MX of Nations Coming to America... ...T o Crawfordsville, Indiana, to be exact. Ironman Raceway will host the 78th edition of the Mo- tocross of Nations, October 3-5, 2025. RedBud hosted the last MXoN on U.S. soil in 2022. "We are proud to bring the 78th edition of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations to the USA in 2025," said David Luongo, Infront Moto Racing CEO. "We will head to the fantastic Iron - man Raceway, renowned for its challenging layout and rich history in the American Motocross. It will mark a new step in the outstand - ing collaboration Infront Moto Racing has with MX Sports. In this respect, I want to thank Carrie Rus - sell Coombs, Davey Coombs, Tim Cotter from MX Sports and all their team for turning this mutual project into life. I would like also to thank the city of Crawfordsville representative for supporting this event that will bring all the eyes and interest of the international motocross community to the region. "The MXoN is always a spe - cial event where riders don't just compete for themselves but for their nations. The pride, emotion and intensity that comes with this race is something you can feel in the air. We are expecting an unforgettable atmosphere, with American fans and fans from all over the world coming together to celebrate this amazing sport. "Thank you to everyone in - volved and we can't wait to see you all at Ironman Raceway for what promises to be one of the most exciting and memorable editions of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations." "I've been a lifelong fan of the Motocross of Nations, going back to the very early days of Team USA," said Davey Coombs, MX Sports CEO. "When our parents, Dave and Rita Coombs, hosted a 125cc U.S. Grand Prix in 1987, their ultimate goal was to one day host the Motocross of Nations. It didn't quite work out in my dad's lifetime, but we re - mained enthusiastic supporters when other great U.S tracks like Unadilla, Budds Creek, Thunder Valley and most recently RedBud got their shot. Finally, with the support of Infront and the entire community of Crawfordsville, Indiana, as well as all our fellow promoters of AMA Pro Moto - cross and Monster Energy Su- percross, the FIM and the AMA, it's our chance to host this epic event. The bar has been set high by all of the previous MXoN races in America, and we look forward to setting it even higher next Oc - tober at Ironman Raceway." In 2026, the Motocross of Nations will be held in France, re - turning to the Ernee Circuit, which hosted the race last year. CN WIND IN THE P24 Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, will host next year's Motocross of Nations.
