THE 2025 YAMAHA YZ®s

The fastest two letters in moto! From the class-defining performance of the YZ250F and YZ450F motocrossers, to the raw thrill of our two-stroke rippers, the iconic 2025 Yamaha YZ models are designed to dominate in the dirt.

WELCOME

elcome to the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship Finals, fueled by Monster Energy. America is where the world comes to race, and we are thrilled that you are here!

Last year’s landmark inaugural season saw two of the sport’s youngest and brightest stars cement their place in the history books. At just 17, Haiden Deegan earned Rookie of the Year and captured the 250cc World Championship, while Australian sensation Jett Lawrence, at 20, became the ﬁrst-ever 450cc World Champion in the premier class, also as a rookie.

seeded into the playoff rounds. As in other post-season formats, athletes will be competing for the sport’s ultimate World Championship title, and the prestige that comes from overcoming adversity through a 28-round, dual-discipline (indoor and outdoor) season, plus these two SuperMotocross Playoffs and SuperMotocross World Championship ﬁnale.

Showing the world this was no ﬂuke, Haiden and Jett have both been dominant in their 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship campaigns. Deegan came in second in the Eastern Regional 250SX Supercross Championship and most recently cemented a dominant 250 Class Pro Motocross Championship title to boot. Lawrence secured the 450SX Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship in May, but had to bow out early in the Pro Motocross Championship while third in the standings due to an injury. As fans already know, Jett is making his triumphant return to racing right here at SuperMotocross Playoff 1 at zMAX Dragway in Concord, NC to defend his title.

In addition to Haiden and Jett, the SuperMotocross World Championship Finals will feature the best athletes in the world as the top 20 in combined Supercross and Pro Motocross points were automatically

The SuperMotocross World Championship is the premier off-road motorcycle racing series in the world and as such pays out more total prize money than any off-road motorcycle racing series on the planet –an incredible $5.5 million will be awarded throughout these ﬁnal three post-season races.

While we welcome you to attend all three rounds of the SuperMotocross World Championship Finals, we understand that’s not always feasible. So, as a reminder we will also be streaming and broadcasting all three events domestically across Peacock, NBC, USA Network, CNBC, and NBC Sports digital platforms and internationally via the SuperMotocross Video Pass.

RACE 2.0 SERIES

SMX 101

With more than 100 years of combined experience in producing and promoting successful championships, Feld Motor Sports and MX Sports Pro Racing have united to create the world’s ﬁrst SuperMotocross World Championship, combining the technical precision of stadium supercross racing with the all-out speed and endurance of outdoor motocross on the world’s most challenging tracks, all leading to the sport’s ultimate prize.

The SuperMotocross World Championship uniﬁes the unique

elements of both seasons—athletes, race teams, sponsors, organizers, and (most importantly) the fans— and combines the best of both forms of racing: the profound technical skill and precision needed to excel in supercross, and the sheer speed and endurance required for success in Pro Motocross.

This new form of racing is deﬁned by the world’s most challenging tracks, designed to test athletes both physically and mentally. Race teams and manufacturers will be faced with the new challenge of ﬁnding the right balance in their bike and suspension setups for

combined stadium and outdoor track elements.

The combined 31-event season includes 17 Supercross rounds (January 6–May 11), 11 Pro Motocross rounds (May 25–August 24), 2 SuperMotocross Playoff rounds (September 7 & 14) and the SuperMotocross World Championship (September 21).

Both AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross have crowned individual champions, meaning points are scored independently within each championship. A combined points tally is then accrued throughout both series, from which the top 20 point earners each from the 450cc and 250cc divisions, over the course of the first 28 races of the season, will automatically qualify and be seeded into the SuperMotocross World Championship. Riders who finish from 21st to 30th in combined points will compete for the final two positions of the 22-rider field in a Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) race at each of the two Playoff rounds. If a seeded, top 20 athlete is unable to compete in an event, an additional opportunity will be made available for a provisional racer to qualify through the Last Chance Qualifier. Additionally, any racer outside the top 30 in combined points who also won a Supercross Main Event or Pro Motocross moto will also be eligible to compete in the LCQ race for the 21st and 22nd position.

