[0:03] It's the SMX Insider post-race show brought to you by Bass Pro Shops.
[0:08] This is the UFOPlast High Point National Monster Energy SMX World Championship
[0:13] fourth Pro Motocross race of the year.
[0:17] And the tide is turning very rapidly from where this series was coming in
[0:21] to this race in Pennsylvania and where it is leaving in all the classes.
[0:27] Charlie Cannon gets a victory in WMX.
[0:29] Cole Davies, his first ever overall win in the 250 class,
[0:32] turning the tide of momentum that Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki had built
[0:37] the first couple of rounds.
[0:39] And in the 450s, it's James Stewart, by the way, I'm Jason Wygant.
[0:42] Hunter Lawrence got the win.
[0:43] He's won a couple of these.
[0:44] That's the third 450 Pro Motocross win of his career.
[0:47] But to do it straight up where his brother Jet did not have an answer,
[0:51] that speaks volumes going into this break.
[0:53] Yeah, I mean, anytime Jet loses, it's a big deal because the guy never loses.
[0:57] But some wins are bigger than others.
[0:59] And I feel like with Hunter Lawrence, the way he won today, it's just different.
[1:03] We've seen that version of him in Supercross.
[1:06] Anytime he needed to do it, he did it.
[1:08] I know what happened at Salt Lake, but it just shows Paula wasn't a fluke.
[1:12] Like it was.
[1:13] Jet was coming back.
[1:14] Hayden Deegan was first race.
[1:15] But what he did today shows that Paula can happen again because this wasn't close.
[1:20] Just like Paula, it was not close.
[1:23] And when you do that over a guy who looked great all day long, man, that is huge going into the off break.
[1:30] And then this is huge as well.
[1:31] This crowd, massive today for Father's Day weekend.
[1:34] They were loud.
[1:35] They were into it.
[1:35] They're cheering everybody.
[1:38] They're pumped up on Hayden Deegan, who was third overall today.
[1:42] And then with the weekend off, the next race will be Redbud on July 4th.
[1:47] It'll be absolute madness there, especially with this brewing battle.
[1:52] Hayden actually seemed pretty happy.
[1:53] He was third, and you know he wants to beat them, but he's still taking the positives and the confidence out of it.
[1:58] Yeah, he is.
[1:59] I mean, he should.
[2:00] He's on the podium again.
[2:02] And, you know, I think a little bit of that happens when he starts catching Jet at the end of the race.
[2:07] Yep.
[2:07] Like those are the little battles that anything that you can give any kind of guy confidence and you give Hayden any kind of sniff of that lead,
[2:15] he's going to take it and run with it.
[2:16] So you start to wonder, will that bite them at the end of the day?
[2:19] Did they start relaxing too much because it allowed this dude to catch him?
[2:22] And now he's like, well, I figured it out.
[2:25] I'm able to catch him, and you hear him on the podium, and he's doing a great job.
[2:28] It's a little different game against him.
[2:30] We've seen the Lawrences race like that for so many years, and no one's able to really take advantage of it or get a hook in them.
[2:37] But Hayden Deegan's a different cat.
[2:39] Yeah, he is.
[2:40] I mean, he hasn't raced them like that.
[2:41] So he knows, everybody else in his class knows that game.
[2:46] They're like, oh, man, they're just waiting.
[2:47] Hayden doesn't know that.
[2:48] No.
[2:49] You know, whatever it takes, we've got a great series.
[2:52] There it is.
[2:53] Champagne shower, courtesy of Jet Lawrence there.
[2:58] Happy Father's Day weekend to everybody out there.
[3:00] I'm sure Darren Lawrence, Brian Deegan, happy with the podium rides.
[3:05] And I also got to shout out Cole Davies' dad, who, like I said, he didn't quite predict a 1-1 from his son Cole at high point, but he was darn close.
[3:13] He hinted at it that when they got to these rutted technical tracks, Cole Davies would be tough.
