CAREER-FIRST 250SX WIN FOR RED BULL KTM FACTORY RACING’S JULIEN BEAUMER IN SAN DIEGO

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Julien Beaumer has taken control of the 250SX West Championship lead after racing to a breakout first-career AMA Supercross victory in San Diego’s second round of the 2025 season.
Beaumer was in outstanding form from the outset at Snapdragon Stadium, leading the way in Qualifying 1 and ultimately qualifying second-fastest overall onboard his KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION. He then raced forward to finish P3 in his Heat race.

A strong start to the Main Event had the 18-year-old within striking distance of the early leader, before a decisive pass halfway through the race saw him largely unchallenged on his way to claiming his first-ever 250SX win.

Julien Beaumer: “This is the first Main Event win of my career, but I’m trying not to get too excited about it right now, as we have a championship to go for. I didn’t have the greatest Heat, but made it happen when it counted! This is definitely confidence-boosting. At the start of this year I had a goal and I needed to believe in myself and I feel that I showed how much I believe in myself tonight. The track was pretty tight and I felt everything was built a little differently, so it was definitely tricky, but I’m really satisfied with the result tonight.”

In the 450SX division, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton promised to continue his winning ways early on in San Diego. The 25-year-old placed his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION at the top of qualifying this afternoon, and then finished his Heat strongly with a hard-fought P2 score.

Sexton started the Main Event inside the top five, but an error on the opening lap saw him remount at the rear of the field. The former champion refused to give up, however, eventually charging his way to sixth position as the checkered flag flew. As a result, the Anaheim 1 winner sits P2 in the standings.

Chase Sexton: “It was a chaotic night for me. I fell on the first lap and had to do a lot of work to catch back up. I felt like my riding was really good and the bike felt good, so honestly, we just need to work on our starts and get ready for Anaheim 2. I feel pretty confident with where I’m at, so I’m excited.”

It was a tough day for last year’s San Diego winner Aaron Plessinger. ‘The Cowboy’ qualified in 11th position, then made progress with a P6 result in his Heat. Following a mid-pack start in the Main Event, Plessinger was caught up with Sexton on the opening lap and then went down again later, which unfortunately spelled the end of his night.

Aaron Plessinger: “San Diego was an interesting one. I didn’t really feel comfortable early on, so we made some changes and they felt really good during the Heat race. I actually felt good and I was able to push and have some really good lap-times, so I went into the Main optimistic and got a decent start, but unfortunately, I got wrapped up with Chase. I got up and tried to charge through the pack, but then I crashed on the triple-quad section – before I knew it, I was on the ground. I’m not hurt bad – I’m just really sore – but I didn’t feel like my head was in the right space and I decided to call it a night. It’s been a tough start to the season, but we’ve got 15 more rounds and I can definitely bounce back next weekend.”

CONSISTENCY CONTINUES IN SAN DIEGO FOR ROCKSTAR ENERGY GASGAS FACTORY RACING

Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing riders Ryder DiFrancesco and Justin Barcia have continued their solid start to the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship season, finishing fifth and eighth, respectively, in San Diego this weekend.

• Consistency continues for Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing
• Second-consecutive top-five result in 250SX West for Ryder DiFrancesco!
• Justin Barcia maintains sixth position in 450SX title-race

DiFrancesco was competitive all day in the 250SX West division. Riding the GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition, the 19-year-old logged the fifth-fastest time in qualifying, then improved on a mid-pack start to finish his Heat in P4.

In the Main Event, Ryder D hooked a good start and put himself in a podium position at the halfway mark, but a couple of mistakes toward the end of the race saw him lose two places and cross the line in P5. With a pair of top-five results to open the year, he’s placed fifth in the 250SX standings.

Ryder DiFrancesco: “San Diego was good all day! My qualifying, Heat race and Main Event were all consistent. The Main was going to plan until halfway when I made a huge mistake and got bumped back to fourth, then got passed on the last lap and finished fifth. My goal was to be in the fight all year and that’s where we are, so it was a good day all-in-all.”

In a competitive qualifying session, 450SX contender Barcia’s seventh-fastest lap-time on his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition showed that he had pace early on at Snapdragon Stadium, and he brought that same speed into his Heat where he finished with a P4 score.

Bam Bam found himself mid-pack off the start to the premier class Main Event, before he chipped away at the riders ahead of him, eventually crossing the finish-line in P8. Barcia’s consistent results currently see him hold down sixth in the 450SX standings.

