Twenty Going On Fifty
To say that Jett Lawrence’s professional career is off to a good start would be an understatement. Still just 20 years old, the Honda HRC rider from Australia is already nearing 50 wins in AMA racing alone. In the two and a half years he spent in the 250 class, Jett won 14 outdoor nationals and 13 SX main events, then won all 11 450 Pro Motocross races in 2023 as well as two of the three 450 SMX rounds. And when he crossed the finish line at the recent Philadelphia SX that gave him seven 450 wins with two rounds yet to be run as we were going to print. That’s 47 wins so far, and the kid doesn’t even turn 21 until August.

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.
