The 250 class comes together in Salt Lake City for the final East/West Showdown of the 2026 Supercross season. With both championships already decided, Haiden Deegan and Cole Davies enter the finale with their respective titles secured, but the showdown still gives both divisions one last chance to prove where they stack up against each other. Even without a championship on the line, Salt Lake City has plenty of interest with the East and West riders sharing the same gate.

Qualifying showed just how competitive the combined field will be. Seth Hammaker set the pace with the fastest time overall, logging a 48.871 to put himself at the top of the board. Deegan was second quickest with a 49.113, showing that even with the West title already wrapped up, he is still pushing for the win. Levi Kitchen was third with a 49.667, followed by Nate Thrasher and Cole Davies to round out the top five. With Hammaker leading the East riders, Deegan still right there for the West, and riders like Kitchen, Thrasher, Davies, Daxton Bennick and Lux Turner all showing speed, the final showdown is set up to be one of the better 250 races of the season.

Haiden Deegan grabbed the holeshot, but Max Anstie wasted no time moving into the lead early.

Deegan quickly went to work on Anstie and applied pressure through the opening laps before making the pass and taking control out front.

A few laps later, Davies moved into second and started to close in on Deegan, who had built roughly a two-second lead. Behind them, the battle between McAdoo and Hammaker began to heat up, but things took a major turn in the whoops. Hammaker made a mistake and went over the bars, which also collected McAdoo, sending both riders down hard and ending their race.

Back up front, Davies continued to cut into Deegan’s lead and eventually got close enough to make a move. Davies made the pass, but Deegan immediately countered and kept the fight alive. The battle intensified from there, with Davies making an aggressive move that nearly put Deegan on the ground before finally breaking away at the front.

Deegan tried to respond and close the gap back down, but while attempting to make the pass back on Davies, he went down. He remounted quickly, only to make another mistake in the sand section that dropped him farther back. That opened the door for Levi Kitchen to move into second, while Anstie settled into third. Out front, Davies never looked back once he had a clear track and went on to take the win in an eventful East/West Showdown.