[3:18] And dad was right.
[3:20] Ha, ha, ha.
[3:21] I hate Deegan.
[3:22] Fans have been great all day long.
[3:24] Yeah.
[3:24] Yeah.
[3:25] I mean, Cole Davies, his dad's rider, but I think his dad understood what kind of rider Cole is.
[3:29] And he knew, like, hey, he hasn't raced motocross in a while.
[3:32] He didn't race with it all last year, injuries.
[3:34] So it's going to take him a few rounds.
[3:36] I mean, anybody coming off Supercross to motocross is a challenge.
[3:39] If you haven't done it before, it is hard.
[3:41] So I think it's more about he knew he was rider and how good he is rather than a Pacific track for me.
[3:47] Cole Davies was dominant just like Hunter Lawrence, especially that second moto.
[3:50] Oh, yeah.
[3:51] And now everybody's got a week extra to think about it.
[3:58] These are the highlights of High Point, Pro Motocross, and Monster Energy SMX.
[4:02] Absolutely past the hillsides for a Father's Day weekend, but it's become a classic stop on the tour.
[4:08] This was the long-running Memorial Day race in this championship.
[4:11] Now moving to June.
[4:12] A lot sunnier skies these days.
[4:15] Great start for Hunter Lawrence in the first moto, but Jorge Prado is right there, and temporarily he's going to get the lead.
[4:21] Yeah, Jorge Prado tries to slide up.
[4:23] He actually gets on the inside of Hunter.
[4:25] They bump, allows Cooper Webb actually into the lead.
[4:28] Jorge makes a small mistake, but that didn't last long because the 96 was able to rebound,
[4:33] and he just had a different focus by him today, to be honest with you.
[4:37] From the jump, how he attacked his brother, that second moto, this moto.
[4:40] Jorge gets around Cooper Webb.
[4:42] As you see, Jett Lawrence closing in, but these guys rode great.
[4:47] Now you're going to see Jett Lawrence go down the outside of Cooper Webb.
[4:51] It's going to set him up the inside.
[4:52] Now this is before Cooper and Jorge, they battled for a few laps.
[4:56] It took a while for Jorge to get around.
[4:58] Eventually he does, but as soon as he did that, Jett Lawrence was there.
[5:01] He got around Cooper.
[5:02] Now Jorge for second place, and he basically kind of rode off, and Jorge had to ride a lonely third for a little while,
[5:08] because the two up front was gone, and this guy was way out front.
[5:14] I'm going to say it a few times.
[5:16] This was a huge win for Hunter Lawrence.
[5:18] This was huge.
[5:20] Yeah, we were waiting to see once Jett got to second, could he close in at all, and he did not.
[5:24] So then moto two, rematch.
[5:26] This time the brothers are one-two early, so now they're there at the start.
[5:30] Got Prado and Plessinger in it as well, and it looked like Jett was about to take the lead here.
[5:35] Well, I think Jett also was, I mean, even at first moto, Jett moved up in the second.
[5:40] He put a few laps in, but he also said that Hunter Lawrence was too far up front.
[5:44] Well, this just shows you how they know each other.
[5:47] Hunter knows where I got attacked Jett Lawrence.
[5:50] No free laps, nothing free.
[5:52] This is Dylan Ferrandez going down, opening laps.
[5:55] Dylan had a tough day.
[5:56] This is the second big crash of the day for him.
[5:58] So unfortunately, he was able to get up and ride off.
[6:01] Jorge Prado, this is early in the race.
[6:03] He's able to get around his teammate, Aaron Plessinger.
[6:06] Hayden Deegan's still behind him, and we thought maybe Jorge would be able to, you know, hang on there.
[6:10] But Hayden Deegan, just as he did in the first moto, not the best of stars, makes his way around Aaron Plessinger.
[6:16] Now, the first moto, Hayden Deegan and Jorge Prado stayed this close that whole race.