POINTS RESET POINTS SYSTEM

The point system for the SuperMotocross World Championship will be unique to the playoff. Points will be reset for the final three races, beginning with 25 points for the top seed, 22 for the second seed, 20 for the third seed, and 18 for the fourth, followed by single-point denominations through the 20th seed. All racers outside the top 20 in combined points will begin the playoff rounds with zero points.

Playoff 1 will feature the same point structure (25-1), while Playoff 2 will pay out double points (50-2). The SuperMotocross World Championship at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will pay out triple points (75-3), guaranteeing an unpredictable outcome for the title.

The SuperMotocross World Championship will operate under a twomoto format for both the 450 and 250 divisions. Each moto will be 20 minutes plus one lap, in which Olympic scoring will determine an overall ﬁnishing position for each round. Championship points will be awarded in accordance with each ﬁnishing order.

THE RIDERS

THE TEAMS

The riders of the SuperMotocross World Championship are elite professional athletes at the very top of their game. This is the pinnacle of the sport, and riders from all over the world vie to earn a spot on the line. To get here is tough, too, as you must qualify into the top 30 in SMX combined points to have a shot at racing in the SMX Playoffs.

SMX teams often employ multiple riders and a crew of support staff. These riders are generally referred to as factory riders, these are the athletes who have excelled enough to earn a contract to race for proven teams with big sponsors. It’s not uncommon for a team to have three or more riders on the track at the same time.

THE TRACKS

SuperMotocross Playoff 1

September 7

zMAX Dragway at Charlotte Motor Speedway

Concord, NC

Adjacent to Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC, zMAX Dragway is the perfect venue to kick off the first round of the SuperMotocross playoffs. Famous for being the world’s first four-lane dragstrip (and now for hosting the first-ever SuperMotocross playoff race in 2023) the facility offers the perfect form for SMX. The four-lane strip means more width to fit in more obstacles and corners, and then a grass area off to the side allows track builders to create a Pro Motocross section. This actually confused the riders and teams quite a bit in ’23, because they mostly expected a larger version of a Monster Energy Supercross track, but instead found sections with deep, tilled dirt and

motocross-style bumps and ruts. That makes it tricky! While everyone will be better prepared this time, the track does boast major changes for year two. The whole track winds in the opposite direction of last year, the big horseshoe turn near the drag strip start will now be made of sand, and the obstacles are completely different. The wild split start remains, though. Not only is the track itself worth a look, but the facility boasts great amenities and viewing, plus Charlotte Motor Speedway lies within the mecca of American motorsports known in simple terms as NASCAR country. Check out some race shops while you’re in the area, then settle in to enjoy a historic racing weekend.

Texas Motor Speedway

FORT WORTH, TX

The term “traditional speedway track” is beginning to enter the lexicon of SuperMotocross. For decades the Daytona Supercross stood as the only track in the SMX league built on the inﬁeld of a NASCAR track, but several new variations have popped up more recently. Texas Motor Speedway joins the ranks this year. The Fort Worth facility sits on over 1400 acres of land and is one of the largest sports facilities in the country. As a regular stop on the NASCAR Cup Series, it provides all

the modern amenities motorsports fans expect. This infield layout fits the SMX mold perfectly, with wide sweeping corners, a split whoop/ roller section, two sand sections, and an over-under bridge. At last year’s speedway race in SMX, the riders and teams really struggled to figure out if softer, motocross-style suspension or stiffer, supercross-style suspension would work best. The Texas Motor Speedway track will leave teams guessing again, and that often leads to unpredictable racing.

