MT. MORRIS, Pa. — The first month of the 2025 Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, wrapped up with the Father’s Day weekend tradition that is the UFO Plast High Point National from legendary High Point Raceway.
Race 4 of the summer campaign and Round 21 of the SMX World Championship took place under mostly overcast skies for the first three motos of the day, but the skies opened up for the final moto to set up a dramatic 450 class finish that saw Team Hond HRC Progressive’s Jett Lawrence prevail with his fourth straight win to open the season.
Lawrence won the opening moto, which turned out to be the determining factor as he finished third in the soggy nightcap, while his brother Hunter finished second in both motos to take second overall.
Eli Tomac, who finished fifth in the opener, won the second moto of the afternoon.
“I needed to make sure I didn’t make a mistake any bigger than the one I made on the start [of Moto 2]. Eli [Tomac] and Hunter [Lawrence] were gone, and I saw AP [Aaron Plessinger] and knew I had to do the best I could, which was third place,” Jett Lawrence said. “I didn’t know how much time was left when they flew the red flag, but thankfully I was third [to secure the overall].”
“I know my capabilities on the bike, so after the first moto I knew I needed to improve on my start and a few other small things,” said Hunter Lawrence. “But that all went out the window when the rain came and then I knew that the first lap could likely determine how the race would play out.”
In the 250 Class, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan reasserted his dominance over the division with his third 1-1 performance of the season.
