Pala 2024

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)
