🔥 The Brothers' Fight
Hunter Leads Jett by 3 — The Tightest Siblings Title Fight Ever
After five rounds, Hunter Lawrence leads his brother Jett by just 3 points — 227 to 224. Hunter won four motos at RedBud, Jett went 2-3. They've traded the lead four times. Six rounds remain. Southwick is tomorrow and sand favors neither one definitively. This is the fight of the season.

Honda HRC Is Running The 450MX Class — Nobody Is Close
Hunter and Jett Lawrence hold the top two spots in 450MX points, separated by 3. Third-place Haiden Deegan trails by 51 points. Jorge Prado sits fourth after a strong RedBud. The Honda HRC program is lapping the field in the standings — the only question is which Lawrence wins it.
⚡ The Sand Test
Southwick Tomorrow — The Wick 338 Will Shake Up the Points
Southwick National, July 11, is the only all-sand national in the US. The Wick 338 punishes riders who aren't comfortable in loose, deep dirt. With Hunter and Jett separated by 3 points and Cole Davies and Jo Shimoda battling hard in 250MX, tomorrow's racing could flip both standings.
