The final SMX Next – Motocross event will take place Friday afternoon ahead of round 9 of the Pro Motocross Championship at Ironman Raceway.
The field is stacked with A and B riders, as AMA Horizon Award winner Enzo Temmerman and AMA Amateur Rider of the Year Deacon Denno are scheduled to race. RedBud SMX Next winner Landen Gordon is in the field, as is Landon Gibson, Luke Fauser, Owen Covell, McKayden Fitch and many more. This weekend will also mark the return of Star Racing Yamaha prospect Caden Dudney who missed Loretta Lynn’s.
While the pair of motos will be the focal point of Friday’s Ironman Combine, participants will also receive education surrounding other important aspects of the sport that occur away from the racetrack, including training, nutrition, and guidance on how to navigate the various layers of media engagement. These classroom-style sessions provide the foundation for the gathering, before racers line up behind the starting gate to determine who will prevail at Ironman Raceway.
“The timing of the third and final Scouting Moto Combine for SMX Next – Motocross could not be more ideal, as this crop of elite prospects are in peak form coming off a competitive week of racing at Loretta Lynn’s,” said Jim Perry, Program Director for the Scouting Moto Combine. “The Ironman gathering will mark the first time in the brief history of SMX Next and the Scouting Moto Combine that the newly crowned Nicky Hayden AMA Motocross Horizon Award winner will compete. We’ll also welcome the newly awarded AMA Amateur Rider of the Year in addition to another pair of Loretta Lynn’s champions. As a result, there will certainly be a greater level of interest in how the action unfolds on Friday afternoon.”
