Cookin’

Levi Kitchen entered this season without a Pro Motocross overall win to his name but now the #47 has up his third overall win in the last four rounds. Kitchen said afterwards in the post-race press conference: “I want him to know I’m here to play,” referring to Haiden Deegan.

Mookie’s Best

Malcolm Stewart finished 6-5 for fourth overall on Saturday, which tied his career best 450 Pro Motocross finish ever. Eleven years ago—yes, 11!—Stewart finished 9-3 for fourth overall at Budds Creek Motocross Park on June 22, 2013 for a career best 450 finish outdoors.

Tomac Back

In his Pro Motocross debut, Eli Tomac finished 4-11 for seventh overall. He told NBC pit reporter Jason Thomas after the race it was “a little bit of good and a little bit of misery.” Remember, this was Tomac’s first Pro Motocross race back since the 2022 finale in California in early September.

Same, But Different

Last weekend in New York, Jalek Swoll score 6-4 moto finishes to claim third overall, earning Triumph Racing's first podium in the U.S. Swoll had another solid day in Maryland over the weekend, scoring 6-4 moto finishes again, although this time he landed fifth overall.

Congrats, Champ!

Haiden Deegan clinched the 2024 250 Class AMA Pro Motocross Championship one round early. Somehow, Deegan's 1-10 moto finishes landed him on the ovearll podium. Deegan took nine moto wins and 17 moto podium finishes while earning five overall wins and nine overall podiums in the first ten rounds. If you take out his very first two Pro Motocross races ever when he debuted back in 2022, Deegan has only finished outside the top ten overall two times—last August in Unadilla when his bike broke and he scored 38th in the moto (17th overall) and the following week when he was down in the first turn of Budds Creek and finished 16th in the first moto (11th overall). He was the best rider this summer and straight up earned the title.

SMX Points Update

Chase Sexton (450SMX) and Haiden Deegan (250SMX) continue to lead their respective classes in the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) qualifying system. Keep a close eye on the guys around the 20th place range over these next couple of weeks as riders look to make that top 20 and not have to race all three SMX LCQ races in order to qualify for the motos.
