The Lawrence brothers and Jason Anderson are not friends. And that’s fine. Everyone does not need to be broing down during the week.
Jett and Jason have a history. Member San Diego last year?
Hunter and Jason have a history. Member Salt Lake City last year?
So, when Anderson got into the lead in the main event Saturday night in Anaheim and Jett quickly got into second, fireworks were expected.
Yet, we got none.
Jett tried a couple passes before finally making something stick and taking off for his first win of 2025. After the race, Jett talked about how he learned Anderson’s lines after following him in the heat and main.
“Yeah, I was behind Jason in both of the heat and main, and I got to learn his lines,” said Jett in the post-race press conference. “And obviously the main was completely different to the heat. We know…we’re pushing the pace in the heat race because we had traction. But once we got to the main, once it was Jason and I like 12, I kind of like, all right, let’s just try and find the safe lines and not throw it away cause it would be worse to not get a podium after crashing or something.
“But yeah, I just tried staying there, staying there, and this one lap I couldn’t really find anywhere,” he added. “So, I’m just like, gosh, I guess I just got to balls up and just send it through the whoops [Laughs] and I think we both got sketched through [them] that lap and through that line, but was able to make a pass and get through the second set too.”
As for Anderson, he said despite the “crap talk” off the track, on the track he’s going to race Jett straight up.
“Yeah, it was good,” he said. “Like I said, I even told Jett after the race, I was like, I’ll talk crap off the track, but when we’re in those battles I think it’s really cool to…yeah, I’m gonna keep it real, you know. I even like, he always has raced me really well and, yeah, he got the better of me, but it was fun racing and being able to do that upfront is cool for all of us.”