[6:21] Hayden wasn't able to get him.
[6:22] But this race, Hayden Deegan had a better flow, better pace, and kind of Jorge didn't put up too much fight on the rookie.
[6:31] Nonetheless, Hayden Deegan would ride off in third place.
[6:33] His teammate, he's like, all right, I let you by earlier.
[6:36] I didn't fight you too hard.
[6:37] Let me do it.
[6:37] Jorge, after a couple laps of stalking Aaron and not letting him by, Aaron had to continue to work.
[6:42] Could you see that number?
[6:44] 36 March Banks, Kawasaki behind him coming up.
[6:47] But nobody was close to this dude.
[6:50] This is just a statement, statement ride from the 96.
[6:53] 1-1 today, just like we saw in the first race of the year.
[6:56] It looked just as good to me.
[6:59] And the points are nearly even between the brothers now.
[7:02] A two-point gap for Jett over Hunter.
[7:06] Deegan will take third overall.
[7:08] We'll show you the results here.
[7:09] He wins that battle with Prado in moto two, after Prado was just aiming to hold him in moto one.
[7:13] So he goes 4-3 for third.
[7:15] Prado then had that crazy fight with his teammate Plessinger late in moto two.
[7:21] But Plessinger wins that one.
[7:22] He gets fourth, pushes Prado to fifth.
[7:26] And then it's March Banks, who is rocketing both of the charts each week in the overall and in the points.
[7:31] He's right behind Hampshire for fifth.
[7:34] Prado lost a lot of points with a bad run at Hangtown.
[7:37] So he's way back.
[7:39] And he combined the SMX points that Supercross and Motocross together.
[7:42] Hunter Lawrence with a big gap over Webb and the idle Kenrocks.
[7:46] And hoping Justin Cougar, by the way, can come back to racing maybe at Redbud.
[7:50] Had a big crash at Hangtown.
[7:53] And here's the rest of the guys.
[7:54] Here's the key.
[7:55] Jett Lawrence and Hayden Deegan have now moved into the top 20 in combined points.
[8:00] And that would guarantee a gate for them in the SMX playoffs.
[8:04] So we're going to get more stories from some riders that rode very well today, moments ago.
[8:09] First, we'll talk to Katie, who I believe caught up to Aaron Plessinger.
[8:11] K.P. out there today was a lot of fun.
[8:16] I think the commentators had a good time with it.
[8:18] But the smile on your face is telling me it was a good time for you, too.
[8:22] Yeah, yeah, it was a fun day.
[8:24] Yeah, this is a win for me.
[8:27] You know, I haven't rode that good in almost a year.
[8:31] So it feels good to get that monkey off my back and get up here and show the boys what I can do still.
[8:39] And, yeah, I mean, dude, I've got to give it up to the whole Red Bull KTM factory racing team.
[8:44] They've been behind me and pushing me.
[8:48] And they believed in me.
[8:50] And, yeah, I just got to give a shout-out to everybody out there or everybody over there.
[8:55] And my bike was working great today.
[8:57] And, yeah, it was a shame that I got hurt in Birmingham because it led me to not get much time on the bike before the season started.
[9:08] And the season started quick.
[9:09] And I didn't know how it was going to go.
[9:11] So this is a huge win for me, especially on Father's Day weekend.
[9:18] Happy Father's Day to my dad and all the dads out there.
[9:21] You guys work hard.
[9:22] So you guys deserve it.
[9:24] But, yeah, I'm happy to be up here again.
[9:27] And hopefully it gets better from here on out.
[9:30] And, yeah, thanks to everybody behind me.
[9:33] Thor, KTM, Alpine Star, just everybody.
[9:38] I mean, everybody for believing in me.
[9:40] All the haters, I can still do it, even though I got great hair.
[9:46] Right back at you, son.
[9:47] And do it for Dale, baby.
[9:50] You know, AP, real quick, too, briefly, that battle with Jorge.
