The biggest stars in the sport will be lining up at the Anaheim Opener in January as the 450SX Class once again promises to deliver one of the deepest fields in recent memory. Four past champions - Jason Anderson, Cooper Webb, Eli Tomac, and Chase Sexton will be fighting for another title while Ken Roczen (Germany), Dylan Ferrandis (France), Adam Cianciarulo, Justin Barcia, Aaron Plessinger, Malcolm Stewart, and Christian Craig, all compete for their first championship title. Not making it easy on anyone will be rookie sensation Jett Lawrence, fresh off an undefeated Pro Motocross season and SuperMotocross World Championship title.
The first of three Triple Crown events will take place on Saturday, January 27 at Angel Stadium of Anaheim in Anaheim, Calif., followed by rounds 10 and 12 on Saturday, March 16 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind., and Saturday, March 30 at the Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Mo. The Triple Crown, three-race format is a break from the traditional one Main Event race format and has become a fan favorite since its inception in 2018.
Teams will decide later in the year which athletes will be competing in each respective 250SX Class Regional Championship, but fans can expect some epic battles as 2024 will feature the return of seasoned veterans RJ Hampshire, Jordon Smith, Austin Forkner, Max Anstie (U.K.) and Jo Shimoda (Japan).
