Frenchman Marvin Musquin is celebrating his maiden East Coast Regional 250SX American Supercross round win after a dominant performance in Daytona last weekend.

Red Bull KTM’s Musquin was placed in heat number one where he got off to a third place start as the riders rounded the first corner. He made a pass on Vince Friese for second place on lap two of the heat and held his position easily transfer to the main event.

When the gate dropped for the main event, Musquin put his KTM 250 SX-F up front early, grabbed the holeshot to lead the first lap before concentrating on stretching his lead.

The former world champion went on to lead throughout the 15-lap main event to claim his first 250SX career win. Musquin crossed the line eight seconds ahead of his competition even after celebrating with a fun heel-clicker.

“Obviously I had a lot of fun riding this track,” commented Musquin after the race. “I knew everyone was going to be fast so I stayed calm out front and tried to have fun.

“I am so happy to get this win and to also gain more confidence knowing that I was pulling away from them each lap.”

Musquin’s win at Daytona moves him up one position in the overall point standings to third overall after four rounds.
