And just like that, Monster Energy Supercross 2026 is complete, with an electrifying season finale unfolding inside Salt Lake City’s Rice-Eccles Stadium on Saturday night. The winner-take-all 450SX main event delivered in spectacular fashion, while the 250SX East/West Showdown produced plenty of drama of its own. Re-live the action in this Captured feature.

What a 450SX main event it was, and what a season in general! After it was all said and done and Ken Roczen emerged as the champion, he and Hunter Lawrence exchanged a moment following the race, congratulating each other after a grueling 17-round dogfight. It was special, and props to Hunter and Honda HRC Progressive for hanging around and showing their respect after what would’ve been a tough moment to process.

Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Levi Kitchen and Max Anstie (Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing) rounded out the 250SX Showdown podium behind winner Cole Davies. Heading into 2027, the 250 division is now beyond the Deegan-domination era, and although Davies has firmly announced himself, you’d have to say that these two are even higher up the title-contenter list for next year.

Speaking of Deegan and Davies, they put on a show Saturday, although there certainly seemed like there was tension between the pair post-race. Perhpas less so from the Deegs, but Davies doesn’t appear to be Dangerboy’s biggest fan.

The moment it came unravelled for Hunter, who made a critical mistake earlier in the lap too. This incident was effectively the nail in the coffin to his 450SX title chances, as Roczen set sail out front while Lawrence was bumped outside the top-five.

That’s win number two on the season for Chase Sexton in his debut with Monster Energy Kawasaki. It’s got to feel good for everyone involved, especially given the constant chatter surrounding the partnership.

If Mitch Payton were to have a nightmare, it’d have to look something like this, right? A total Pro Circuit yard sale while Cameron McAdoo and Seth Hammaker battled for fourth and fifth.

A picture worth 1000 words. Roczen’s legacy is cemented with a 450SX title, which just feels so right after over a decade at the very top of the class.

Deegs’ 250 career is a wrap! It’s been a historic run since his professional debut in 2023, dominating the class both indoors and out, as well as the Monster Energy SMX post-season. The question looms: how will all this translate to the 450 division? Well, that chapter is set to begin on May 30 at Fox Raceway, and with that, a new era begins.

The 450SX Rookie of the Year honors belong to Garret Marchbanks! Five top-10’s, and 14th in points – not a bad effort with the current depth of the category. In 250SX, Caden Dudney earned the award after debuting in 250SX East this year.

The calm before the storm…

Que ‘My Hero’ by the Foo Fighters. Red Bull KTM’s Eli Tomac crashed out of the heat race, and although he checked out OK, the two-time 450SX champion sat out the series finale in Salt Lake. If you break down this year’s title fight, the Colorado-native really owned the early stages, although the wheels really fell off in the back half, when Roczen began to catch fire.

Bold from Jorge Prado here to be so close to Cooper Webb’s grill, as the 2025 450SX champion doesn’t appear to be in a friendly mood at this point. They had a season-long rivalry, and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds into the future, as something tells us that it’s not quite over.