Justin Barcia: “It was a better day, for sure. We started off qualifying P7, which was good, as I’ve struggled in practice a bit so far this year. The bike was working well though! My Heat race was good, but I needed a better start, and it was the same in the Main Event. I needed to fight really hard to eighth place, so it wasn’t the result we wanted, but we did a lot of good stuff today and we’re extremely excited to fix a few little things this week and come out swinging at A2.”

Malcolm Stewart makes progress with seventh position in San Diego Supercross

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider Malcolm Stewart has raced to a solid seventh-place finish in San Diego’s second round of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship.

The 32-year-old posted the seventh-fastest qualifying time in an ultra-competitive session, then held his own during the opening 450SX Heat race to finish fifth, equipped with the Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition.

In the Main Event, Stewart started well and ran as high as P4 during the opening laps. The Floridian continued to post fast, consistent laps as the track developed and eventually crossed the line in seventh position, elevating him to P9 in the standings following Round 2.

Malcolm Stewart: “San Diego was a good rebound from what happened to me at A1. I felt pretty good in practice and my Heat race was solid. Then in the Main, I didn’t get the best start, but I kinda made it work going into the first turn and I was sitting inside the top five. During the race there were times I felt like, ‘Alright, let’s go’, but I made a few mistakes and felt a little flat. I’m not sure if it’s because I was a little stiff, but at the end of the day we finished seventh and we can keep building from here. Even though I’m not riding to my full potential, I was still able to land inside the top 10.”

AMA Announces U.S. Team For 2025 FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup

The United States will be represented by five outstanding racers at the 2025 FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup, which runs March 22-23 in Wonthaggi, Australia.

The talented quintet of riders consists of Jamie Astudillo, Jordan Jarvis, Kyleigh Stallings, Lachlan Turner and Mikayla Nielsen, who will fight to bring glory back to the United States during the two-day event. This will be the first time the AMA sends a U.S. team to the growing competition, which is in its second year of operations.

“We are thrilled to have the AMA Women’s Motocross Team competing in the FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup in Australia,” Team Manager Christina Denney said. “As team manager, it’s both an honor and a privilege to lead such a talented group of athletes, and to serve as a role model for women around the world. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the strength and skill of women in motocross on the global stage, and we are excited to represent the USA in this prestigious event.”

Astudillo is a rising star in motocross, earning the Triple Crown Series WMX East Championship last year. Now, with the opportunity to represent the stars and stripes at the 2025 FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup, Astudillo is thrilled to be part of the historic American team.

“I’m incredibly excited and grateful for the chance to represent the AMA and Team USA at this year’s FIM Oceania Women’s Cup,” Astudillo said. “This is a huge moment for the five of us and for women’s motocross in the USA. To my knowledge, it’s the first time the AMA has fielded a women’s motocross team internationally, and we truly appreciate the recognition. It’s a dream come true, and I’m honored to be part of this historic team. I’m confident Team USA will do great, and I can’t wait to compete in Australia!”

A nine-time AMA National Champion and the first woman to qualify for a pro national event, Jarvis is a lightning-quick presence on the track and will greatly help the United States’ efforts in Australia.

“I’m beyond honored and excited for this opportunity to represent the USA in Australia,” Jarvis said. “We have an amazing team and we are all super talented and driven. I think we are going to be tough to beat. I’m looking forward to racing in a country I haven’t been to yet and I’m really looking forward to working as a team with everyone and showing what team USA can do.”

Stallings brings a winning pedigree to the team, as she previously captured multiple class championships in the AMA WMX class at the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship. In 2024, Stallings picked up Women’s Motocross (WMX) Championship wins at Ironman and High Point.

“I am honored to announce that I’ll be representing Team USA in Australia! This is a pivotal moment for women’s motocross,” Stallings said. “I feel privileged to be one of the women to stand alongside such talented riders. Let’s make the USA proud!”

Coming off her 2024 WMX Championship, Turner’s expertise will be a major help to Team USA’s efforts in Australia. Turner’s efforts in 2024 led to her nomination for  AMA Female Racer of the Year honors.

“I am super pumped to represent the United States of America and so excited to race with new women!”

Nielsen — the 2019 AMA Female Racer of the Year — has already made waves in the women’s motocross scene, and will continue to build her legacy as part of Team USA. Nielsen is also nominated for the 2024 AMA Female Racer of the Year.

“Representing Team USA at the FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup in Australia is more than just an honor, it’s a chance to prove how far hard work and determination can take us,” Nielsen said. “This is about showcasing the passion, grit, and talent of women in motocross. I’m excited to compete against some of the best in the world, to push myself to new limits, and to make memories with an incredible team. The USA is ready to bring the heat!”

The FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup will feature five-rider teams from Australia, New Zealand, United States and FIM Africa.

CONSECUTIVE SUPERCROSS PODIUMS FOR TRIUMPH FACTORY RACING

Triumph Factory Racing’s Jordon Smith has continued his impressive start to the 2025 AMA Supercross series, securing his second consecutive 250SX West podium finish at round two, held in San Diego’s scenic Snapdragon Stadium.

Smith, who qualified second in his heat race for the main event, surged into third at the start of the race, thrilling a packed crowd. The race was intense, with the leaders battling hard on a track that punished the most minor mistakes.

Smith used his experience to push his TF 250-X into second after the halfway point and held the position until the chequered flag. The finish helped him maintain his perfect podium run in 2025 and advances him to second in the 250SX West series standings. Five points separate him from the championship leader.

Stilez Robertson, the team’s second competitor in 250SX West, withdrew from the event after straining his wrist in the first timed qualification session. Additional updates on his status for future events will be shared in due course.

Triumph Factory Racing turn their attention back to Anaheim’s Angel Stadium now, as the historic venue is set to host round three of 2025 AMA Supercross on January 25.

Jordon Smith

“Another great night! We struggled a little in the daytime but made some good moves as a team to improve the bike set-up. The track was gnarly in the main event. I got a good start and tried to not over push – it was important to respect the track. We gained some good points and now there is just one more step to go to get to the top of the podium!”

Jeremy Coker – General Manager, Triumph Racing America

“Jordon continues to make strides in the right direction. I am beyond proud of him and the team for working so hard and making improvements. We will continue to work and be on the top step next. Regarding Stilez, he will undergo an MRI on Monday for further evaluation.”

Deegan Finishes Third in San Diego

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan once again fought to the finish, coming from behind to cross the line third at Round 2 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX West Championship in San Diego, California. Rookie sensation Cole Davies continued to impress, claiming his first 250SX heat race victory and earning a career-best fourth-place finish in the main event. Michael Mosiman also made forward progress and joined them in the top 10 with a ninth-place finish. 

Deegan had a strong start to his home supercross race at the Snapdragon Stadium and was the fastest 250 qualifier. The back-to-back 250SMX champ then threw down some fast laps in his heat race and quickly made his way from fifth to third. In the final laps, he had a crash in the whoops but quickly rejoined to hold onto third and contribute to the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing 1-2-3 finish in the 250SX West Heat Race 2. During the main event, it was another tough start with Deegan finding himself eighth after the first lap, but he fought his way through the competition and claimed the final podium spot with five laps remaining, scoring valuable points and advancing to fourth in the championship standings.

Davies continued to showcase his potential in his second pro supercross outing. After qualifying seventh, the rookie got a great start to his heat race and claimed the lead early. With his teammates hot on his heels, the 17-year-old continued to ride his own race and claimed his first heat race win. Starting with the number-one gate pick for the main event, Davies once again, narrowly missed the holeshot and quickly claimed the lead, maintaining it for seven laps. Although he was shuffled back to fifth at the halfway mark, he kept pushing and crossed the line fourth, earning a career-best result and moving up to sixth in the standings.

Mosiman started strong in San Diego, qualifying third. The Californian then grabbed the holeshot in his heat race and kept cool under pressure to ride on to a runner-up finish. In the main event, Mosiman didn’t get the start he was hoping for and then got held up by a downed rider. In 12th after the first lap, he kept pushing and made his way into the top 10 and crossed the line ninth. 

The Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing team returns to Angel Stadium next weekend for Anaheim 2, Round 3 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX West Championship and the SuperMotocross World Championship on January 25 in Anaheim, California.

Jensen Hendler – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing 250 Team Manager
“It was a great day overall in San Diego. Our guys all qualified well and finished 1-2-3 in their heat race. Haiden was fast all day, and although it wasn’t a win, he kept fighting and finished on the podium. It’s always good to score those points on the tough days for sure. It was another great ride from Cole. It’s only his second pro race and he got two great starts, won his heat race, and led the first seven laps of the main event and finished fourth. We’re super proud of him and excited to keep building. Michael had a good day and made a step in the right direction as well. He qualified third, and had a great heat race in second, but unfortunately didn’t get the start in the main and finished ninth. We’ll go back to work this week and come back stronger in Anaheim.” 

