Round four of the Pro Motocross Championship made its annual visit to the picturesque hills of High Point Raceway, as another chapter of the 2026 season was written in Pennsylvania. Our Captured feature revisits the defining moments and key points from the weekend in illustrated form.

One of the biggest talking points from the weekend emerged before the gate had even dropped, as Jett Lawrence and Haiden Deegan had what feels like the first of many run-ins on track. There was plenty of tension across both 450MX qualifying sessions, with Lawrence even receiving a penalty for an ‘obscene hand gesture.’ Buckle up, folks.

While there may have been drama on Jett’s side, no such issues existed for Hunter. A perfect 1-1 performance highlighted his day, and he even managed to gap Jett in moto two after the pair started together – something we’ve rarely seen since the younger Lawrence brother entered the 450MX class.

High Point is one of the more scenic circuits on the entire Monster Energy SMX World Championship calendar, with its blend of elevation changes, technical obstacles, and quality dirt consistently producing entertaining racing. The iconic downhill staircase remains one of the track’s signature features and most demanding sections.

With Chase Sexton now sidelined for the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL, Monster Energy Kawasaki has to be pleased with what Garrett Marchbanks is delivering. Low-maintenance, hardworking, and quietly effective, Marchbanks has put the KX450SR inside the top five for the second consecutive weekend.

We also saw encouraging signs from Aaron Plessinger, with a 6-4 moto scorecard earning him fifth overall. It was a welcome result for The Cowboy after what has been a challenging season to date.

10-3 moto scores earned Australian Kayden Minear a career-high fifth overall result at High Point, with the feeling that an overall podium could be on the horizon for the young rider.

It was a tough blow for Seth Hammaker in moto two, with a loop-out during the opening stages bringing an early end to his day. There’s been no official update on the extent of the damage, so we’ll have to wait and see how the former points leader emerges from the incident.

Cole Davies also completed a perfect 1-1 sweep at High Point. He was always the rider you felt teams would want to keep momentum away from given his raw speed and skillset, so with confidence now building, the likes of Levi Kitchen and Jo Shimoda will be eager to halt that momentum when the series resumes at RedBud.

Quad Lock Honda’s Charli Cannon claimed her first WMX overall victory in the United States. It’s almost strange to think that’s the case, given how competitive she has been across eight rounds. 5-1 scores got the job done, toppling Lachlan ‘LaLa’ Turner’s 3-2 result.

To whom it may concern: Julien Beaumer is indeed an outdoor guy. Second overall and two points from the lead – is he a 250MX title contender?

The 450MX red plates belonged to Jett Lawrence at High Point.

While Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki sported double red plates across both Levi Kitchen and Seth Hammaker’s machines.

Vincent Wey made his Pro Motocross 250MX debut at High Point, lining up under the Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green banner and bringing his father, Nick, along for the experience.

And with that, the opening phase of the Pro Motocross Championship is complete. We’ve seen no shortage of action across both divisions, with just two points separating Jett and Hunter Lawrence in 450MX, while Levi Kitchen holds a slim one-point advantage over Jo Shimoda in 250MX. Something tells us the story is only just beginning, with the heart of the season set to write its own chapter when racing resumes at RedBud on July 4.
