three of four overall wins and a worst finish of second place, Deegan leads the points by 42 over Jo Shimoda. Tom Vialle finished second overall to take his second 250MX podium of the year. The KTM rider landed on the box to start the season but hasn't finished in the top three since round one. His day came to life in the second moto with an early holeshot and a strong pace in the opening laps. Vialle slotted into third for most of the race but earned an extra spot on the final lap after Chance Hymas fell while in second place. This bumped Vialle up a position and gave him enough points to take second overall, his best result of the year. "Today was a lot better," Vialle said. "Hangtown was tough. I had a crash, and I hurt my elbow pretty bad. My last two races have been bad in terms of results, so today was trying to build and get back on the podium. My plan was not to win. Haiden is riding fast. I'm trying to build my speed and my riding, so today the goal was to be on the podium." Levi Kitchen earned third over - all for the third round in a row. The Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider is fighting an uphill battle in terms of points after a poor start to the season, but he turned it around in the first moto with a season-best second-place result to start the day. Moto two didn't go exactly to plan, as Kitchen rounded lap one in 16th position. "I messed up lap one and almost fell," Kitchen said. "I went back to 16th but was able to work my way back up. I didn't expect to be on the podium because I didn't ride great that moto, but I'm grateful to be on the box." A sixth at the line showed strong progress for the Kawa - saki rider, who also benefited from Hymas' late-race tip-over and grabbed the final spot on ROUND 4 / JUNE 14, 2025 HIGH POINT RACEWAY | MT. MORRIS, PENNSYLVANIA MOTOCROSS I AMA PRO MOTOCROSS / SUPERMOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P80 Tom Vialle finished on the 250MX podium for the first time since round one.