Haiden Deegan – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing  #38
“Today started out pretty good and I qualified first. The heat race wasn’t too bad. I felt really fast. I just made a mistake and crashed, but I still finished third. In the main event, I got an okay start and was feeling alright the first few laps going through the pack. I just pumped up pretty bad and kind of had to salvage it from there and finish on the podium.”

Cole Davies – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing #100
“It definitely was a good day today and a step in the right direction. I was seventh in qualifying and wasn’t too happy with that, to be honest, but I reset for the heat race. I got a good gate pick and ripped a great start, and got my first-ever heat race win, so I’m stoked about that. Then I had the first gate pick for the main, and I ripped a start again and led some laps, which was awesome. JuJu (Julian Beaumer) got by me, and then I made a mistake and it was a bit of a snowball effect, but I made a last corner pass for fourth. So we’re happy with today. We’re just going to keep building each week.”

Michael Mosiman – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing #93
“San Diego was an improvement. I took what I learned from A1 and built on it. I was better in qualifying and better in the heat race, but was just a bad start away from having a great main. I was coming through the pack nicely and making progress towards the front, but then a rider went down in front of me and I lost a lot of time and positions that made a big difference in the end. Ninth is not where I want to be, but looking beyond the finishing place, San Diego’s race showed a lot of promise of good things to come. I’ll learn from the mistakes here and be better for next weekend.”

Tomac Reigns Supreme with San Diego Supercross Victory

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac put on a masterclass performance at San Diego Supercross to score his 53rd-career 450SX win and leave Round 2 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship with the red plate. It was a stellar outing for the 450 team, with Cooper Webb making it a double-podium finish, scoring a third-place result at the Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California. Justin Cooper salvaged points with an 11th-place finish. 

Tomac had a strong qualifying in third and then really came out swinging in the night show, grabbing the holeshot and scoring a dominant victory in his heat race. Although he didn’t get the start he was hoping for in the main event, he quickly made his way forward, going from seventh to third in four laps and then taking over the lead at the halfway point. With his title rival on his heels, the duo set a blistering pace up front. It was a thrilling heavyweight fight to the finish, with Tomac coming out on top to earn his first win of the season, his 53rd-career premier-class supercross victory, and the championship 450SX Championship lead. It was also another one for the record books, as the Colorado rider made 2025 his eleventh-consecutive supercross season with a win. 

It was a good second round for Webb as well. He qualified fourth and then got a great start to his heat race in the runner-up spot, where he would finish. In the main event, it was another flying start from the North Carolina rider. He quickly claimed the lead and held onto it for the first half of the race before getting shuffled to third. Webb continued to fight despite feeling less than 100% with an illness and held off the competition to join his teammate on the podium. He too, is in a good position early in the 450SX title fight, sitting fourth and four points from his teammate at the top spot.

Although it was a tough day in San Diego, Cooper continued to work on finding his comfort zone and qualified ninth. In the heat race, he came together with another rider off the start and found himself back in 10th after the first lap. The New Yorker kept fighting and made his way to seventh, but it was another challenging race in the main event with a less-than-ideal gate pick. Cooper didn’t get off the gate as he had hoped and was 12th after the first lap, ultimately crossing the line 11th.. 

Next weekend, the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing team returns to Angel Stadium for Anaheim 2, Round 3 of Monster Energy AMA Supercross and the SuperMotocross World Championship on January 25 in Anaheim, California. 

Rich Simmons – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing 450 Team Manager

“Obviously, it was a great night for Eli with the heat race win and an amazing main event race with Jett (Lawrence). It was great to see him back to that classic Tomac form, and we’re looking forward to keeping this momentum rolling. It was also a great night from Webb, who was leading laps and hanging on for third. So, another great team effort in San Diego, and it’s always good to have two riders on the podium. It was an off-day for Justin, but he will regroup, and I’m confident next week we will see a different rider.”

Eli Tomac – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing #3

“It was an outstanding race for us. To get a win was so special, and to get it done in the full 20-minute main event was a huge deal for me and a testament that we’ve been getting stronger and faster. Throughout the off-season, with the training and the racing, we’ve been working to improve areas where we thought we were a little bit weak, and now it’s showing. It’s just so cool to get this win tonight and to do it by making passes and having to really work our way to the front.”

Cooper Webb – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing #2

“It was a much better day today. I was fourth in qualifying, and then the main event went well overall. I was second off the start, which was really good, and led about half the race. I was just a little under the weather, so it was tough and about halfway, that was all I had. That being said, Eli and Jett were hauling butt. They were on it tonight, so I’m happy with the podium. We’ll get back to work.”