[9:53] I got to ask you about it.
[9:55] Okay.
[9:55] It was fun.
[9:56] It was a good time.
[9:57] You guys were at it.
[9:58] Yeah, yeah.
[9:59] I mean, this track sets up for some really good racing.
[10:03] Whether it's rutted as all get out or it's like it was today, it sets up for some real good racing.
[10:09] And to battle my teammate, it's pretty cool.
[10:13] And just to have that, given how the first couple races went, in Colorado, I started up front.
[10:20] And I shot back faster than, I don't know, a sack of potatoes.
[10:25] And, yeah, so to get that done.
[10:29] And I didn't even know we were catching him at first.
[10:31] The battle with Garrett had me, like, squirreled out.
[10:36] And we caught Jorge, and I was like, oh, shoot.
[10:39] All right, well, let's go.
[10:41] And, yeah, so it was a gnarly three-way battle.
[10:45] And, yeah, it was just a fun day.
[10:47] And now I can go home and be proud and not have to think about what I did wrong.
[10:53] But, yeah, it was just an awesome day.
[10:56] So, um, And happy Father's Day to you, as well.
[10:59] Thank you.
[11:00] I appreciate it, guys.
[11:02] Well, Garrett Marchbanks, more improvement over the last couple weeks.
[11:05] And similar to Jorge Prado, every time we watch it, you're in a just knockdown, drag-out battle every single weekend.
[11:12] What do you think it's going to take to take the steps you've gone from here to get to the podium, which is where I'm sure you want to be?
[11:19] Simple starts.
[11:21] I mean, I keep working myself to death every weekend doing that.
[11:26] I've got to be better.
[11:28] It's pretty annoying at this point that I keep doing that to myself.
[11:31] I've got to figure it out.
[11:32] I've got to be better.
[11:34] Teams working their butt off.
[11:35] And for me to do that to myself sucks.
[11:37] I mean, the speed's there.
[11:38] I've just got to be better on the starts.
[11:40] So all I hear from the team is how much you've worked, how much testing you've done, and how helpful you'd be to get the bike better.
[11:46] Can you feel that starting to come around?
[11:48] Like, is there steps during the week that are starting to show up on Saturdays?
[11:51] Yeah.
[11:52] No, bike's great.
[11:53] I mean, teams work their butt off.
[11:55] Brock's worked his butt off.
[11:57] Me, you know, it's been a huge team effort the last couple weeks.
[12:00] We've gotten in a really good spot.
[12:02] I'm really happy with where we're at.
[12:04] I feel like, yeah, at first we were, you know, a step or two behind at Paula.
[12:10] We made, you know, two steps forward.
[12:13] Hangtown, another small step in Thunder Valley.
[12:15] I feel like we were in a really good spot today.
[12:18] Just like I said, starts.
[12:20] All right, well, here's to another step at Redbud.
[12:22] Great job.
[12:26] 250 class highlights for Pro Motocross and Monster Energy SMX, the Ufoplast High Point National from Mount Morris, Pennsylvania.
[12:36] So it had been really the story of the Kawasaki's coming into this race, holding the point lead, tied with the teammates of Levi Kitchen and Seth Hamaker.
[12:43] But Cole Davies is going to get a good start here, just though sneaking past is Casey Coffrin.
[12:50] Yeah, Casey got that start and ran up front his first moto for a while.
[12:54] You see Julian Vermeer slide in.
[12:56] Cole Davies got a great start, but you notice he's not in that top five.
[13:00] He actually started going back in the first of the big three, you would say, of the title contenders of Levi Kitchen to make a mistake early in the race.
[13:08] Ends up going back and kind of stayed in that position, and it was Julian Vermeer after Casey led this race for a while.
[13:14] Julian closed in, closed in, and then he was able to make that pass.
[13:19] And at that point, you should start pulling away from these guys.
[13:21] Kind of look like Cole Davies in the second moto.
[13:24] Little mistake by Cole's teammate right here.
