SMX Next champion Alexander Fedortsov to turn pro in Pala, California
Alexander Fedortsov, the 18-year-old 2025 SMX Next Champion, will turn pro at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, racing for ClubMX. Fedortsov peaked when it mattered most in the SMX Next program. After running well but finishing outside the top 15 in four of the five rounds, he won the season finale over Landen Gordon and Enzo Temmerman. He secured the title in the winner-take-all scenario for the developmental series. Fedortsov was the fastest qualifier in four of the five events, and although he finished last in the Daytona Supercross race, he had a four-second lead on the competition before suffering a flat tire while leading. 'I really have nothing more to prove to myself in the amateur ranks, and I feel I can do a good job for the team starting with the outdoor season this year,' Fedortsov said in a news release. 'It's a bit of a risk but one I am willing to take at this point in my career. The Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX team has always been supportive of my decisions, and I am very thankful for their support into the pros. 'It is actually a dream come true for me, it is what every kid dreams about and now I get to actually do it.' Fedortsov has raced since the age of six, and his ability to look beyond any disappointment this week to eventual success is one of the key elements that make him appealing to ClubMX. 'It is rare to have talents in both Motocross and Supercross at such a young age,' said ClubMX team owner Brandon Haas. 'Alex impressed me every step of the way and bringing home the SMX Next Championship was icing on the cake. He takes direction well, he follows the program and has made believers out of the entire team. We talked internally about the risk vs. reward by moving him up but it was an easy decision. He has a lot of confidence and is totally unfazed by the competition. He is going to add one more layer of excitement to the outdoor season.' Fedortsov has trained at the Chesterfield, South Carolina, facility since early 2022. The length of his contract was unspecified, but described as 'long-term.'

Haiden Deegan Sends Message with Dominant Arlington Victory
It's not where you start; it's where you finish. That rang truest for Haiden Deegan in Arlington. In a nearly perfect sweep, the 1-1-2 Triple Crown finishes gave Deegan the overall in AT&T Stadium. However, every start at the gate drop was outside the top five. Deegan proved across all three Main Events that he could climb through the field and either win or be a threat for the victory. 'Just keep working and keep getting better,' said the Temecula, Cali. native racing for Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing. 'It's all I can work on. Here we've got the troops on the tank for Military Appreciation Week. Love the troops. Thank you guys for your support. This one's for you.' Deegan, 19, earned his fourth career 250SX victory in his third season at the class level. Coty Schock continued to display his talent week after week. Quietly moving up the charts each race, he secured his first podium and best career SuperMotocross finish in his 10th year of AMA Pro competition. 'I was a nobody, and now I'm somebody,' celebrated the Dover, Dela. rider. 'Everyone with the team, we're broadcasted as a big team that does a lot with a little. It's a little shop based out of South Carolina. We put in the work, and it's cool to finally put it on the box for these guys.' Schock, 27, also gave his team their first career podium finish across the organization. Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX Yamaha currently has two riders competing in the 250SX West division with Schock and Jett Reynolds, while four others are listed as 250SX East competitors. 'It's surreal,' he continued. 'My dad flew out for this round, and really wish my mom was here.' The second overall position was tied in the Olympic-style point structure. Schock would earn the higher position after beating Michael Mosiman in the third Main Event. Mosiman, with his 10th career podium, waited nearly three years, dating back to April of 2022 when he podiumed at Denver. 'Man, there's a sense of relief,' said the Sebastopol, Cali. native. 'So much work was put in and so many people that believed in me, even at times when I didn't myself, to get back to this place, back to the podium, have to learn how to spray champagne again. It's hard to put into words. Been in some pretty low places. Now to be here, it's great.' Jo Shimoda captured the first holeshot of the night and finished fourth overall. Garrett Marchbanks gave Kawasaki an overall top five finish. In the first 250SX Main Event, Jordon Smith crashed in the whoops coming to the white flag and did not finish. He was placed on a stretcher and escorted off track in the Alpinestars medical cart, and would not resume the other two races. The 250SX West division will race next in Round 9 of the SMX World Championship and indoor stadium season of Monster Energy AMA Supercross in Indianapolis when they combine with the East division for the first East/West showdown of 2025. Coverage at Lucas Oil Stadium begins at 7 p.m. ET on Peacock and SiriusXM Channel 85.
