Crawfordsville, IN

We’ve reached the eleventh and final round of the AMA Pro Motocross season at the iconic Ironman National. Chase Sexton currently leads the 450 Class with a 28-point advantage over Hunter Lawrence and has a prime opportunity to clinch the title. In a surprising twist, Ken Roczen is making a return to racing this weekend, but he’ll be competing in the 250 Class on a smaller bike, which will certainly shake things up. Speaking of the 250 Class, Haiden Deegan already locked down his title last weekend at Budds Creek, capping off an impressive season.
