Dunlop Riders Swept All Three Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championships and Race Podiums!

RANDO CUCAMONGE, CA – May 14, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – The 2024 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship season concluded in Salt Lake City, marking another monumental achievement for Dunlop’s Supercross racing program. For the fifteenth consecutive season, Dunlop riders not only swept all three championships and race podiums but also amassed a staggering 181 SX and MX Championships, a feat unmatched by any other company.

In the 450SX class, the varied talent pool of experienced and young riders made for some great racing throughout the season! Team Honda HRC’s and last year’s 250SX West Coast champion, Jett Lawrence, showed he was the rider to beat, winning the first round in Anaheim and seven more throughout the season, proving A1 wasn’t a fluke.

During the season, seven different points leaders raced with the red number plates, showing just how competitive the smaller bore series really is. It all came down to the final round and east/west showdown, where Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle needed to finish eleventh or better for the East. At the same time, it was a winner-take-all situation between Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Levi Kitchen and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire, who were tied in points for the West. Vialle struggled during the day, barely qualifying for the main, but put it together when it counted, finishing eighth on the night and taking home his first 250SX championship in only two years being stateside!