Justin Cooper – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing #32

“It was a tough day for me all day long. My riding was okay, but I locked bars with a rider in the heat race, and then a bad gate pick in the main left me pretty far back. I just did what I could from there. It’s time to rebound next weekend.”

SUZUKI’S KEN ROCZEN EARNS FOURTH PLACE AT SAN DIEGO SUPERCROSS

San Diego’s Snapdragon Stadium delivered an exciting Round 2 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross season. The tight track tested the riders throughout the main event as rocks embedded in the dirt were uncovered and added to the challenge of the obstacles. 

Race Highlights:

• Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki
  • 450 Class
    • Ken Roczen ran up front throughout the main event; his fourth-place result keeps him inside the top 3 in the standings.
• Twisted Tea Suzuki Presented by Progressive Insurance
  • 450 Class
    • Colt Nichols posted the fastest lap times in both of his qualifying sessions and put in consistent laps in the main.
    • Kyle Chisholm used a strong LCQ ride to slot into the main and grab more points in his 20th year of professional racing.

Ken Roczen (94) and his Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki RM-Z450 had the crowd on its feet, challenging for the lead, and later in the race for a podium spot, before settling for a fourth-place result.

Ken Roczen (94) was quick in morning qualifying and used that track speed to nab a podium heat race result. With a good starting gate pick he rocketed his Suzuki RM-Z450 off the line and emerged from the first turn in second place. Roczen battled up front through the main and seemed able to gain on other riders even while taking alternate, passing lines. Roczen wrapped up the night with his second top five result; his consistency has him sitting in third place in the series points. 

“I think my race overall was really good. I was happy with it,” reported Roczen. “Of course, there are always things you want to work on and try to get better. I’m staying in California this week and we’re going to work on a couple little things. We are in a good spot, we had a really good race, and I am happy with the fourth place.”

Colt Nichols (45) battled through the pack in his heat race to lock down a direct transfer to the main event. 

Colt Nichols (45) topped both of his sessions during daytime qualifying. A poor start in his heat race provided his first challenge of the day, but Nichols jumped into a transfer position on the opening lap and held strong until the end. Nichols was fast in the main and used his finish to move up three spots in the championship standings. 

“San Diego, round two, was a tough one,” Nichols said. “I got a bad start in the main and I struggled to get a flow of the track, but I needed to get through a main and see the pace. I definitely have some work to do. I’m going to go back home and try to work on a few things, a little bit at a time, and be better next weekend.”

Kyle Chisholm (11) ran as high as second place in the LCQ to add another main event transfer to his impressive stats over 20 years as a professional racer.

Kyle Chisholm (11) is starting off his season with great speed and consistent rides. A tough heat race sent him to the LCQ, but Chisholm leapt into second place right after crossing the hole shot stripe and used that result to put his Twisted Tea Suzuki RM-Z450 on the line for the main event. 

“I lined up for the LCQ. I didn’t have a very good gate pick, but it was time to make it happen or go home, and I did not want to go home,” Chisholm told after the race. “So I ripped an awesome start and came out in second. I ran second for most of the race and ended up third. In the main, I rode better than I did last week even though, on paper, I’m still not where I want to be… It’s early in the season, everybody’s healthy, and there are a lot of fast guys right now, so it’s tough. But we’re out there battling every week in the main event. At 37 years old it definitely doesn’t get any easier trying to keep up with all these kids. I’m enjoying it, having fun, and I’m happy to be out there in the main event, but I want more and want to do better.”

“It was a good weekend. Ken Roczen rode very well in the main event,” said Larry Brooks, Team Manager for Twisted Tea/H.E.P. Motorsports/Suzuki presented by Progressive Insurance. “We were making a lot of changes to the bike during the day, thinking we had the set up. But when the night show came, we were a little bit off, and we had to make a quick change before the main event. But we made the right choice, and everything seemed to be good. We had all three of our Suzuki motorcycles in the main, so it was a successful night. We’re third in points right now but we’re not really looking at points; it’s a long season, so we’re just focusing weekend to weekend right now.”

The series next returns to Angel Stadium for the Anaheim 2 Supercross this Saturday, January 25th. The Suzuki riders and squads have shown that they have what it takes to run up front and deliver podium results. Don’t miss any of the action as the riders continue the battle throughout the 17-round Monster Energy AMA Supercross season.