[13:26] He's going to get up to inside.
[13:28] That's Dugley.
[13:28] And Cole had the flow, but still, even when he got past Casey Coffrin for a second, he didn't really close the gap on Julian Vermeer.
[13:36] That was a nice pass.
[13:38] Nice angle, by the way.
[13:39] And then the moment of the race, out front, about eight, nine seconds, goes down, open the finish line.
[13:45] Still leads that lap.
[13:46] Goes down, but see how long it takes Cole to get here.
[13:49] And this is towards the end of the race.
[13:51] Julian's going to get up in second place.
[13:53] Keep Cole on his butt, not close enough.
[13:56] And then Joe Shimoto, this is going to be the theme of the day for him, especially in this corner.
[14:00] You'll see soon.
[14:02] Joe Shimoto is able to get up in that third spot after a bad start.
[14:06] But Cole Davies hangs on.
[14:08] Julian close to him, but Cole Davies wins moto number one here at High Point.
[14:13] So well done for the kid out of New Zealand.
[14:15] That's his third career moto win, but has not been able to convert those into overalls.
[14:20] Another good start for Davies this time.
[14:22] He said, I think I got my start figured out now.
[14:24] I'd say he has.
[14:25] Nah, he absolutely has.
[14:26] You can see Julian right there, but Cole is not going to get past at this race.
[14:31] In fact, nobody's really going to see him much after this opening lap.
[14:34] This guy was on a different level this second moto, different rider.
[14:38] And the other second co-points leader, Seth, that was a huge crash.
[14:43] Opening lap came up.
[14:45] We need to say short.
[14:46] That bike hooked up on him.
[14:48] It looped out, caught him by surprise.
[14:50] Walked off the racetrack, but we'll find out more on him.
[14:53] And that's where I was saying Joe Shimoda, another bad start, a so-so star, has to make his way up.
[14:59] And with Cole Davies looking the way he does, Joe's going to have to figure that part out.
[15:02] You can see Levi kitchen behind him.
[15:04] Joe had to work on his teammate, Chance Hyman, who had a good ride going through that second moto.
[15:08] So shout out to him.
[15:09] Hopefully that only gets better, but Joe's able to get past him.
[15:12] And then Julian Beaumere at the Cape, even near, wrote great this moto.
[15:18] Julian's able to get to him in second place.
[15:20] So he went 2-2 on the day, Julian that is.
[15:23] And then Levi kitchen, this pass, while we're showing it, he's going to get around Ryder D.
[15:28] I believe this is for fifth place.
[15:29] But he actually been able to keep the red plate by this pass by one point over Joe Shimoda.
[15:35] Brought everybody else in this field with Seth going out and everything.
[15:38] But Levi still holds on to that red plate.
[15:40] But the man of the day was this guy right here.
[15:43] Different guy, little mini version of Hunter Lawrence.
[15:46] And this guy can run away from this championship if they allow Cole Davies to win like this.
[15:52] Yeah, big momentum and a big hug from Mom for the young man out of New Zealand.
[15:58] There is another podium for Beaumere, who's also right in it.
[16:02] Championship-wise, he's been great to start the season as well.
[16:05] Shimoda said it wasn't his best day, but he still came up with third.
[16:09] He had an unbelievable battle with Muneer on that tunnel jump, especially as you were alluding to.
[16:14] Muneer, a solid run in Moto 2, the third.
[16:16] It gives him fifth overall.
[16:18] And look at these points in this championship.
[16:21] This is absolutely nuts.
[16:22] It is a one-point lead for Kitchen over Shimoda.
[16:26] He has two points on Beaumere and seven points on Davies.
[16:29] And it's so tight that Hamaker, despite having crashed out of a Moto, is still down only 16 points.
[16:35] So all five of them, they're in contention.
[16:38] Best case scenario for all these guys.
[16:40] Really good.
[16:41] Yep.
