The stage is set for an electrifying climax to the SuperMotocross World Championship Final, taking place tonight at the renowned Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

As riders prepare to go head-to-head on The Strip, anticipation mounts for a battle that offers not just glory, but also a staggering $1 million for the overall champion.

Morning Highlights: The Championship Showdown

In what promises to be one of the most intense racing events of the season, Hunter Lawrence, Chase Sexton, and Jett Lawrence find themselves in a fierce winner-takes-all scenario.

With their positions—first, second, and third in the championship standings—on the line, these elite athletes have made it crystal clear: "It's not just about beating each other; it's about going home with the cash!" Their shared motivation for the hefty payout was a hot topic during the pre-race press conference, underlining the high stakes involved.

On the 250 Class front, Haiden Deegan has a commanding lead and only needs to place third or higher to secure his championship title and a cool $500,000.

Deegan, who has been unbeatable in previous SMX motos, is looking to sweep the event for a flawless season.

"Completing a clean sweep is my goal," he declared, alluding to his intentions to not only secure the title but also to set a personal benchmark by achieving a double victory tonight.
