Cullin Park returns with Phoenix Honda to Supercross 250 East

NBC Sports05-02-2025

After missing all but one Monster Energy Supercross race last in 2024, Cullen Park returns to the series with Phoenix Racing Honda to begin his quest for the 2025 Supercross East championship when that division debuts this week at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
Park suffered a wrist injury in the 250 East opener last year, which was held at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. He would not return to the series and focused on training for the 450 division in Pro Motocross. Park finished 29th in the outdoor series after scoring three top-15s at Fox Raceway (13th) in Pala, California, at Washougal (Wash.) (15th), and Budds Creek (15th) in Mechanicsville, Maryland.
'It's year four in Supercross with my Phoenix Racing Honda team, and I'm confident this is my year to lock myself in everyone's mind as a real threat to the top end of the class,' Park, 23, said in a news release. 'Racing through the end of 2024 in WSX has me firing on all cylinders and well prepared for the season to come.'
Park will be joined by teammate Nick Romano and more than 60 other riders in the division.
'Having moved from the 2024 to the 2025 Honda CRF250R last month, I'm so excited to race the latest package the team has developed,' Park continued. 'I'm motivated and ready to put myself in the top-five. Bring on Tampa.'

Lachlan Turner wins Thunder Valley Women's Pro Motocross, extends points lead

Lachlan Turner took the lead from holeshot winner Charli Cannon on Lap 2 of the third round of the Women's Pro Motocross (WMX) season and held the advantage until the checkers waved over Thunder Valley Motocross Park in Lakewood, Colorado. With her second win of the season, Turner extended her championship lead to 13 points. 'I love the rough tracks,' Turner told Peacock's Jason Thomas after the race. 'The rougher, the better. But they did smooth out the track a lot. It was fun battling with Charli. It was amazing.' In one of the most competitive WMX races of the season, Cannon's early pace and Turner's charge separated the two riders from the field. Cannon beat Kyleigh Stalling into the first turn with Turner and Mikayla Nielsen in tow before two separate battles for the podium developed. As they pushed one another to faster speeds, Cannon and Turner amassed a significant lead over the Stalling versus Nielsen battle. For the first five laps, Cannon matched Turner's pace, but after being slowed in the heavy ruts that developed with a full day's activity, Cannon lost eight seconds over the next two laps. 'That was a tough one,' Cannon told Will Christien. 'Not riding during the week (due to finger surgery five days before the season opener), really shows. I kind of died a bit. The first few laps were good, a couple of good battles with LaLa, but my hand started falling off the handlebars in the rough bumps. That made it tricky, but considering I have a broken finger and my lack of bike time, I'm happy with second.' This battle pitted last year's American Women's Pro Motocross (WMX) champion against Australia's women's champion. Stallings and Nielsen come together on the last lap! 🫣 #ProMotocross #SMX #WMX Fireworks developed on the final lap when Stallings attempted to take the final podium position from Round 1 winner Nielsen. Stallings dove to the inside and made contact with Nielsen on the steepest uphill section of the track. Both riders fell, and given the severity of the incline, it took them a minute to get their bikes upright. Riding with injuries from last week's round in Hangtown, a surprised Jordan Jarvis passed the two downed riders, noting that Nielsen was remounting her Honda as she blasted between the two bikes. That was all the encouragement Jarvis needed to beat Nielsen to the line by two seconds. Incredibly, the rider who began the weekend with a cast on her left hand, Jarvis, secured the final podium position. 'I had some bad luck last week, getting landed on,' Jarvis said. 'I'm not feeling great right now, by any means, but I was able to stay just close enough to be able to capitalize on their mistake. I'm not entirely sure what happened. Not the way I wanted to podium, but I'll take it.' Nielsen finished fourth with Jamie Astudillo rounding out the top five. Stallings finished just outside that mark in sixth.