[16:41] And a week off for everyone to think about it.
[16:43] But they're going to have to think about Cole Davies a lot, because we already know what he can do when he gets momentum.
[16:49] He did it in Supercross and won that 250 East title going away.
[16:53] And that's why he has, when you combine the Supercross and Motocross points together, this big gap.
[16:58] Kitchen and Hamaker, second and third in those playoff rankings.
[17:02] All right, Cole Davies on top today.
[17:04] Send it back down to Jason Thomas.
[17:07] Well, thanks, Weech.
[17:08] And I was setting up trying to think about what I wanted to share with all of you.
[17:12] And I couldn't decide between, you know, high points, done and dusted, or it's all over but the crying.
[17:17] But I think both work because it is so dusty over here in this section right now.
[17:22] It's absolutely blown out.
[17:23] And also, if I had to race, I would probably cry uncle if you put me out on this track right now.
[17:27] But, you know, on a serious note, the tracks have been different in 2026 so far, and it really starts in qualifying.
[17:34] I've tried to make note of it in the mornings.
[17:36] The track is in prime condition in these qualifying sessions, but that's leading to really, really tricky hard pack conditions late in the day.
[17:45] And I'm not sure if that has just been circumstance or if that's been purposeful, but it has been noticeable and it's been consistent so far.
[17:52] So I'm wondering, will riders start pivoting what they do during the week?
[17:55] Are they going to let the tracks maybe get a little bit more hard pack, a little bit, like, harder bumps that changes the suspension versus the perfectly groomed and perfectly tractioned racetracks that they practice on throughout the week?
[18:08] Because as a former racer, I know that the bikes work differently, and the riders are probably dealing with that.
[18:14] You can just see the little bit of discomfort they have in the second motos.
[18:17] And, Weege, I know you talked to Levi Kitchen this morning about, hey, this is a lot different than what we're used to.
[18:22] So I don't know where we go from here.
[18:24] You know, we're going to go to Red Bud, one of the best tracks on the circuit.
[18:28] It's America's national.
[18:29] It's a racetrack that typically has a lot of traction, so maybe that bucks the trend.
[18:33] But moving forward, maybe we see a shift in how these guys are preparing week to week.

[19:22] These are women's motocross highlights from pro motocross at High Point.
[19:26] How about this debut?
[19:27] Just turned 17.
[19:29] That means she can turn pro.
[19:31] And Mayla Herrick off to the races with a hole shot.
[19:33] Yeah, she came out this first moto, first ever moto in WMX, and was strong.
[19:39] She was able to get away, about almost four or five second lead in that opening lap.
[19:43] Normally, we're looking at the number one do that.
[19:45] But you can see her down the middle of the screen.
[19:46] She didn't get a bad start, considering some of the starts this season.
[19:50] But that opening lap gap that she was down on the leader was phenomenal.
[19:56] So she goes to work on McCutcheon for fourth place here.
[20:00] You can see Nielsen in front of her, which she's going to work her way up in here in third place.
[20:05] Nice pass.
[20:06] And coming into this race, Lala was sixth, so we weren't really sure on how she was going to feel.
[20:10] Well, she looked good this first moto, fighting all the way through.
[20:14] And this was the last lap.
[20:15] Van Drunen's in second.
[20:16] But this was the rookie, the 17-year-old.
[20:19] Happy birthday, winning her first ever moto here at Hotpoint, moto number one.
[20:25] Unreal debut for Mayla Herrick.
[20:26] That's on Friday.
[20:27] Now, moto two, here's the problem.
[20:29] Herrick is hit in turn one, and she's in the center of that pile and down hard.
[20:34] Yeah, that was tough.
[20:35] We end up having to red flag this and going from the high to lows of the sport, as that quickly can change.
[20:40] This is with Charlie Cannon, who had a so-so day yesterday, probably disappointing for her, especially fighting this championship for Lachlan Turner.
[20:48] And so, great opportunity, but understandably, we had the red flag to race.