THE TRACKS

September 21 SuperMotocross World Championship

LAS VEGAS, NV

Following the success of the four-wide dragstrip layout at zMAX Dragway at Charlotte Motor Speedway comes another SMX track at a four-wide drag strip, this one also welcoming the sport back to Las Vegas for the ﬁrst time in ﬁve years. If you’re going to do it, do it right, and The Strip offers great seating, amenities, and more. Crowning SMX World Champions in Las Vegas is exciting enough, but the track itself has plenty of reasons to get pumped. This one offers even more room to play than zMAX, because of a larger outside section

next to the drag strip, which will offer more of that high-speed feel. The obstacles are also less busy and a little more wide open than at round 1 of the SMX playoffs, so again riders and teams will be left guessing as to what type of suspension setups will work for the weekend. To truly crown an SMX World Champion and ﬁgure out who the best all-around racer is, the track needs to offer elements of motocross and supercross. This new stop at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is the perfect way to settle the season, both on the track and off.

INSTANT TRACTION

How the SuperMotocross World Championship is changing the landscape of professional racing.

Before the ﬁrst starting gates ever dropped on the inaugural SuperMotocross World Championship fueled by Monster Energy last September, the hope was that this new collaboration between Feld Motor Sports and MX Sports Pro Racing would usher in an exciting new era in global motorsports. From the origins of each series in the early 1970s until just recently, the producers of Monster Energy Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross—the two biggest, most prestigious series in all of dirt bike

racing—had peacefully coexisted, but never really worked together on a meaningful level. This, despite the fact that they had the same riders, race teams, sponsors, and fans, for the most part. It was as if two completely different seasons existed within the calendar year, the ﬁrst being a 17-round stadium series, the second a 12-race outdoor motocross tour.

The idea of the new SuperMotocross World Championship changed all that. The two series kept their own identity and heritage, and crowned its own champions, but came together on items

PHOTOS BY ALIGN MEDIA

like a common rulebook, cooperative sponsorship packages and more. The very creation of SuperMotocross led to a much stronger television and streaming package through NBC and Peacock, as well as a huge extra payday for the riders. By working in harmony, they were able to bring together the very best riders from either series to compete in a three-race playoff worth $5 million, a huge bonus for the athletes, the race teams, and of course the fans from all over the world who follow both series. And by the time it was over, and Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence had earned himself a million-dollar bonus for winning the 450SMX Championship and Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan added a $500K bonus for taking the 250SMX crown, it was obvious that SMX was not only an immediate smash hit, but that it would have far-reaching impact across the entire sport.

Take the ﬁrst SMX Champion, for instance. Australia-born

Jett Lawrence had a remarkable 2023 season that saw him earn a second straight 250SX West Region title, then immediately moved up to the premier 450 Class for the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, where he had a perfect season, winning every race he entered. Then it was time for the SMX Playoffs: zMAX Dragway at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, and the Finals at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Jett got off to an uncertain start, as ’23 Supercross Champion Chase Sexton handed Lawrence his ﬁrst defeat ever on a 450. He

rebounded quickly, taking the win at Chicagoland, then capped his remarkable year with another win at the LA Coliseum and the ﬁrst SMX World Championship.

Lawrence kept the momentum going into 2024, claiming his ﬁrst Monster Energy Supercross title as a 450SX rookie, just as he had done last summer in outdoor motocross. All those titles led Jett’s bosses at Honda HRC to reward the 21-year-old with a long-term contract extension that’s said to be the richest the brand has ever offered a rider, and Honda has hired some very good ones over the years: Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath, Ricky Johnson, and Jeff Stanton, just to name a few.

But then Jett got hurt early in the summer when he broke his thumb in a training accident. The injury should have marked the end of his season, as AMA Pro Motocross would be over by the end of August, but Lawrence and his team now have something bigger to look forward to, namely defending his SuperMotocross World Championship. So rather than park his #1 Honda CRF450R for the rest of 2024, Jett Lawrence was back on the bike in mid-August, looking forward to the chance to end his season on a much different note than a broken thumb.

