After their Playoff 1 Main Event in Charlotte was cancelled due to lightning, the SMX Next World All-Stars raced a unique two-day double header in St. Louis . On Friday’s running of the Playoff 1 Main Event, Yamaha’s Kayden Minear took over the lead on the opening lap and was never challenged for the top spot. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing's Carson Wood battled forward from a 14^th place start to earn a second-place finish. Phoenix Honda’s Tiger Wood held the second-place spot for most of the race but dropped back to third position as the riders crossed the white flag. Those three held those positions to the end.

On Saturday, the riders returned for the SMX Next Class’ Final. Paying double points, the single-race format saw Muc-Off Club MX Yamaha's Ryder Malinoski win the Main Event wire-to-wire. Malinowski had a tough Friday after an early race collision with Landon Hartz and Caden Dudney that left him with a last-place finish. So, he went 25-1 in the two races within this short championship.

Minear recovered from an eighth-place start to earn second place and enough points to earn the SMX Next World All-Stars Championship. Yamaha’s Kade Johnson put together consistent laps to capture the final podium spot in front of the St. Louis fans.
