Ryder Malinoski took the lead from his ClubMX training partner and teammate Jesson Turner on Lap 4 of 13 in the first 250 Pro Sport Moto in Day 1 of the Loretta Lynn's Amateur Nationals in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, and stretched his advantage to as much as six seconds in the closing laps.
Malinoski and Turner had to get around Team Husqvarna Amateur Racing's Max Shane on the first lap before they rapidly gained and advantage on the field.
Turner kept his ClubMX rival in sight for several laps before gradually losing contact midway through the race.
The critical moment was Lap 5, when a bobble by Turner allowed
Malinoski to expand his gap from two-tenths of a second to nearly three. From that point on, he was able to control the flow of the race.
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's Landon Gibson rounded out the podium after fighting his way through the field. He started the race in 10th and did not achieve the podium position until Lap 9.

Max Anstie will join ClubMX for the remainder of the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship and remain with the team through 2028. The announcement came 10 days after he announced the parting of ways with Monster Energy / Yamaha Star Racing.
"We're incredibly excited to welcome Max to ClubMX," said Brandon Haas, Owner of ClubMX in a news release. "I've always respected the way Max carries himself. He's a true professional and represents himself exactly the way you'd want someone to represent your organization. He's the kind of person who naturally raises the level of everyone around him, and I honestly don't believe we've seen the best version of Max yet."
The deal includes the 2026 SMX Playoffs. Anstie is currently 44 points above the cutoff line of 21st in combined Monster Energy Supercross and Pro Motocross points. He has not raced in the outdoor series since a crash in the first moto at Fox Raceway in the season opener.
If he falls out of the top 20 in combined points, Anstie will be guaranteed a spot in the Last Chance Qualifiers for the three playoff rounds after winning the first race of the Supercross 250 West division at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.
Anstie's role at ClubMX will be more than simply as a rider. Considering the youth of the majority of the team's riders, Anstie will provide mentorship.