Jett Lawrence Returns to Podium at San Diego SX

The second round of AMA Supercross took place on Saturday in San Diego, where all three participating Honda HRC Progressive riders turned in impressive performances. Hunter Lawrence and Jo Shimoda fought through challenges to demonstrate their grit and determination in posting commendable results in their main events (fifth in 450SX despite a bad illness for the former, seventh in 250SX West despite two broken fingers for the latter), and Jett Lawrence showed considerably more speed than he had at round 1, notching second place in the premier class and reducing his deficit in the title fight.

Jett had a so-so start and sat just inside the top 10 after turn 1. Nonetheless, he pushed his CRF450RWE through the field, climbing to second place by about the midway point. He then pressured the leading Eli Tomac for the last half of what was a thrilling race, ultimately coming up just 1.518 seconds short. Meanwhile, Hunter Lawrence slotted into second early on and rode strong to an eventual top-five result, and Phoenix Racing Honda’s Dylan Ferrandis and Quad Lock Honda’s Joey Savatgy also finished in the top 10.

In the 250SX West division, Shimoda had an excellent jump out of the gate, but he ran wide in the first turn and found himself midpack. He shrugged off the pain in his hand as he battled through the pack to finish in seventh place, securing valuable points.

NOTES

• Jett and Hunter Lawrence, along with Jo Shimoda, participated in Friday’s Media Day before joining other riders on the track for a practice session.
• Motoworld of El Cajon, a popular Southern California Powerhouse dealer, set up a pop-up activation booth in the Honda HRC Progressive pits, where they displayed a CRF450R and a CRF110F, and engaged with fans and customers.
• San Diego marked the first time for Shimoda to hold the red plate in his career.
• Jett Lawrence secured the second-best time overall in the 450 qualifying sessions, while Hunter Lawrence was 11th. Jo Shimoda was fourth-quickest in 250SX West. Also of note was Phoenix Honda’s Dylan Ferrandis, who was 10th in 450SX.

Jett Lawrence ¹

“A lot of improvement over last weekend, so I’m super-happy. The bike is getting better and better. I felt good through the night; I just made the one little mistake of going back to the inside in the sand and Tomac getting me, but we’re looking forward to the next rounds to come up. I’m feeling more familiar with the bike each weekend. I’m looking forward to it; we’re going to go home, just log some laps in and hopefully get a better result next weekend.”

Hunter Lawrence ⁹⁶

“I had been struggling with my throat a bit during the week, and I thought it was more from the ashes and stuff from the fires [in Southern California]. I thought I was coming good, and then Friday night, it just got so bad. It was a really tough day. I’m feeling pretty sick and I have no energy, so I’m pretty happy to come out fifth. I did what I needed to do to make my night a little easier. It was a tough day at the office, but I’m just looking to get back to 100% as soon as I can.”

Jo Shimoda ³⁰

“Overall it’s good to score a little bit of points. Obviously I ended the night with two broken fingers, but I’m looking to get a little recovery and hopefully be a little better next weekend.”

Lars Lindstrom

Team Manager

“Today was a challenging day for the team, with Hunter being very under the weather, and Jo having his incident in practice that broke two fingers on his left hand. Overall, I’m extremely proud of our athletes, for really gritting their teeth and showing everyone what warriors they are. Obviously, the biggest story from the weekend is our 450 boys really turning things around from last weekend, and I want to thank our crew, who were able to get the bike in a better spot than it was. Maybe that’s why I wasn’t stressing about the bike’s performance like some in the media were, because we have such a great team that works together so well, and I had complete confidence in them. Hopefully we can get Jo to be able to get through the next two rounds, so he can heal up more and continue to be a frontrunner in the class. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.”

Strong start to U.S. Sprint Enduro Series for Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing riders Craig DeLong and Korie Steede were both competitive in the opening round of the 2025 U.S. Sprint Enduro Series at Mac Daddy’s XC Paradise in Georgia, where DeLong finished P4 in the Pro Class and Steede stood on the Pro Women Class podium in second position.

Riding the Husqvarna FX 350, DeLong managed to adapt to the rain-soaked conditions throughout the weekend on his way to the top five overall, gaining strength throughout both days and setting the foundation for a strong year ahead.

“The first race of the year was a little rough for me, but we can take positives also,” DeLong commented. “We got some rain on Saturday that soaked the course and made it pretty slick. I had a few crashes early on both days that set me back, but we kept pushing for some better results as the weekend went on – I’m glad to get the first one out of the way for 2025.”

For Steede, after injury disrupted her season last year, a return to the U.S. Sprint Enduro Series podium was a welcome one on the Husqvarna FC 250. She led at the conclusion of the opening day, before eventually claiming a second-place result once the final checkered flag was waved on Sunday.

