ROUND 7 / JULY 12, 2025 SPRING CREEK MOTOCROSS PARK | MILLVILLE, MINNESOTA MOTOCROSS I AMA PRO MOTOCROSS / SUPERMOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P74 race lead and never relinquished it. Like a storybook ending, the former champ clinched victory in his final Pro MX race at his home venue with a gap of 7.161 seconds. His 3-1 scores gave him second overall. Martin's last moto win came at Budds Creek 2021, where he finished 3-1 for first overall. "It was a fairytale ending to my career," Martin said. "I was a yard sale [at rounds one and two]. I took a break and got everything better. Man, what a dream day. It's an honor to bat - tle with these guys and see the pace of the next generation. I knew that if I got a start, I could do something. My bike was on rails. It's been an awful past two Deegan's second-place finish behind Martin was enough for him to garner the overall win. Martin made his final ap - pearance of his Pro Motocross career on Saturday at his home track.

"I've been laid up on the couch all week," Deegan said. "I was going to give it all I got, but Jo was moving. We ended up coming to a gnarly battle at the end. It was pretty fun, and I was out of breath." Moto two saw Deegan get off to a much slower start as he slotted into second just after the halfway mark behind Jeremy Martin. However, Martin was too far gone for Deegan to catch. Millville's own Jeremy Martin (6) capped off his professional racing career with a 250MX moto win. He holeshot both 250MX motos.
