Jett Lawrence continued his domination in Round 1 of the Pro Motocross season, Round 18 of SuperMotocross, at Fox Raceway in Pala, California.
Lawrence’s win was notable in several ways: In winning his 24th consecutive moto, he tied James Stewart for the third-longest streak, he has never been beaten in overall results on this track, he’s set himself up as the favorite to win the 2024 Motocross title, and he now has an advantage in SuperMotocross points totaling more than a full round. After sweeping Pala, Lawrence is 54 points ahead of Chase Sexton.

For the first time in more than five decades, brothers finished first and second in the 450 division in Motocross, with Hunter Lawrence finishing second in Moto 1 and third in Moto 2. Midway through the event, Hunter challenged Jett in his quest to be the one to end his brother’s perfect streak, but he faded after his challenge and finished 41 seconds off the pace. These solid runs and the 42 points move him to seventh in SuperMotocross standings.
Chase Sexton had one of the most adventurous afternoons at the track. He crashed twice in Moto 1 but had enough speed to finish fourth. He was Jett’s closest competition at the end of Moto 2 in a mirror of how the 2023 season began.
Dylan Ferrandis quietly finished fourth with results of seventh and fifth in the two motos. Combined with three feature results from Supercross, Ferrandis is on a five-race, top-10 streak.
Rounding out the top five was Justin Barcia, who achieved his place of honor with consistent sixth-place finishes in both races. Barcia has now finished sixth or better in his last six features.
