He charged from a subpar start caused by the Plessinger and Mcelrath tangle to win Round 13 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. Sexton closed the points gap between him and Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha’s Cooper Webb to 12. Webb finished second behind Sexton, while Suzuki Progressive Ecstar rider Ken Roczen, who got the holeshot and led most of the main, ended up third. “It’s time to make or break. I felt great all day, and that’s how you do it: one, one, one, one [fastest qualifier in both sessions, heat race win, Main Event win]. I’m looking forward to the next race, but today was awesome. Good, dry track, not like last weekend, and I’m feeling good on the bike. It’s been fun and today was a good step in the right direction.” – Chase Sexton     In the 250 East and West battle, it was a 17-year-old rider from New Zealand who dominated the race. Monster Energy Star Yamaha’s Cole Davies rode a perfect race, going around his teammate Haiden Deegan for the win. Deegan settled for second, while Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s RJ Hampshire is now tied for the overall points lead with Seth Hammaker finishing third.   “I literally grew up watching all the guys that I’m racing right now. It’s a big stage out here, a lot of people watching, but I just focus on myself. Two in a row, I’m stoked. It’s been a long journey to get where I am. To Will – you get to keep your hair, mate. That’s two. So he gets to keep his hair, doesn’t get shaved, so he’s safe. I’m stoked, big thanks to the whole Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha team and my mechanic Lach [Lachlan Mills]. We’ve been putting in the work… The whole group around me is just very, very good and striving to be the best they can. So I’m just stoked for everyone around me.” – Cole Davies, on the podium. chase sexton, cooper webb, mmf live, mxmessiah live, philly supercross, supercross Share this post Leave a Reply Cancel reply Logged in as mx_admin.

Aaron Plessinger Wins an Absolute Foxborough Mudder

Aaron Plessinger Wins an Absolute Foxborough Mudder April 7, 2025 Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment Foxborough, Mass. (April 6, 2025) Red Bull KTM’s Aaron Plessinger wins the muddiest race in recent supercross racing history! The rain poured, and the mud got thicker than ever. He mentioned during the post-race conference about how nervous he was before the gate drop, not knowing what was going to happen in the race, but he ended up getting a good start and managing the whole race with Quadlock Honda Racing’s Shane McElrath behind him. McElrath was impressive the whole race, earned his career-first heat race win, and earned his first career-first podium for second place. But it was Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha rider Cooper Webb who surprised everyone as he made some late race moves when from position seven he made his way to third place, passing Chase Sexton and Ken Roczen during the last two laps. “In these kinds of conditions you don’t know what can happen. It’s so stressful when you’re leading the championship. You’re hoping your motorcycle makes it first of all, and then just getting into the Main you’re like, ‘All right I can breathe a little bit.’ These are bummer conditions. Nobody truly, I don’t think, wants to race in this unless you’re [Aaron Plessinger], maybe…. [Early on] I had a great pace… then I get excited, and I fall. So, I get up, and you kind of go into panic mode, and then you fall again. So, I fell twice and finally was like, ‘All right, I’m going to just calm down, I’ll take the points loss, but let’s minimize the points, let’s at least get as far up as we can.’ And that’s what happened. I shut my brain off and it’s crazy what happens. You start sending it, you start finding a flow. I don’t know what happened the last lap, I just jumped all the jumps, like my buddy says. It was cool. I’m stoked to be up here on the podium again.” – Cooper Webb     In 250 East SX Class racing, Honda’s Chance Hymas moved into the lead half way into the 8minutes plus one lap Main Event. Rounding up inside the podium were Phoenix Racing Honda’s Cullin Park and Dirtb Bike Depot’s Gage Linville who both earned their first career podium. “This means so much to me. We’ve been working our butts off to get here. I took a step back this week and just tried to appreciate where I’m at. I wasn’t even planning on racing [a previous round] Tampa, with my knee [injury]. And just to be in this position – I know these are completely different circumstances, but you know, to finish first you’ve got to finish, first. I’m so excited to have the team behind me; they’ve been working their butts off and they’ve been believing in me since Day 1. I can’t thank those guys enough. And thank you to the fans for sticking it out in the rain… [regarding his outside gate pick] Sometimes you’ve got to take chances and right now I’ve got nothing to lose. Sometimes you take a shot like that and it doesn’t work, sometimes it works; and for me I’d say it worked. I feel like, at our level, everything’s so close you’ve got to be willing to take chances like that.” – Chance Hymas “I’ll tell you what, I was getting a little too excited there with two laps to go. Something about Foxborough and just ripping some good starts. I nailed the start and [Trainer] Heath Harrison [had] told me, ‘You get a start, you ride a good first few laps, and you’ve got a podium,’ and honestly I kind of half believed him. And then I ripped a start and I said [to myself], ‘I’ve got this. I’m in the hunt tonight.’ I just stuck to my laps… My mechanic, with two laps to go, [signaled] ‘Just bring it home.’ Those were probably the two slowest laps I’ve ever done in my career, and they got the job done.” – Cullin Park “I’m pretty speechless right now. I don’t even have words. As a kid you always dream for this moment and for it to come true is just unreal. I’m just really speechless right now.” – Gage Linville   Share this post Leave a Reply Cancel reply Logged in as mx_admin. Edit your profile. Log out?