[20:53] Crazy moment in the race.
[20:54] This is Van Drunen, who finished second.
[20:57] That first moto, her hole shot device got stuck.
[21:00] And so, they end up having to take her out.
[21:02] They had to throw oil on their motorcycle.
[21:03] There was a lot of stuff going on.
[21:05] But second restart, it was the champ out front doing something she's done so far every race this year.
[21:12] Pulling away, executing it, and being under the weather.
[21:15] You knew she needed that gap.
[21:18] This is Van Drunen coming up through the pack.
[21:20] She did a great job at fighting, but that start, she was dead last off the gate, not riding with that hole shot device really cost her.
[21:27] She's going to make her way up on the inside of Jarvis here for fourth place, but that was as far as she was going to go.
[21:35] Moment of the race.
[21:36] We've seen it a lot this year, a lot sometimes out front.
[21:39] Usually it's earlier.
[21:40] This is only with two laps left.
[21:42] She gets cross-rutted, knocks the wind out of her.
[21:44] Sick, tough.
[21:46] She picks up that motorcycle, but it's kind of becoming a thing with her.
[21:49] She's out front, and what's also becoming a thing is Charlie being there to pick up those pieces.
[21:55] She needed this race, and to come back, first ever, second moto victory here, but first overall in WMX this year.
[22:03] Charlie, exactly what she needed.
[22:05] Congratulations.
[22:05] That's your overall winner.
[22:07] And Perseverance pays off, fifth in the first moto.
[22:10] That's way below par for her, and she comes back to end up with the overall win with a 5-1.
[22:14] And then Drunin went through pretty much everything you can go through in moto, too, but still ends up on the podium with a 2-4.
[22:22] Well done for her coming over from Holland.
[22:26] Nilsen fourth overall, Jarvis fifth.
[22:29] And, man, get well soon to Mayla Herrick.
[22:32] Not sure of her situation there with the injury in turn one.
[22:35] What a debut it is.
[22:37] Turner has a just six-point lead over Cannon, and now there's a large break.
[22:41] WMX will resume for the final three rounds of this championship in August.
[22:46] So we'll see what could change at that point for the WMX series powered by Synchrony.
[22:55] Welcome back to the booth here, Jason and James.
[22:57] So a weekend off, and not just any race when the series resumes.
[23:00] I just cannot even imagine what that crowd, first of all, is going to be like at Redbud,
[23:05] which just happens on America's 250th birthday to fall on July 4th, Saturday.
[23:11] Amazing timing there that you could not plan.
[23:13] And the crowd is going to be wild.
[23:15] It's already been great so far this year.
[23:17] And I'm going to start with the 450 class.
[23:19] You nailed it at the top of the show.
[23:21] You said, yes, Jet Lawrence has a lot more wins than Hunter Lawrence.
[23:24] But lately, things are trending the right way in general for the 96.
[23:28] And, boy, now those things are off the charts at this point.
[23:31] Yeah, and a lot of that comes from Hunter and all his resilience he's had.
[23:37] Like, I mean, his whole career, the injuries, the bounce back.
[23:39] You knew if he would just figure it out, he had the right mindset to be able to come out here
[23:43] and compete.
[23:44] It was just whether he can figure that part out.
[23:46] Well, he did.
[23:47] And he did it in a strong way.
[23:49] And we talked after the show.
[23:51] It's rare to see Jet Lawrence lose any kind of race.
[23:54] But I've never seen him lose a race that he basically was leading at one point
[23:58] and just kind of get pulled away from with his brother.
[24:00] And then also the way it happened.
[24:03] Hunter Lawrence, it looked easy.
[24:05] It looked easy.
[24:06] And to have that for Hunter Lawrence twice this year, you know, we have four rounds.
[24:10] Hunter Lawrence just went 1-1 in two of these rounds.
[24:14] It is really to the opening of what I said in the show.
[24:16] This year is different.
