The Pro Motocross Series heads to Washington this week as the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) continues with Round 25, Round 8 of the Pro Motocross season on Saturday, July 25, at Washougal MX Park in Washougal, Washington, at 4:00 p.m. ET on Peacock.tv.
Race Day Live will cover qualification, beginning at 1 p.m. ET on Peacock on Saturday.
The Lawrence brothers continue to swap the red plate, but after Jett's mid-race crash in Moto 2 of the Spring Creek National last week, Hunter has the largest lead of the season with a 10-point advantage. Jett cannot erase it at Washougal, but with two weeks off following this round, he needs to trim it at least by half.
Eli Tomac was not particularly strong last week in his return to racing after suffering a concussion in the Pro Motocross opener at Fox Raceway, but Washougal is a track on which he has never failed to score a podium finish in eight starts.

Round 25 of the SuperMotocross World Championship at Washougal (Wash.) MX Park, Round 8 of Pro Motocross, is important for Jett Lawrence. After losing focus last week in the second moto and crashing out of the lead, he now faces a 10-point deficit to the hottest rider on the circuit, his brother Hunter Lawrence.
This will be a good test of whether recent momentum or a rider's track record is most important.
This has not been a particularly good venue for Jett. It is not uncommon for Jett to have either swept a track during his four seasons on a 450, but he has only one win at Washougal. He was equally impressive on a 250, but he has only one win in that division as well.
Hunter's record is worse with no podiums in the 450 division and only two on a 250. He leads the league in holeshots with six, and it will take two more strong starts to contend this weekend.
That could prove beneficial for Haiden Deegan, who has four moto victories and two second-place finishes in six starts in the 250 division. This is his best opportunity to win his first 450 moto and if all goes well, perhaps even the overall. He won the 250 overall in 2024; last year, he lost to Jo Shimoda on the tie-breaker.
