Last week, we got a post-race note from the SMX Media team (PR for the series) after the San Diego SX round of Monster Energy AMA Supercross. The note was a list of the incidents reviewed by the Race Direction (RD) team that overseas penalties both on and off the track. Vince Friese received a warning and two license penalty points for “disregarding the Blue Flag and blue flag protocol on multiple occasions during the Main Event.” Friese finished 17th in the 450SX main event.
In Saturday night’s 450SX main event, Friese took out Mitchell Harrison in the final turn as they battled for 19th place.
Steve Matthes caught up with Harrison after the race in a Post-Race Pulpcasts interview. Harrison said he was frustrated so he went to talk to Friese, who told him to come into his team’s rig. Harrison said he agreed, then Friese “just charges” at him and they broke out into a fight.

This morning, we got another note from SMX Media, again with incidents reviewed by the Race Direction team, including the incident between Friese and Harrison.
Below is the full A2 reviewed incidents.
Note: Bolding by SMX Media, not Racer X.
Friese now has four total points on his rider’s license after just three rounds of SX so far.
The entire post-race penalty report has not been posted yet but we will provide an update once the full penalty report is released.
