SAN DIEGO – The stage is set for another thrilling chapter in the world of off-road motorcycle racing as the 53rd season of the Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, roars into action last weekend. This storied series, a crown jewel of the SuperMotocross World Championship Series, has captivated race fans since 1972, establishing itself as the toughest test in motorsports and an American summertime tradition.
This year, the journey to crown the AMA National Champions begins on Memorial Day weekend at San Diego County’s Fox Raceway in Pala. On Saturday, May 25, the Honda Fox Raceway National ignited the summer campaign with a showcase of speed, skill, and resilience.
Fox Raceway, a relatively new yet iconic venue, joined the championship circuit in 2011 and has since become synonymous with high-speed thrills and technical challenges. The course’s expansive layout, featuring multiple elevation changes and intricate obstacles, offers both racers and fans an unparalleled experience. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Pala Band of Mission Indians, Fox Raceway continues to evolve, solidifying its status as the official home of American motocross in Southern California.
An Epic Battle of the Best Racers
The 2024 season promises fierce competition as the world’s premier racers go head-to-head. Expect to see American favorites like Christian Craig, Jason Anderson, Justin Barcia, Aaron Plessinger, and Chase Sexton battling it out against top international contenders, including reigning Australian champion Jett Lawrence, his brother Hunter Lawrence, and French rider Dylan Ferrandis.
These athletes will navigate the grueling natural terrain, tackling massive jumps and towering hillsides that have defined Pro Motocross. Their relentless pursuit of victory will be on full display, pushing them to their physical and mental limits of the Pro Motocross Championship. These races are a cornerstone of the broader SuperMotocross World Championship, a grueling 31-race season that integrates the winter AMA Supercross Championship and the summer Pro Motocross Championship. This comprehensive series culminates in the SuperMotocross World Championship Playoffs and Final in September, where the ultimate champions are crowned.
