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 9 in Indy.
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 Daytona before we get into Indy.
Prediction | Tomac Passes the GOAT
Daytona and Tomac go together like a classic Oscar and some Slaw on a hot summer day. Last year, Tomac picked up his sixth win at the iconic race (despite what a Mister Matthes says) and broke a tie with Ricky Carmichael for the most wins at the event. Tomac enters this weekend tied with RC on the all-time Supercross wins list with 48. What a more fitting way to pass the GOAT than this weekend. He gets it done.
Congrats to Eli. Also, he’s about to pass Stew. You know who predicted that? Yep, that was me.
Slawdiction: 100 out of 10.
Prediction | J-Mart for the Upset
Until I read a Mister Kel Dawg’s Tweet below, I was going to go Hunter. Not anymore. J-Mart gets it done on the more, kind of, sort of, outdoor style track.
This is all Kel Dawg’s fault. Slaw is not to blame. Please let him know. Thanks!
Slawdiction: Incomplete
Prediction | Anstie Rises
Live look at Anstie heading to Daytona. He secures a podium. LEAD SLAW LOCK OF THE WEEK!
You know who is here for Max? Slaw that is who.
Slawdiction: 100 out of 10.
Prediction | Webb Runner Up
Don’t forget, Webb is actually pretty damn good on this track. Last year he led 15 of 18 laps and dang near held off Tomac. He’s hot right now, so I like him for a runner-up finish.
Slawstradamus has a nice ring to it, right? Right?
Slawdiction: 100 out of 10.
Prediction | The Brayton/Weege Love Fest is Too Much to Overcome
Please report any and all findings to me directly regarding this weekend. Thanks.
The love is strong.
Slawdiction: 100 out of 10.
On to Indy, the Crown Jewel of the series.
RJ Stays Strong
Yeah, RJ grew up in Florida. Yeah, RJ is good at Daytona. Know what else Slaw thinks of RJ? He’s just flat out good on a 450. I’m going out on a bun and saying top 5 this weekend.
Hunter Wins
Bold, I know!
Sexton Bounces Back
You COULD say Chase Sexton SHOULD be leading the points and you WOULDN’T be wrong. But he isn’t. Mistakes have killed him. Those stop this weekend. He gets the W. Stamp it.
Tomac Wins
Wait, Slaw, you just said Sexton would win? I’m aware. Just hedging my bets, bubs!
Webb Wins
Just hedging my bets, bubs!
