Points are doubled this week for Round 2 of the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas and the intensity rises accordingly.
Jett Lawrence won his third SMX race in four starts last week at zMax Dragway, but the competition was closer than it has ever been with the return of Eli Tomac to top form. A new week brings fresh opportunities for the field.
Texas is a must-win psychological race for Chase Sexton. He cannot continue to finish behind Lawrence if he wants to have any chance of securing his second championship of the season. He simply must prove that his Pro Motocross title does not have an asterisk attached.
In the 250 division, Haiden Deegan has become the rider to beat, but he had issues in North Carolina. He needs to clean up his starts to put himself in a strong position for the season-ending race at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