[24:17] Hunter Lawrence is a different person.
[24:19] And he showed you today.
[24:20] And I would say we have a fight here in this championship.
[24:23] Yeah, maybe the first time they've seen Jet Lawrence on podium in 450 motocross,
[24:27] not really having an answer.
[24:28] The standard having to go to the we're going to work on the bike,
[24:30] we're going to work over the break and try to get it back.
[24:33] Hunter's got everyone on notice right now.
[24:35] As for the 250 class, it probably looks surprising to see this from Cole Davies
[24:40] because the results haven't been there besides one good moto he really had at Hangtown.
[24:44] But I think in the pits, and I think you and I thought there was a good chance
[24:48] that at some point this kid had the talent, it was going to hit.
[24:50] It just happened to take four rounds.
[24:52] But I almost feel like it was inevitable that we were going to see this from him.
[24:55] Yeah, and I think the hard part for the outsiders is it's easy
[24:58] because Cole hasn't raced outdoors, so you don't know.
[25:01] And he doesn't speak that much when we do hear from him.
[25:04] But I know what I see.
[25:06] That kid has talent.
[25:07] His dad obviously knows how good he is.
[25:09] Bobby has started racing.
[25:10] We know inside the pits.
[25:11] So to me, Cole Davies is one guy, even coming into this championship,
[25:16] I felt like if he won early in the season, he can run away from this.
[25:20] That's how good he is.
[25:21] Unfortunately for him, there were some weird motos,
[25:24] so we really wasn't sure what version of Cole Davies we got.
[25:27] Well, if we get this version, I don't care who's racing.
[25:30] This guy is hard to beat.
[25:31] And we're going to find out next weekend, or a couple weeks in Red Bud.
[25:35] That's going to make next weekend, or next race they have in two weeks,
[25:40] very, very critical to stop the momentum.
[25:43] That'll be Red Bud, July 4th, race day live.
[25:46] Qualifying coverage at 10 a.m. on Peacock.
[25:48] And the racing, of course, begins at 1 o'clock.
[25:51] That's all Eastern time.
[25:52] And we'll follow it up like we're doing today with the SMX Insider post-race show
[25:56] presented by Bass Pro Shops.
[25:59] And that 250 class, the points are unbelievably close.
[26:01] We can go in any direction.
[26:03] That makes each race so important.
[26:05] It'll be the 5.11 Red Bud National.
[26:08] Here's the track map.
[26:09] Take us through it, James.
[26:11] Yeah, well, Red Bud, that's a phenomenal layout.
[26:13] I mean, they always do some tweaks here and there.
[26:15] But favorite rider, favorite circuit on the track, the season for the riders,
[26:20] they look forward to it, always good conditions.
[26:23] And what JT said in his track report, I think we'll find out here,
[26:26] is this delivered, what they're trying to do with these racetracks?
[26:29] Because if this racetrack at Red Bud, who always has phenomenal traction,
[26:33] ends up like this, then they're doing that on purpose.
[26:36] But we'll find out in a couple weeks.
[26:38] Jason, happy Father's Day, man.
[26:40] Yeah, same to you.
[26:41] You said it right on Friday.
[26:42] You're like, man, I miss my kids.
[26:43] Same here.
[26:44] I'm going to go hang up my daughter, who actually was here this weekend.
[26:46] I've got to get home to my son, the rest of the family.
[26:48] Seth Hamaker slipped away from him there
[26:50] and slipped right into the hands of the 37 of Cole Davies in the 250 class.
[26:55] Hunter Lawrence in control in the 450s.
[26:59] Yeah, he beat Jett today.
[27:01] There'll be a rematch coming up at Red Bud.
[27:03] Great racing at High Point.
[27:05] We say congrats to the winners.
[27:07] Salute to the dads.
[27:08] We'll see everybody in two weeks at Red Bud.
[27:09] We'll see everybody in two weeks at Red Bud.
