RJ Hampshire survived the third red flag in three Monster Energy Supercross 250 East rounds and held Tom Vialle at bay in Round 8 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. It was his first win on the track in his home state.
Scoring only four points in the season-opener in Tampa, Hampshire is slowly leaving the basement. He climbed to fourth in the standings with 25 points awarded for the victory. Only one marker stands between him and Chance Hymas in third. There is still a way to go to catch the red plate holder, Max Anstie, but Hampshire has it in his sights.
Fans had the opportunity to watch Hampshire and defending Daytona winner Tom Vialle battle for the win. It was a matchup expected since Hampshire needed to switch coasts because of an off-season wrist injury and promises to be one of the most compelling storylines of 2025.

Seth Hammaker rebounded from a disappointing round in Arlington, when he finished 17th overall, to take the final spot on the podium. Making the move into third in Daytona, he executed a thrilling pass through the air on Chance Hymas. Daytona used a split sand lane to allow riders a passing zone, but Hammaker and Hymas wanted the same line with three laps remaining.
Hymas was denied the podium, but a fourth-place finish was a season-best for the rider still recovering from injury. Consistent sixth-place results at Tampa and Detroit place him third in the 250 East standings.
Maximus Vohland rounded out the top five with his best performance of 2025. He struggled in Tampa with a 21st, barely cracked the top 10 in Detroit with a ninth, and was fifth at Daytona.
Levi Kitchen had a solid run before a Lap 5 crash. He was riding third and misjudged a jump along the frontstretch straight. Kitchen was evaluated at the infield medical center and then transported to a local hospital where he was found to have suffered a broken collarbone.