“On Saturday I was able to squeeze out the win after a few crashes, but Sunday I made it hard on myself again on an even gnarlier track and wasn’t able to make the push back to the front,” said Steede. “I’m stoked to be back racing again and feeling better every time I’m on the bike.”

DANTE OLIVEIRA WINS NGPC OPENER AS JOHNNY GIRROIR STARTS U.S. SPRINT ENDURO ON TOP

FMF KTM Factory Racing’s 2025 season opened with immense success over the weekend as defending National Grand Prix Champion Dante Oliveira took victory at Round 1 in Delano, while on the East Coast, reigning U.S. Sprint Enduro Series title-holder Johnny Girroir won the opener in Georgia. The Mac Daddy’s race also saw FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers’ Grant Davis stand atop the podium in the Pro 2 Class.

NATIONAL GRAND PRIX CHAMPIONSHIP – ROUND 1

Picking up where he left off last year, five-time National Grand Prix Championship (NGPC) winner Dante Oliveira charged to P1 in Sunday’s first round of 2025, contested in Delano, California.

A fast start saw Oliveira lead the opening five laps and then he finally took control of the race altogether with three to go, taking the checkered flag and the early points lead onboard his KTM 450 XC-F.

Dante Oliveira: “The intensity was definitely high today, the track really allows you to pin it, and you have to be on your A-game. It was a fun day, I got the holeshot and put the hammer down, but they kept me honest the whole race! We were able to get it done, so I was stoked with the result to start the NGPC season on top.”

FMF KTM Factory Racing teammate and younger brother Mateo Oliveira was also impressive at the season-opening round, sprinting from the outset and showcasing his front-running pace. He would eventually settle into third position in the Pro Class, making it two KTMs on the podium this weekend.

Mateo Oliveira: “That was a really strong opening round, a good fight for the lead over the first 40 minutes, and then I got shuffled back to third. You have to fight for it over those first couple of laps, but also keep that pace over the race distance – it was good to be up there and to remind myself of where I can be in these races. It’s starting to come around for me and I’m stoked!”

U.S. SPRINT ENDURO SERIES – ROUND 1

Round 1 of the U.S. Sprint Enduro Series saw FMF KTM Factory Racing Team’s defending champion Johnny Girroir race to victory across both days in Hephzibah, Georgia, for the overall at Mac Daddy’s XC Paradise.

Equipped with the KTM 350 XC-F, Girroir eased his way into both days while navigating the technical, mixed conditions across the enduro and cross tests, and built momentum over the course of the weekend. In the end, the two-time champion managed to win by over 25 seconds and extended his exceptional winning streak of 22 days in the series.

Johnny Girroir: “The weekend went good and it was nice to start the season on top. I started slow because each day was wet and sloppy, but found momentum as the tracks got better each day, so we were happy to get the job done in the end!”

Pro 2 saw FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers standout Grant Davis begin his U.S. Sprint Enduro Series campaign on top of the podium in class, riding the KTM 250 XC-F. Davis was in contention for the overall podium as well – eventually claiming P4 – despite a crash on Sunday, and took confidence from his performance at the opener.

Grant Davis: “It was sick running up there with Johnny for the overall! I had a crash on day two, which set me back quite a bit, but I’ll fix that and be better for Round 2.”

Josh Brolin Narrates the Intriguing and Deadly Tale of How One of the World’s Biggest Motorsports Came to Be in New Film Pay Dirt: The Story of Supercross

Josh Brolin is helping bring to life the stories of Supercross in the new film Pay Dirt: The Story of Supercross.

In the 52 years since Supercross was first started with a note on a cocktail napkin, the motorsport has had as many twists and turns off the track as on, but until now many of those stories have not been told on the big screen.

Pay Dirt, with its unparalleled access to the heroes and the villains of the sport through unseen footage and rare interviews, tells the stories of Supercross from the rivalries, the competition and the people that helped make it one of America’s favorite motorsports.

Academy Award nominee Brolin lends his voice to the documentary which is presented by Monster Energy and is in theaters worldwide next month.

The actor’s passion for all things dirt bike combined with the intriguing story of the sport ensures the film is not just for fans of Supercross but for anyone with a thirst for adrenaline, intrigue and high-octane history.

Brolin says he got involved with the project because Supercross is not just about bikes on a track but about people who give it their all – and Pay Dirt captures that.

“When people are good at what they do, I think a lot of people respond to it. It’s settled in,” the star, who also serves as executive producer, says. “Pay Dirt is not preachy at all. It’s not telling you how to feel. It just is what it is, and I think people really respond to honesty.

