JULY 29-AUGUST 2, 2025
LORETTA LYNN'S RANCH / HURRICANE MILLS, TENNESSEE
MOTOCROSS I AMA AMATEUR NATIONAL MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP
P88
1-1-1 in the 85cc (10-12) division.
Gieck got a poor start in the final
85cc (10-12) moto but fought his
way to the front to get the clean
sweep for the weekend.
Husqvarna's Landon Lee was
second in both championships,
while KTM's Whalyn Ballenger
was third in the 85cc (10-12) divi
-
sion, and fellow KTM rider Eidan
Steinbrecher was third in the
Limited division.
"The clean sweep feels good,"
said Gieck. "My trainer and I have
been working super hard. I haven't
honestly been riding the best this
year. So, it kind of lit something
inside of me, and I just decided to
work as hard as I could, and it got
me up here, so I'm super stoked."
Gregory Pamart claimed the
were fighting with Brown for the
lead, trading positions every few
laps. At the finish, Brown took
the win over Pine and Martin. In
the end, Pine's 2-1-2 proved good
enough to claim the champion
-
ship ahead of Martin's 1-2-3 and
Brown's 3-5-1.
"My start was trash again in
that last moto," said Pine. "But
my first laps were good, and I
caught up with the leaders, and
then I stayed right there. I don't
know what happened to Brown,
but it was a great race to get this
championship all buttoned up."
The Youth Rider of the Year
Award went to KTM's Sawyer
Gieck, who dominated the 85cc
(10-12) Limited division with
1-1-1 scores, as well as going
hurting badly, but I got it done.
I finished on the podium every
time other than that fourth, but
I'm just so glad I was able to get
this done, so grateful."
One of the most exciting
races of the week was the
Supermini 1 (12-15) race, which
came down to two title contend
-
ers—JM Racing GasGas' Darren
Pine and Roost MX GasGas'
Colt Martin, each with a first and
a second, setting up the show-
down in the third moto. Both
got poor starts, as Husqvarna's
Drew Marson and VIP Academy
KTM's Brecken Maas led the
way. JM Racing KTM's Gauge
Brown was soon mixing it up
with the front-runners.
On lap three, Martin and Pine
Tayce Morgan battled Maddox Temmerman for both of the Mini Sr titles.