Cooper Webb stole the win at Arlington Supercross February 24, 2025 Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment Arlington, Texas, (February 23, 2025) Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb won the Triple Crown at Arlington Supercross with a 6-1-1 score. The overall win happened when Red Bull KTM rider Chase Sexton crashed after hitting the rear tire of Webb in an attempt to pass for the lead during the last lap of Race 3. Sexton, who did not need to win the last race to win the overall, remounted on the bike and ended up 5th in the race; his 3-2-5 scores still got him the third overall. Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki’s Ken Roczen took second overall with a 1-5-3 race score. The 450 Overall Championship has Webb as the sole red plate holder heading into Daytona next weekend. The Western Divisional 250SX Class had Monster Energy Yamaha Racing’s Haiden Deegan win his second of the season, hence grabbing the overall championship points away from Red Bull KTM’s Julien Beaumer. Muc-Off FXR ClubMX Yamaha’s Coty Schock, who got 2-4-6 scores, won his first career podium with a second overall behind Deegan. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Michael Mosiman took the final podium spot with 3-2-7 finishes. chase sexton, cooper webb, supercross Share this post Leave a Reply Cancel reply Logged in as mx_admin.

Malcolm Stewart wins his first in Tampa Supercross.

Malcolm Stewart wins his first in Tampa Supercross. February 9, 2025 Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment Tampa, Fla., (February 8, 2025) The crowd erupted inside Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, when Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart crossed the finish line to earn his career-first 450SX Class victory at Round 5 of the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship! It was the 32-year-old’s 109th race start in his 15 years of professional racing! He mentioned in the post-race podium interview, “Stewart’s back in the whoops, y’all,” when asked about what led to his historic win to be the first brothers to win a race in the premier class 450! Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb pushed forward to second place, passing Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Jason Anderson and Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki’s Ken Roczen midway during the race. Roczen, who seems to be settled in third spot, collided with a lapper, which resulted in a crash and DNF after the chain in his bike derailed. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton, who got the holeshot and led most of the Tampa Supercross, crashed hard in the whoops and handed the lead to Stewart with just a few minutes remaining. Sexton recovered quickly, still in second, but was off the pace and dropped back to fifth in the final laps. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac injured his foot in qualifying and raced only to salvage points; he finished in 17th position. “Big bro, you know. You’ve done this a long time, racing Daytona and Jacksonville, and you know there’s something about that hometown crowd, buddy. I don’t know if they were twisting the throttle for me, because, for a split second, I was like, ‘Alright, I need to get this done.’ I was feeling really good, and you know what, Stewart is back in the whoops, y’all! ” – Malcolm Stewart, being interviewed by his brother and former Supercross champion James Stewart from the broadcast booth.    In the 250 East Class, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Max Anstie grabbed the holeshot, followed by teammates Pierce Brown and Daxton Bennick. Brown made a pass on Anstie for the lead and was riding really well until he crashed in the whoops and caused the stoppage of the race. The race was red flagged; hence, a staggered race start happened. In the end it was Anstie and Bennick who went first and second, while the injured Monster Energy Pro Circuit rider Cameron McAdoo finished third after a hard-fought battle with his teammate Seth Hammaker. “Pierce [Brown] went down. I hate to see that. He was riding so well and just spun and ended up going over the bars… After that, it kind of took the wind out of my sails. They red-flagged it; I and [teammate] Dax were up front, and it was like a day at the Goat Farm [Training Facility]. And honestly, I was like, ‘Let’s not do anything silly right now.’ The whoops were really tricky, and it’s round one, so you’re always a little more nervous.” – Max Anstie   Share this post Leave a Reply Cancel reply Logged in as mx_admin.

