Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship

#1 in 450 Class | Eli Tomac | TBD

As mentioned, the Colorado native will have the #1 plate on during both AMA Supercross and Motocross, although he appears to be on a supercross-only contract at the moment. But if he lines up, Tomac will be #1 after claiming his fourth premier class Pro Motocross title in 2022.

#1 In 250 Class | Jett Lawrence | Not Defending Title

The two-time 250 Class Champion will not be looking for a third Pro Motocross title as he is expected to race the 450 Class next summer. If he races the 450 Class, he will be #18, which is his current career number he earned following the 2020 AMA SX and MX calendar year, and he stuck with in 2021 following his maiden professional title last summer.

Other Notes:

New Career Numbers

There was only one new career number earned this year.

#28 Christian Craig

Christian Craig earned a new career number and decided to stick with #28, which he raced with in 2022 when he won his maiden 250SX title.

Lost Career Numbers

There were no career numbers lost this year.

Career Numbers Held

The following riders asked for their number to be held, despite not scoring enough points to retain their respective career numbers:

Adam Cianciarulo (#9) | Injured early in SX
Zach Osborne (#16) | Did not race either SX or MX in ‘22
Broc Tickle (#20) | Did not race either SX or MX in ‘22
Chad Reed (#22) | Did not race either SX or MX in ‘22
Colt Nichols (#45) | Injured early in SX
Justin Hill (#46) | Injured before season, did not race either SX or MX in ‘22

Other Number Highlights:

#4 |Not Taken

#5 Ryan Dungey

At the moment, Dungey is not expected to race in 2023. However, due to his strong season post-retirement in Pro Motocross this summer, he has #5 available to him if he would lineup at all in ’23.

#8 | Not Taken

#13 | Not Taken

#26 Alex Martin

Martin announced his retirement following the conclusion of the Pro Motocross season, but if he were to lineup in 2023 for a race or two (maybe his hometown Spring Creek National?) he would have #26 still available to use.

#29 Nate Thrasher

Nate Thrasher was the first rider in total points scored on the year without a career number and decided to skip #13. The AMA lets riders skip this number due to superstition. Colt Nichols was the last rider to race as #13 in 2020. Thrasher will be #29 in 2023.

#33 Pierce Brown

After competing in 2022 as #44, Brown will be #33 in 2023.

#43 Levi Kitchen

After a rookie season where he was banged up in both supercross and motocross, the Washington native secures #43 for next year—four spots off of the number he really wants (#47).

#54 Nicholas Romano

Romano finished 16th in the 250 Class in his debut Pro Motocross season, going from #411 to #54 for '23.

#59 Robbie Wageman

After two years straight of finishing in the perfect position to not earn a career number but lucking into having #69 in consecutive seasons, Wageman bumps down ten numbers to #59 for 2023.

#64 Carson Brown

Brown raced as #910 in the 250SX West Region of supercross and on a YZ250 two-stroke at his hometown Washougal National and earned #64 in 2023, one number off of what Brown raced as in 2021 (#65).

#69 Phil Nicoletti

The usually grumpy Phil Nicoletti had to laugh when he saw his race number for 2023.

#67 Cullin Park

After racing as #140 in his first season as a professional, the 2022 AMA Supercross 250SX  Rookie of the Year will be #67 for his sophomore season in 2023.

#72 Matthew LeBlanc

In his rookie Pro Motocross season, LeBlanc finished 21st, going from #329 in 2022 to #72 in 2023.

#75 Ryder DiFrancesco

The California native competed in several Pro Motocross races this year and earned enough points to grab #75 for next year when he lines up.

#79 Dylan Walsh

Walsh competed in several rounds in the opening swing of the 250SX West Region Championship and the final two rounds of the 250 Class of Pro Motocross after spending the time between the series overseas racing in Europe. Walsh will go from #101 to #79 for 2023.

#80 Josh Gilbert

Gilbert raced a handful of rounds in the 450 Class of Pro Motocross, finishing 20th in the standings and earning #80 for next year.

#86 Josiah Natzke

Natzke competed in the first four rounds of the 250 Class this summer and finished 24th in points, earning a national number for the upcoming season.

#88 Guillem Farres

The Spanish native raced two rounds of Pro Motocross with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing and earned national #88 for 2023 after two solid races inside the top 15 overall.

#89 Kaeden Amerine

In his rookie season of AMA SX and MX, Amerine rode well enough to bump his #432 to #89 for next year.

#90 Tristan Lane

Lane is another triple digit privateer rider who rode well enough to claim a national number in 2023. Lane’s #90 will be the first national number of his professional career.

#98 Geran Stapleton

Stapleton raced with #914 in 2022 and was the highest scoring number that earned a national number for 2023.

#99 Hardy Munoz

Munoz earned 30 total points in the 250SX East Region and in 250 Class Pro Motocross combined (23 in SX, 7 in MX), and therefore was awarded the final national number for 2023.

New Year, Same Number

The following riders have not earned career numbers but have lucked into earning the same number in consecutive years.

#48 Cameron McAdoo

The Iowa native secured his #48 from 2022 again for 2023. This weekend, he will also securing his woman Maddie Salute to be his wife. Congrats to the very soon to be Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo!
