Three riders have a chance to take home $1 million with the overall victory this week at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It’s another winner-take-all scenario in the second season of the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX).
Hunter Lawrence, Chase Sexton, and Jett Lawrence are going to have to push the limits of grip and decorum on a hybrid track featuring elements from the Monster Energy Supercross and Pro Motocross series.
In the unique formula created for the SMX playoffs, values are tripled this week creating a nine-point advantage for the winner over second-place. By the numbers, seven riders have a solid opportunity to take home the trophy in the 450 division if the top three struggle. And with a track unlike any they have raced on in 2024, that is more than an ideal thought.
Haiden Deegan holds a 19-point advantage on Tom Vialle and does not need to win on Saturday — but that is beside the point for the defending champion who failed to win a single moto last year. He took the 2023 title with consistency; he wants to sweep the series in 2024 and take this one on strength.
