Rancho Cucamonga, CA: The 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship season reached an exhilarating conclusion in Salt Lake City, highlighting the remarkable achievements of Dunlop’s Supercross racing program. For the sixteenth consecutive year, Dunlop riders showcased dominance by sweeping all three championships and securing top podium finishes, accumulating an impressive total of 186 SX and MX Championships—an unparalleled milestone in the industry.
The 450SX class saw a total of seven different winners, including notable competitors like Eli Tomac from Monster Energy Star Yamaha, Ken Roczen from Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki, and Aaron Plessinger from Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. Heading into the championship decider, Cooper Webb needed to secure at least a fifth-place finish to claim the title. At the season finale held in Salt Lake City, although Sexton achieved the lead and ultimately secured victory, Webb demonstrated strategic riding by finishing fourth, thus clinching his third Monster Energy AMA 450 Supercross Championship.
This season, Dunlop reaffirmed its commitment to excellence in racing by not only retaining but also expanding its roster of supported riders. In the premier 450SX class, Dunlop athletes secured positions within the top twelve, reinforcing the brand’s unwavering reputation for performance under pressure.
The 250SX East and West championships presented a dynamic landscape, with eleven different riders claiming main event victories, underscoring the fierce competition of the 250 class. The championship in the 250 West Coast division was clinched in Denver, where Haiden Deegan of Monster Energy Star Yamaha achieved victory and solidified his championship win at the penultimate round.
The 250 East division finale culminated in an intense showdown requiring Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle to finish ahead of Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker to stave off any points gain from Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire. In Salt Lake City, Deegan won the race amidst a series of intense battles. Vialle initially held the lead among the championship contenders but subsequently fell back, allowing Hampshire and Hammaker to surpass him. In a daring maneuver, Hampshire attempted a bold pass on Hammaker, resulting in both riders going down. This incident provided Vialle with the opportunity to regain his position and ultimately secure enough points to clinch his second consecutive championship.
