"I think a lot of people may have questioned me leaving Star [Yamaha], but I believed in these guys from day one, and we worked our butts off all off-season, and it really shows. I'm just so happy to be back up here on the top step." Haiden Deegan crossed the line second overall with podi - ums in the first two races. No one can fault Deegan's effort on the night.

A 2-3 started his night and had a good shot at the overall win going into the final race. Smith capped off his night in style with a victory in race three, giving him a 2-3-1 result for the big overall win. This was the first win of the season for Smith and the first Supercross win for the Triumph brand.

He's been in the title hunt more times than we can remember, but it's never come to fruition for the gritty veteran. ROUND 4 / FEBRUARY 1, 2025 STATE FARM STADIUM | GLENDALE, ARIZONA SUPERCROSS I MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS / SUPERMOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P64 Haiden Deegan didn't win a main but still finished second overall in 250SX.
