2025 Pala MX – Fox Raceway

Jett Lawrence picked up where he ended 2023 by going 1-1 and extending his streak to 24-0. The defending champion led every lap of both motos, but the second outing gave race fans hope of good racing to come this season. Hunter Lawrence holeshot and kept the pressure on his little brother for the first half. Chase Sexton put on a late race charge and had the fastest lap in 7 of the 15 laps run, but Jett knew precisely when to go faster.

The Lawrences became the first brothers to go 1-2 in the 250/450MX class since 1973 when Gary and Dewayne Jones did it at Lake Whitney.

After narrowly missing out on his first 250SX title, Haiden Deegan scored his second career 1-1 effort at Fox Raceway to kick off the Motocross season. Deegan worked forward from third early in the first moto, passing rival Tom Vialle and eventually former teammate Levi Kitchen after a bizarre incident where a yellow track marker got stuck in Kitchen’s boot.

In the second moto, the top two resumed their fight and separated themselves from the field. Deegan held the lead every lap, holding off Kitchen. Kitchen took second overall after showing a ton of speed throughout the day. Tom Vialle took the final spot on the podium after a tiebreaker with Chance Hymas. (4-3 to 3-4)

While 2010 was the year of Ryan Dungey, it was Ryan Villopoto who took home both premier class championships in 2011. Villopoto sharpened his skills by battling with Ryan Dungey and Chad Reed throughout the year.

Entering the finale at Fox Raceway (then called Pala Raceway), Villopoto had a 14 point gap over Dungey, and took 3-1 scores (2nd overall to Dungey) to win his first of two 450MX Pro Motocross titles.
