Hunter Lawrence

There has always been a perception that Hunter Lawrence was the other Lawrence — the measured, consistent, less flashy sibling to the mercurial Jett. The 2026 450SX season has challenged that perception. After Round 15 Philadelphia, Lawrence sits second in the championship with 306 points — 4 behind Ken Roczen, who won the race and took the lead. Having already claimed his first career 450SX win at Arlington in Round 7, the quiet brother is still in the title fight with two rounds remaining.

Born on October 31, 2000, in Landsborough, Queensland, Australia, Lawrence grew up chasing his younger brother around tracks in southeast Queensland before the family made the move to America to chase racing careers. His path to the 450 class was built on consistency: back-to-back runner-up finishes in the 250SX class (West in 2022, East in 2023), a summer of dominant outdoor riding, and a 2025 Pro Motocross season that saw him finish runner-up in the premier class.

The Honda HRC Campaign

With Jett sidelined since before A1 due to ankle surgery, Hunter has had to carry the entire Honda HRC flag in the 450SX class. He has done so with the kind of consistency that championships are built on. Honda HRC Progressive is one of the sport's most storied programs — the manufacturer that introduced countless legends to the gate — and Lawrence is honoring that legacy with results every Saturday night.
