Eli Tomac of Cortez won the 450 overall Saturday at High Point Raceway in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania.<\/span>Kawasaki Racing<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Eli Tomac conquered a sloppy track Saturday at High Point Raceway to win the overall race in his back-and-forth competition with Ken Roczen for the series lead.<\/p>\n

Tomac\u2019s third- and second-place finishes in the two motos in Mount Morris beat Roczen\u2019s sixth- and first-place finishes for the win, 42 points to 40. Jason Anderson was third, with second- and fifth-place finishes, for 38 points.<\/p>\n

With the overall win, Tomac sits atop the series standings with Roczen, at 176 points each.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s gonna be a barn-burner,\u201d Tomac said of the competition with Roczen. \u201cWe\u2019re tied now, and I\u2019m just glad to make some points.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot often a 3-2 gets you a 1st OA , but we got it yesterday!\u201d he said Sunday on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIn Moto 1, I was in a really good position, .. and I had, I call it a dumb tipover,\u201d Tomac said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I just got off balance or what, pushed the front end out. Luckily, we still had a little bit of a gap there.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the second moto, Savatgy won the holeshot but surrendered the lead to Webb. Tomac, in sixth place after the first lap, worked through the crowd into fourth place by the ninth of 17 laps. As Roczen charged to the front, Tomac got by Anderson in the 12th lap and by Webb in the 15th to race to a second-place finish. Webb, Osborne and Anderson rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n

During qualifying rounds Saturday, Tomac was fourth-fastest, behind Anderson, Musquin and Baggett.<\/p>\n

Tomac was satisfied with his win.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the first time, at least that I can remember, getting the overall without getting a moto win,\u201d he said on Cycle News.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series next goes to WW Ranch Motocross Park in Jacksonville, Florida, on June 22 for the fifth of 12 races.<\/p>\n
