The SuperMotocross World Championship Final race will take place on Saturday, Sept. 21, at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas. Last year’s season saw two of the sport’s youngest and brightest stars cement their place in the history books. At just 17, Haiden Deegan earned Rookie of the Year and captured the 250cc World Championship, while Australian sensation Jett Lawrence, 20, became the first-ever 450cc world champion in the premier class, also as a rookie.
The SuperMotocross World Championship Playoffs and Final feature the best athletes in the world as the Top 20 in combined Supercross and Pro Motocross points will be automatically seeded into the playoff rounds. The final two gate positions will be determined through a Last Chance Qualifier featuring athletes positioned 21-30 in combined points, plus any Supercross Main Event winners and Pro Motocross Overall Winners.
The SuperMotocross World Championship Playoff races and final will operate under a two-moto format for both the 450cc class and 250cc class. Each moto will be 20 minutes, plus one lap, in which Olympic Scoring will determine an overall finishing position for which SuperMotocross Championship points will be awarded.
The SMX World Championship series pays the sport’s largest prize payout of $10 million – $4.5 million is awarded throughout the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship and Pro Motocross Championship sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, leaving $5.5 million to be earned through the SMX World Championship Finals fueled by Monster Energy.
The SuperMotocross World Championship culminates with the World Championship Final on Sept. 21 at LVMS. “The Strip” is one of the most iconic dragstrips in the country and joins zMAX Dragway as being one of just two dragstrips in the nation to feature four-wide racing.
Situated across the street from Las Vegas Motor Speedway, The Strip is home to more than 50 events a year and provides an intimate viewing experience from the grandstands and suites while also offering fans the ability to line the fence, like what is done at a Pro Motocross event.