THE LAWRENCE BROTHERS’ SECRET TO SUCCESS

THE LAWRENCE BROTHERS’ SECRET TO SUCCESS January 31, 2025 Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment THE LAWRENCE BROTHERS’ SECRET TO SUCCESS The Lawrence brother’s easygoing kind of nature sets them apart from the rest of their competition. Aside from their natural ability and talent, what really made them unique was their childlike nature and ability to handle pressure. I interviewed both of them during the Anaheim 2 press day and was amazed at how they seemed to be very accommodating and smiling, not showing any signs of stress, which later on was disclosed in the public that they had an issue with their former agent. It was January 23rd when a statement from the Lawrence brothers came out against their agent Mirtl, firing him as their agent because of fraudulent activities and misuse of business funds for personal gains, and on the 24th, during Anaheim 2 press day, I interviewed both the Lawrence brothers, and you can sense that they are not stressed about the whole issue and are focused on their riding and racing. Check out a glimpse of who truly are the Lawrence brothers. In the interview, I get to see some very important family values that are somehow very unique and different from most families. Here are those: Primitive Eastern-style family culture. They have a very close and culturally different family from most family cultures in the Western region of the globe. Most families, when their children become adults or turn 18, have to be on their own; there is that cultural pressure for them to leave home and live under the shadow of their parents. They kind of want to explore the world on their own. That’s when some end up with the wrong crowd, peers, and sometimes get out of focus with training, hence have their careers fade sooner than later. In the interview, both Jett and Hunter are clearly very particular about how their successes were because of the accountability and relationship among them. Their dad, who seems to be a disciplinarian, is their hero. The example of Mr. Lawrence, the dad, is very much appreciated and is clearly referenced by the brothers as to why they made it to the highest level of the sport. That is not a common Western culture today anymore. 2. Genuinely grateful. The Lawrence family story has been heard by all by now. But to say they are grateful for the blessings they received and continuously receive is an understatement. How do they do that? In my interview with Hunter Lawrence, he can still vividly share their trips to Southeast Asia, like their trip to Indonesia. Them racing the MXGP and even visiting different cultures have made them emotionally mature and understanding. They have a broader understanding of different cultures from around the world, which made them unique and genuinely grateful. They don’t take their blessings for granted because they have not just experienced hardships themselves but have also seen poverty from their trips around the world. With that mindset and worldview, they are extremely grateful to be in the US and accepted here. 3. Pressure proof! Both the Lawrence brothers, with their unique culture and perspective as discussed above, handle pressure much less than their competition. That’s just it. Their support system is solid with their family behind them. Their worldview is different; that’s why they understand why, with haters, they just see it as a cultural indifference, and with the experience they had from Australia to Europe and now the US, they are in the best mindset a champion can ever have to be able to sustain top performance despite the pressure from sponsors, sports stakeholders, etc.   During this interview, I realize what separates the Lawrence Brothers from the rest of the field is their unique family culture and worldview, which makes them pressure-proof or gives them the ability to perform well despite the pressure that comes from racing at the highest level.   Written by Sam Tamayo hunter lawrence, jett lawrence, lawrence brothers, supercross Share this post Leave a Reply Cancel reply Logged in as mx_admin.

Ken Roczen gets the red plate for Suzuki

Ken Roczen gets the red plate for Suzuki January 30, 2025 Photo Credit: Ken Roczen FB Ken Roczen gets the red plate for Suzuki! How in the world does a privateer or semi-factory rider on a Suzuki end up with a red plate after three rounds of the 2025 Monster Energy Supercross? When was the last time a yellow bike had the red plate in the premier 450 Supercross class? The answer is there’s a German rider named Ken Roczen who is the most consistent rider in the series thus far. The Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki rider posted on his social media on January 28 a picture of his motorcycle with the red plate, which means he is the series’ overall points leader. With three rounds in, there have been three red plate holders as well, such as Red Bull KTM rider Chase Sexton and Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rider Eli Tomac. Here’s what Ken Roczen has to say about having the red plate after getting second place in the Anaheim 2 Supercross last weekend:   “It’s an absolute dream. After I was in position last week for a possible third, I came back [to the truck and] was thinking it would be so rad to share a red plate with Eli. And just to have a red plate, it’s been a long time, especially on a Suzuki. I wasn’t able to make [a win] happen tonight. This was an absolutely insane race. We were in a battle the whole way, and it was awesome. With the rain and how hardpacked the dirt was, it was very slippery out there, but I just kept my focus the whole way… After making a [first] pass stick on Jason I hit neutral, and he got me back. I was bummed because it’s a lot of work to get by.” – Ken Roczen, regarding a comment that he moved into the points lead for the first time since the opening round of 2022.