“You start to see in finding your most relaxed place, you find that it is your greatest capacity. And that’s what I felt in doing this story on Supercross.”

Pay Dirt director Paul Taublieb says the actor was an obvious choice for narrator as “Josh Brolin brings the poetry.”

“You can’t talk about this movie without talking about him. Josh as a narrator is extraordinary,” the Emmy Award winning director says.

In addition to Brolin, the stories of the sport are told by Supercross creators Mike Goodwin and Jeremy McGrath as well as cornerstones like Rick Johnson and Bob “Hurricane” Hannah, along Ricky Carmichael, Ryan Villopoto and the Deegans – Brian and current Supercross star Haiden.

Goodwin, who is credited as the founding father of Supercross after helping develop the sport with an agreement on a napkin, speaks from his jail cell where he is serving life behind bars. Representing one of the darkest parts of the motorsport’s history, the rock-turned-sports promoter was responsible for the brutal assassination deaths of motorsports Hall of Famer Mickey Thompson and his wife Trudy.

It is just one of the stories that forms part of the intriguing tale of the sport captured in Pay Dirt which provides a behind-the-scenes, and on the track, look at American Supercross from 1972 to present day in major stadiums across the USA.

Backed by Monster Energy and with Feld Motor Sports’ extensive catalog of archival footage, as well as unparalleled access for Taublieb Films to capture breathtaking live 4K footage at recent races, audiences will be trackside in this not to be missed film.

“Monster is proud to add Pay Dirt: The Story of Supercross to the feature documentaries we’ve supported, and perhaps more than any other, this film captures the essence of the brand and our dedication to authentically backing motorsports,” says Sam Pontrelli, Senior VP of Communications for Monster Energy.

Pay Dirt: The Story of Supercross is in theaters worldwide starting on January 20 before going to streaming platforms later this spring. For more on Pay Dirt: The Story of Supercrossincluding showings, www.paydirtthemovie.com.

Team Dunlop X Ryan Dungey Foundation

Creating opportunities for the next generation of kids together.

Over two decades ago, Ryan Dungey teamed up with Dunlop Motorcycle Tires when the Minnesota native began his journey at the amateur nationals. That initial connection ignited a remarkable 11-year professional career, featuring an incredible nine championship titles (seven with Dunlop), nearly 75 race victories, and countless podium finishes!

For the very first time, Ryan and Dunlop are joining forces to open up amazing opportunities for the next generation! With the backing of Dunlop and the incredible Team Dunlop Elite riders, we’re set to raise essential funds that will help children lead vibrant and active lives, all while supporting the battle against childhood cancer. The funds raised will go directly to All Kids Bike and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“Dunlop has been an exceptional partner and supporter, not only of the sport and me but now of the foundation as well. Their commitment to advancing the sport aligns incredibly well with our mission to create opportunities for the next generation of children. Upon joining a factory team, I swiftly realized the significant opportunity and responsibility that come with being part of a team and having a platform. Working with this next generation of riders is truly a privilege. I can personally attest that there’s nothing more uplifting than witnessing kids uplifting each other. Through this partnership, we have the chance to impart a valuable lesson on the importance of leveraging their platform for positive change. I believe we are on the brink of something remarkable, as we are set to unite the top amateur mini-bike racers from across the country to raise funds for other children. I know that each of these racers will discover how they can make a meaningful impact beyond the track.”- Ryan Dungey #5

With All Kids Bike joining the ranks of the foundation’s beneficiaries, Dungey and Dunlop are eager to inspire the next generation to pursue their passions through the freedom and boundless opportunities that come from two wheels. Dungey’s own life was transformed by riding, and All Kids Bike embodies the mission of enhancing childhood mobility—both physically and mentally—by providing no-cost Learn-to-Ride programs in public schools nationwide.

“We’re thrilled to partner with the Ryan Dungey Foundation, which perfectly aligns with one of our missions to grow the sport of motorcycling,” stated Chad Geer, Director of MC Product, Marketing & Motorsports at Dunlop Motorcycle Tires. “Through our Team Dunlop program, our involvement in amateur racing and offering the latest technologies in mini-bike sized tires, we are supporting the future of the sport. It’s inspiring to see young people flourish while engaging in outdoor activities like motorcycling and biking. We’re excited about the foundation’s efforts to create opportunities for both new and experienced riders to get started, all while supporting incredible organizations like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and All Kids Bike, which are doing wonderful work for children in need.”
