Reason For Being
The second SuperMotocross World Championship just concluded in Las Vegas and it was another big success by all accounts. A sell-out crowd turned out for the grand finale at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and were treated to some excellent racing on Saturday night, during which Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence took home a million-dollar bonus (again) and Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan grabbed the half-million that came with winning the 250SMX class (again). The fans in attendance were treated to a huge afternoon pit party, followed by some very compelling racing on Saturday night. It was an epic ending for what was a long season for everyone.
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.
