Jett Lawrence Caps Off Championship-Winning 450 Class Season with Ninth Win

MECHANICSVILLE, Md. (August 23, 2025) – The 2025 Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, came to a captivating conclusion on a balmy afternoon in Southern Maryland, as Budds Creek Motocross Park hosted the 11th race of the summer campaign and the 28th and final round of the SMX World Championship regular season. The Yamaha Racing Budds Creek National Finals locked in the field of athletes that will contest the upcoming SMX Playoffs, but more importantly crowned a 250 Class Champion as Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan captured the Gary Jones Cup for the second consecutive season in a dominant effort. With the championship already decided in the 450 Class, Honda HRC Progressive’s Jett Lawrence enjoyed another solid afternoon to wrap up his second title-winning summer with a ninth victory.

450 Class

Moto 1

The first moto of the afternoon began with newly crowned champion Lawrence leading the field to the Pro Motocross Holeshot however Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Justin Cooper was able to briefly move out front before Lawrence asserted his hold of the position. The lead duo was then able to put some distance over the rest of the field as riders jockeyed for positions early, with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire slotting into third.

The top three ran unchanged throughout the first 20 minutes of the moto, with Lawrence able to establish a lead of around five seconds, while Cooper looked to fend off a hard-charging Hampshire. Behind them, Honda HRC Progressive’s Hunter Lawrence lurked from fourth, slowly closing the gap as the final 10 minutes unfolded. A persistent Hampshire was able to close to within a second of Cooper with just over three minutes to go as the leaders navigated heavy lapped traffic. That allowed Lawrence to close in to make it a three-rider battle for second with under a minute remaining in the moto. Lawrence made a quick strike to pass Hampshire and then looked to take advantage of lappers to make a move on Cooper. The battle for second went down to the final lap.

Back out front, Jett Lawrence took an uneventful moto win, his 16th of the season and 42nd of his career, by 2.9 seconds over Cooper, who fended off Hunter Lawrence for the Yamaha rider’s first moto podium since the sixth race of the season at RedBud. Hampshire followed in fourth, with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac in fifth.

Cooper slowly lost touch and soon dropped more than 10 seconds back, with Hampshire closing in from fourth. As the moto entered the final five minutes, Hunter Lawrence added to his advantage, which approached nearly 10 seconds, while Hampshire caught and passed Cooper for third.
