Supercross 2025 450 results, highlights, finish at Salt Lake City: Chase Sexton wins race, Cooper Webb title
Chase Sexton took the lead of the Monster Energy Supercross finale at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, briefly considered bunching up the field, and then decided to rocket to a near 10-second advantage over the field. Sexton scored a career-best seventh Supercross win on the season; unfortunately was denied the championship by two points despite winning two more races than Cooper Webb because of a pair of results outside the top five. Sexton won four of the last five rounds of the 2025 season, but results of sixth in the second round in San Diego and in the mud of Foxborough, Massachusetts, when Webb finished third in both, sealed his fate. Click here for a full recap of Salt Lake City Webb entered the round needing only to finish fifth or better to secure his third championship. He finished fourth, 5.4 seconds ahead of sixth-place Aaron Plessinger. With this title, Webb became the seventh rider to win three or more championships. His two-point gap to Sexton made this the closest third title in history, displacing the previous closest of three between Jeff Stanton over Damon Bradshaw in 1992. That season, Stanton entered the round with a six-point deficit that he eclipsed. Webb's five victories in the 450 division came at Round 6 in Detroit, Round 7 in Arlington, Texas, Round 10 in the Triple Crown format race in Birmingham, Alabama, Round 11 in Seattle, Washington, and perhaps most critically, Round 15 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, when he stalled Sexton's momentum and denied his rival an opportunity to fully control his fate. Relive the 450 Heats The Webb versus Sexton battle was not the only one with a dramatic impact on the points standings. Malcolm Stewart and Justin Cooper battled for the third position in the standings, one that is often accompanied by a massive bonus. These two also competed for the final podium position last week in Denver, Colorado, with Cooper finishing third to earn his second consecutive podium and Stewart narrowly missing in fourth. In Salt Lake City, Stewart completed Lap 1 in seventh and was forced to ride through the field just as he had in Denver. He passed Cooper for third on Lap 17 and wasted little time in getting around Webb for second. Cooper locked on his back tire and did not allow Stewart to gain much of an advantage. Stewart finished second to score his third podium and seventh top-five of the season. Cooper finished third for the third straight week, recording his fourth podium of the season and ninth top-five. He wanted to respect his teammate Webb's championship hope, but when Stewart made the pass, Cooper had to follow. Joey Savatgy rounded out the top five for the second time this season. He was also fifth in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Savatgy ended the season 11th in the standings despite missing three rounds due to an injury suffered in Indianapolis.

Supercross 2025 results: 450 highlights, finishing order, at Denver, Chase Sexton wins, narrows title gap
Chase Sexton entered Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado, aware that he was not in control of his fate for the first time in the 2025 season. The only thing he could do was win the race and keep the pressure on Cooper Webb. When he first walked the track on Press Day on Friday and saw the whoops, he knew he could do his part. Sexton has outperformed Webb in this section all season. Sexton was in contention for the top spot during the first lap, but was forced to be conservative at the end of the first rhythm sections when Malcolm Stewart cross-jumped Cooper Webb and forced Webb to cross-jump Sexton. That fired Sexton up. In post-race interviews, he said he 'saw red', which incidentally was the color of Webb's gear in Denver. When Sexton caught Webb for the lead on Lap 4, Sexton made his bike wide, bumped Webb slightly, and surged into first place. From then on, Sexton didn't look back and ultimately scored another dominant win — this time at 8.624 seconds — to keep his championship hope alive. Click here for a full recap of Denver Webb led the race's first three laps despite battling an illness throughout the day. When Sexton caught and passed him, he knew finishing second would put him in a solid position entering Salt Lake City, but he had Stewart and his teammate Justin Cooper to contend with in the late stages of the feature. When Cooper got into third, he was less enthusiastic to pass Webb than Stewart had been, and Webb gutted out the final three laps to finish second. Webb needs 16 points next week to clinch the title, which means he can finish anywhere sixth or better. In 16 rounds of 2025, Webb has finished worse than fourth only once when he was eighth in the second Anaheim race. Relive the 450 Heats Cooper was a good teammate and did not pressure Webb overly in the final three laps, knowing that the two points he would take from Webb would change the clinch scenario for Salt Lake City. He also had Stewart to worry about, as both riders seriously wanted to score their third podium of the season. Cooper held onto the spot and finished third to earn back-to-back podiums for the first time in his career. Stewart grabbed the holeshot with the Webb and Sexton battle developing around him. Webb chose a better line through the bowl turn leading to the finish jump and took the top spot on Lap 1. Sexton got around Stewart on Lap 2, but Stewart did not allow Webb to gain much distance on him. Meanwhile, Cooper was slicing through the field and caught Stewart with three laps remaining. He kept the pressure on Cooper and Webb, but nearly spun out in the final corner and settled for fourth. Aaron Plessinger finished fifth and scored his eighth top-five of the season. He is 16 points behind Stewart in the contest to finish among the top five in Supercross points.
