Salt Lake City 2024
RD 17 | Rice-Eccles Stadium
The Crossroads of the West didn’t host a Supercross until 2001 but it has since become a series staple. The Utah capital served as the center of Supercross when racing resumed after the COVID-19-related shutdown in 2020. Since 2020, Salt Lake City has served as the season finale, hosting championship celebrations and shattered dreams.
With a 7th place finish, Jett Lawrence won the 450SX Monster Energy Supercross Championship as a rookie. His historic season ended with eight wins, 10 podiums and 9 fastest qualifiers. He’s the third rookie to win the title (and the first since 2010).
Chase Sexton led all 24 laps and won the SLC main event, the ninth of his career. He finished third in the championship. Cooper Webb rode to third with a torn ligament in his thumb. He finished 15 points behind Lawrence in the title fight.
Haiden Deegan won his third career 250SX main event but it was RJ Hampshire (2nd) and Tom Vialle (8th) who won the championships.
Hampshire won the 250SX West crown in his 10th season of trying (he now has 66 career 250SX main events). Vialle won the 250SX East title in his second year in the class.
Levi Kitchen, who entered the final round tied in points with Hampshire, wasn’t able to move up to compete for the title battle. He finished 5th. Both title wins snap a drought, with Husqvarna and KTM’s last 250SX titles occurring in 2018 and 2015 respectively.
