Despite a crash and a DNF in the second moto on Saturday at the AMA Pro Motocross Championship opener, Daxton Bennick appears to be racing this weekend.

Bennick suffered a crash and a DNF in moto two, riding off under his own power after the crash. He scored 7-38 moto finishes for 14th overall and posted to Instagram:

“Thankful to be alright after my crash in the second moto had a solid day going. Hangtown up next👊🏻”

Bennick was the second highest finishing rider on the team behind teammate Ryder DiFrancesco’s tenth overall (19-3) leading the charge as Casey Cochran’s 40-17 was 21st overall.

DiFrancesco said on his day:

"It was a good weekend for me overall! Qualifying was okay, but I improved as the day developed, which was encouraging. My first moto crash meant that I had to salvage as much as I could, so then in Moto 2, I was up there in the fight to finish third, which makes me excited heading into next weekend."

Cochran said:

"Overall, there are positives to take away. It was decent to start with 10th in qualifying, and then unfortunately we weren't able to finish Moto 1, which was a bummer. Moto 2, I didn't feel super-comfortable out there, so I struggled a little bit all moto. It was good to get some gate drops, though, and we'll come back firing next weekend."
