STILL THE ONE
Australia’s Jett Lawrence joined a very exclusive club of elite Honda riders when he repeated as champion in the 250 Class, winning 9 of the 12 rounds in this summer’s Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. Lawrence joins a club that was founded way back in 1974–’75, when Marty Smith won the first 125cc titles, and includes Micky Dymond (’86–’87), Doug Henry (’93–’94), and Steve Lamson (’95–’96). But Jett won’t get the chance to see if he can become Honda’s first three-peat champion in this class, as he’s already committed to moving up to the 450 Class next summer.

We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
