Hunter Lawrence and went down. Well, Mosiman bounces back in a big way this weekend. Podium!
Sexton Runner-up Again
As I said last week. Sexton will be fastest in qualifying, win his heat, but finish runner-up to Webb.
