BY RYAN NITZEN PHOTOGRAPHY BY BROWNDOG WILSON T he 2024 Pro Motocross Cham- pionship is officially all wrapped up, with the series finale tak- ing place at the Ironman National in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Technically, the 450MX title was still up for grabs, but Chase Sexton was in the driver's seat with a comfortable points lead over his nearest rival, Hunter Lawrence. Sexton officially clinched the title after winning the first moto, with Lawrence finishing third. The KTM rider went on to win the second moto as well, leaving no doubt as to why he is the new champ. Law - rence went 3-6 on the day for fourth overall and second in the championship in his first full season in the class. The 250MX crown was sealed up at the previous race at Budds Creek, but that didn't stop the favorites from duk - ing it out at the front of the field. Tom Vialle came out on top, earning his first overall win of the year, while the new champ, Haiden Deegan, finished out the season with the moto win.