Coincidentally, Jett wasn’t the only rider who suffered a thumb injury in 2024 that would have ended his season already, if not for SuperMotocross. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing teammates Eli Tomac and Cooper Webb, each multi-time SX and MX Champions, both went to the sidelines to heal

thumb injuries, then both decided to come back before the end of AMA Pro Motocross, despite the fact that neither had any chance at the outdoor title. But the lure of the SuperMotocross World Championship Playoffs and its huge paydays have these two future AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famers back on track, much to the delight of their legions of fans around the world. Add it all up and SuperMotocross fans will have the chance to watch ﬁve different Monster Energy Supercross Champions line up in SMX ’24, as Lawrence, Tomac, and Webb will be joined by Red Bull KTM’s Chase Sexton (’23) and Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson (’18). As for AMA Pro Motocross Champions, that’s an even longer list after you add Ken Roczen, Dylan Ferrandis, Aaron Plessinger, Dean Wilson…

Another wide-reaching effect of the launch of SMX is the renewed interest in top riders from around the world looking to move to the U.S. and pursue their careers here. Sure, Grand Prix champions like Ken Roczen of Germany and Tom Vialle of France are already here, but now multi-time FIM World Champion Jorge Prado from Spain is all set to move to the U.S. as soon as the current season ends to begin preparing for a 2025 run at SX, MX, and SMX, where the Spaniard will join Jason Anderson on the Kawasaki factory team. Also waiting in the wings for a chance to move stateside are Dutch rider Kay De Wolf and Belgian brothers Lucas and Sacha Coenen, all of whom are locked in battle for this year’s MX2 Motocross World Championship.

(Top) For privateers like Fredrik Noren (47) and Ty Masterpool (81) the hefty bonus money that came with the new SMX Championship was well-deserved. (Above) ClubMX rider Phil Nicoletti made it into the ﬁnals by winning the LCQ at all three rounds. (Right) Shane McElrath’s late surge moved him up to 16th in the ﬁnal SMX tally.

Speaking of Roczen, the Progressive Insurance Suzuki rider is another multi-time AMA champion who was also dealing with an injury that might have ended his season, if not for the opportunity to take a shot at the million-dollar SMX bonus. Kenny, who won the Chicagoland round last year, ﬁnished second overall in the SuperMotocross Championship, worth a hefty $500,000 year-end bonus. We’re also seeing riders switch teams in the middle of the season, more and more, as both athletes and race teams seek the right ﬁt for the Playoffs. Max Anstie and Colt Nichols left the teams they started 2024 with in order to join Star Racing Yamaha and HEP Suzuki, respectively. There are also riders that are switching both teams and their divisions. Garrett Marchbanks has gone from a 450 rider with ClubMX Yamaha to a 250 spot with Pro Circuit Kawasaki, following in the bootsteps of Ty Masterpool, who switched from riding 450s for HBI Racing Kawasaki for a 250 spot with Pro Circuit Kawasaki. Both been tasked with trying to outpace reigning 250SMX Champion Haiden Deegan, who has been the frontrunner in the 250 Class for most of the summer, but the 18-year-old really began to assert himself in last September’s SuperMotocross World Championship. He joined Japan’s Jo Shimoda and the Australian Hunter Lawrence (Jett’s older brother) in a winnertake-all SMX showdown at the LA Coliseum, which just happened to be the site of his father Brian Deegan’s one and only 125 Supercross win 25 years earlier, as well as

numerous X Games gold medals for the action sports icon. “Dangerboy” Deegan came through with the win, the biggest of his career to date, and it helped propel the rookie into an even better second season as a professional.

The ascent of young SMX superstars like Jett Lawrence, Haiden Deegan, and Chase Sexton, as well as the ongoing success of longtime heroes like Eli Tomac, Cooper Webb, and Ken Roczen, has helped result in a growing audience for the sport. And there are already a generation of future legends in the making, rising through the ranks of the new “SMX Next” pipeline of amateur development races hosted by both Feld and MX Sports Pro Racing. The SX Futures and the Pro Motocross Combines give aspiring young athletes a chance to ride,

learn, and compete on the same racetracks as the current stars. This year the Charlotte opener will again host the 65cc World All-Stars, followed by the Supermini World All-Stars at Texas Motor Speedway, and 250 World All-Stars on The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Remember the names of the frontrunners, because many will no doubt be among the ranks of 250 and 450 SMX contenders in the very near future.

The bottom line here is the new SuperMotocross World Championship, as well as the collaboration and cooperation between Feld and MX Sports Pro Racing, are already paying huge dividends for the riders, our race teams, and our growing audience of fans from all over the world. Our collective future has never looked so bright!

