Max Anstie captured one of the most elusive wins of his career by taking home the 250SX West main event victory at Anaheim 1, marking his fourth supercross win of his career.

Max Anstie: “I think it has to be at the top, you know. Anaheim is special. You know, when I was just a kid, 7, 8, 9 years old, I remember coming to this race, watching this race, dreaming about this race, thinking that it was so far away that I don’t know if I’d ever, you know, I was just a kid, I was like, I don’t even know how to get here, how to even be here.And like I said on the podium, hopefully, you know, I can be some inspiration to these kids that are still trying to figure it out, but feel like, you know, I came from England, I’m a long way away from here and, and to be, to have made it here now.“

“I’m 32 years old. People might go, oh, yeah, when you’re 16, 18, I’m, you know, it’d be great.I would love to have been in this position when I was 18, 19, 20 years old. But man, coming from the UK, making it all the way over here, it’s been something special. And I think for the kids that don’t have life all figured out, don’t really know how to get to this place, everyone’s on their own timeline, you can get there.“

“Mate, I remember coming to America in 2020 after nine years in MXGP. I was teammates with Adam (Enticknap), and we was just trying to qualify for the main event.”
