Motocross 2025 450 results, highlights, finish at Thunder Valley: Jett Lawrence sweeps again
Jett Lawrence withstood pressure in both motos of Round 3 of the Pro Motocross season, Round 20 of the SuperMotocross Championship, before prevailing to sweep Thunder Valley Motocross Park in Lakewood, Colorado. While Jett was credited with leading all 16 laps of Moto 1, he was briefly passed on course by Aaron Plessinger on Lap 13, marking one of the few times during his young MX career that he has relinquished the lead while under power. In Moto 2, Jett was in fifth place at the end of Lap 1 and forced to ride through the field, which he did just shy of the halfway mark. In the second half of the race, he had to contend with Eli Tomac before the hometown hero tucked a wheel and crashed. The competition is slowly closing the gap on a rider who has every Pro Motocross overall he's entered except for last year's Round 2 in the Hangtown Motocross Classic. Click here for a recap of Thunder Valley Tomac is not prone to making mistakes, but when Jett is the competition, it forces riders to take chances they would typically avoid. Tomac knew which section of the track on which he was able to gain on Jett and get the best propulsion through the corner. He entered that corner with too much speed and was too low on the track on Lap 13. He tucked his wheel and lost seven seconds picking up his bike. Tomac had a big enough gap on third-place Justin Cooper to maintain his position and finished second overall with a 3-2. Aaron Plessinger kept his streak of top-five finishes in motos alive with results of second in the first race and fifth in Moto 2. The highlight of the round was his battle with Jett and the realization that his pace has picked up enough to allow him to challenge at the very top of the chart. In the post-race news conference, Plessinger said it's only a matter of time before he wins. Relive Moto 1 Even with his pair of top-five finishes in Thunder Valley's motos, Cooper lost a little momentum last week. On a rutty track on which it wasn't easy to pass, Cooper's sixth-place start contributed to a fifth-place finish in the first moto. He led laps 3 through 7 before getting shuffled back to third, but he lost pace once Jett and Tomac completed their passes. Hunter Lawrence rounded out the top five with fourth-place results in both motos. Hunter led the first lap of Moto 2, lost the position to Cooper on Lap 2, and was passed by Jett and Tomac on Lap 6. Once there, he finished ahead of Plessinger but gave up too many points in Moto 1 to score ahead of the Red Bull rider in the overall standings.

2025 SuperMotocross tickets on sale, track maps revealed
Tickets for the 2025 SuperMotocross (SMX) Championship races are currently on-sale for SMX Priority Members and will go on sale to the general public beginning February 4, 2025 at The three-round SuperMotocross Championship kicks off September 6 at zMax Dragway in Concord, North Carolina, followed by Round 2 at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 13, and concluding at The Strip at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway on September 20. This will be the third time the playoffs have kicked off at zMax in the three-year history of the playoffs. This is the second time the series has concluded in Las Vegas, while St. Louis represents a new venue. Jett Lawrence (450s) and Haiden Deegan(250s) are each two-time defending champions of the SMX Championship. Additionally, the SuperMotocross League revealed track maps for the three venues. zMax Dragway 2025 SuperMotocross Round 1, zMax Dragway Feld Entertainment Located near Charlotte Motor Speedway, zMax Dragway's layout takes advantage of the four-wide dragstrip and land adjacent to the track to create a massive layout. The track features a split lane that always creates excitement as the two lanes come together. Lawrence won Round 1 in 2024 via a tiebreaker with Eli Tomac. Each rider won one of the two motos; Lawrence was successful in Race 2. Sweeping the two motos, Deegan won the 250 race over his principal 2025 rival, Julien Beaumer. North Carolina is the East Coast destination for the SMX playoffs. The Dome at America's Center The Dome at America's Center will host its first SMX playoff race but has a long history of Monster Energy Supercross competition after hosting races since 1996. The unique feature of this track is that it not only utilizes the full footprint of the stadium but will leave the floor and continue into the adjacent Exhibition Hall. This large footprint allows track builders to create a motocross-inspired course. St. Louis represents the Midwest in the playoffs in 2025. Last year, this round was contested at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, with Hunter Lawrence (1-3) victorious in the 450 division and Deegan sweeping the 250 class once again. The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Las Vegas was the host city of last year's SMX Playoff finale as dirt bike racing returned to a venue with deep roots in the sport. Like zMax Dragway, the track boasts four dragstrip lanes, so track designers have plenty of room to create a unique course. That is where the similarity between the two tracks ends, however, with the course leaving the strip at the top, meandering behind a second set of grandstands, and continuing into the bottom of the layout. Lawrence secured his second SMX title in style by sweeping the two 450 motos. In the 250 division, Pierce Brown earned his first series win with finishes of second and first in the two motos. Deegan won Moto 2 and finished second in the finale, which was more than sufficient to wrap up his title. SMX Playoff Travel Packages A variety of travel packages will be available to fans for the SMX World Championship Final.
