ROUND 10 / AUGUST 18, 2025 UNADILLA MX | NEW BERLIN, NEW YORK MOTOCROSS I AMA PRO MOTOCROSS / SUPERMOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P66 looked comfortable as he led all but three laps throughout the day. Aside from a brief off-track moment during the early part of moto one, the number 18 kept it steady and easily won both races in typical Jett-dominant fashion. The Unadilla track was one of the toughest of the year, but Lawrence hopped, skipped and jumped his way to a 1-1 450MX After a stiff one-lap penalty last week at Ironman, Jett Law- rence was eager to return to his winning ways. The chance to claim his second 450MX title was within reach, and the young phenom had never lost two overalls in a row since moving to the 450MX class. Despite the circumstances, Lawrence 19 JORDON SMITH 7TH (8-9) 250MX Jordon Smith got the better end of the deal, finishing seventh overall with 8-9 results. "It was a solid day, de- spite crashing once in each moto," he said. "I was trying to pass into sixth when I fell in moto one; it was late in the race. I was in a similar position when I made the mistake in moto two, but my riding was maybe the best that it has been all year. We made some positive improvements on the bike." 51 JUSTIN BARCIA 8TH (9-8) 450MX Justin battled his way to another top 10 finish at his home race. "We made a lot of positive adjustments, and I felt better each time I went on the track," Barcia said. "The first moto was super tricky, because the track was one of the more gnarly Unadillas that I have raced. It was very busy out there, and I didn't get the greatest of starts today, as I wasn't on the paddle tire. I ate a lot of roost, but all in all we charged hard, made improvements." MYOWNRACE Hunter Lawrence (96) was the only rider who mathematically had a shot of prolonging the championship. He tried hard but came up short.