(Top) Hunter Lawrence had the 250 championship in sight before an injury knocked him out of the SuperMotocross World Championship. (From left) Chase Sexton emerged as the winner at Charlotte over his then-Honda teammate Jett Lawrence, but the last two rounds would go Jett’s way, resulting in a million-dollar bonus as the first SuperMotocross World Champion.

made by the dedicated hands of those who work at Arai, have shown examples of supreme for decades.

The numerous improvements by their experienced hands, and personal desire to further the protection of riders’ heads, are among the many unique reasons Arai helmets perform the way they do.

From our very ﬁrst helmet to those we make today, rider protection remains our ﬁrst priority, and we at Arai shall never forget the value of what we have been seeking to protect is priceless.

et ready for an exhilarating fusion of electric mini motocross and supercross racing as the KTM Jr. Supercross takes center stage at the SMX World Championship at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The spotlight shines on the top 12 ﬁnishers from this year’s Micro-E (4-7) Limited class at the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s, in addition to the top three ﬁnishers in the 50cc Electric Open Class at

the Eastern Canadian National Amateur Championship at Deschambault, Quebec. These riders earn their coveted spot on the starting gate of the groundbreaking SMX World Championship by putting in the work and results on the largest stages of amateur racing. Here, the world will witness the crowning of the KTM Jr. SMX Champion, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the global elite, the 450 and 250 SuperMotocross World Champions. For the future supercross stars, the KTM Jr. SX Challenge has always

been a gateway to a unique world stage. The participants now ﬁnd themselves racing the KTM SX E-5, the all-electric mini-supercrosser. This experience is a one-of-a-kind journey, offering a glimpse into the world of the pros, participation in the opening ceremonies, and a heart-pounding race on the very tracks where their supercross idols carve their legacy.

The stage is set for an unforgettable display of talent, determination, and passion as KTM Jr. Supercross revs up to make its mark on the SMX World Championship scene.

Qualiﬁed KTM Jr. SMX Championship racers will take center stage at the SMX World Championship at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

SuperMotocross World All-Stars

Invitational

T

he SuperMotocross League has a dynamic lineup featuring three distinct classes of amateur racers ready to impress along with the professionals. Here’s the deal: the 65cc World All-Stars Class, consisting of riders aged 9 to 11 and anchored by the top five finishers from the 65cc class at the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s will be revving up at zMAX Dragway located at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC for Playoff 1. The Supermini World All-Stars, a group of riders aged 13 to 16 will be spearheaded by several of the top finishers from the Supermini 2 class at Loretta Lynn’s, will showcase their skills at Texas Motor

Speedway in Fort Worth at Playoff 2. And to cap it all off, the 250 World All-Stars, made up of riders aged 14 and above, and primarily comprised of the top five finishers from both the 250 Pro Sport and 250 B classes at Loretta Lynn’s, in addition to top finishers from the Supercross Futures AMA National Championship from Salt Lake City, will be competing at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway at the series finale, which will serve as the culmination of the 2024 SMX Next program with this trio of championship-awarding invitational races integrated into the race day schedule of the SuperMotocross World Championship Finals.

An AMA Featured Event title will be on the line for the fastest 65cc, Supermini, and 250cc competitors.

Each class will have a full lineup

of 22 riders and will be vying for victory in the SMX World Championship, a testament to their talent, hard work, and dedication to the sport. Just like the pros, amateur competitors from all three classes will have the chance to practice on Friday, getting to know the ins and outs of the SMX track. The real action unfolds on Saturday, with two 10-minute qualifying sessions to determine gate positions. Then, get ready for the heart-pounding Main Event, lasting 10 minutes plus one lap. This adrenaline-pumping event will take place in the afternoon at Charlotte and Texas and in the evening at the Las Vegas ﬁnale.

Get ready to see the future stars shine on the track. It’s a front-row seat to witness their skills and passion ﬁrsthand.

Amateur racing takes center stage at all three rounds of the SMX World Championship Finals.
