This marked the seventh year of Salt Lake City hosting the final round of Supercross.
The goods!
The pits are broken up at SLC into a main parking lot up front, rigs on a side road, and privateers in a small parking lot behind the stadium.
Crockett Myers is SPEED.
5.11 had a much larger presence with Triumph at the final round.
Again, it's just cool to see another brand supporting the sport with the series and teams.
Larry, it was good to see you back at the races. Congrats on your title as the manager of a private team that took home the 450 title. This is actually Larry's third different program that's privately ran to do it (manager of the Chaparral/McGrath program, manager and part-owner of L&M when they won with Reed and Stewart, and now as the manager of HEP with Roczen).
Kenny didn't carry the red plate as long as Hunter or Eli, but he carried it at the right time.
Yes, test riders, R&D staff, and racing heads from Suzuki Japan have been at multiple rounds this year.
Jamie Ellis took home his own win as the publicly-available engine builder behind Roczen's RM-Z450 that won the title. He's also tied into the ClubMX, BarX, and Phoenix Honda program these days.
Deegan's last 250 featured a couple little nods, like this clutch cover from Rekluse.
Then the crew from FMF got with artist Michael J Kicks to produce this custom muffler for Deegan's 250 send-off, and yes, he raced with it.
Mitch Payton and Dave Gowland having a chat. There's a lot going on in the industry right now, and it would be fun to be a fly on the wall for conversations like this.
We have another member of cable-for-life.
After seeing Kitchen show up in Denver with a custom cable clutch for his PC KX250, we asked the team if anyone else would be on it. They said they actually held Kitchen back a few weeks from using it until they had enough parts for the entire team to swap if the riders wanted.
Well, Hammaker and Romano stayed hydro, but McAdoo joined Kitchen in cable world.
These radiator fan housings are just so sano.
Scott dropped a few new colors for SLC.
Mx6 has really stood out this year with a professional setup and a technical program that seems to be improving weekly.
We'll dive into this team more when outdoors comes.
Akrapovic exhausts are slowly making their way into the US market more and more.
Jamie Ellis isn't the only publicly-available engine builder making more inroads with teams. Chad Braun from XPR has done packages for MCR for over a decade and is doing more stuff for SLR Honda, Mx6 Kawasaki, and others throughout the pits.
Wanna know what kind of forks J-Coop is running? This will give you an idea.
PSF1 or LSF on deck.
Now that's a sick lid.
For now, this was Webb's last race with a number-one plate. Will a fourth one come in 2027 or 2028?
It's cool to see how many riders get to enjoy racing these days with their kids.
Riders aren't the only ones that get #1 plates.
There's a lot going on here...
One of the most common tricks in the pits.
With the news of Rockstar Energy Husqvarna's shuttering at the end of 2026 SMX, it was odd timing as SLC marked the weekend that Rockstar's updated branding was debuted on track.
The updated logos and colors weren't just for moto, as they've appeared on Rockstar's branding with recently signed NASCAR Cup points leader Tyler Reddick, along with some other motorsports entities such as Formula Drift drivers. However, it finally made its way to Moto this week.
Another look at the One Industries gear with Rockstar branding.
On the bike.
We're curious to see what team staff roll into the new KTM 250 program that Factory Husqvarna will ultimately become, who will transfer to other areas, and who might be looking for new gigs.
Big James was on hand for the series finale, as his son is one on the look for a ride for 2027.
Tomac stuck to the new proto Dunlop tire throughout the day. Here it's mounted in the reverse direction.
Tomac's front fender features the 3d printed holder for the GPS.
While Prado's is even taller to hold an RPM gauge for starts.
HRC crew was ready for the battle that night.
One of the reasons Hunter hasn't been spotted trying the new Dunlop tire is the fact that he leans towards a 120/80-19 style tire and his setup is built around that. The proto MC790 is currently only available as a 120/90-19, making it taller than the tire that he normally uses.
The junction in the hydraulic clutch cable measures clutch usage.
Some team managers and owners could be seen wandering the pits talking to OEMs about deals as things ramp up in preparation for 2027.
The series finale podium didn't feature any of the riders inside the top three for wins on the season (Tomac, Hunter Lawrence, and Roczen).
Now begins the feel-good moment.
And boy did this feel good to watch.
Congrats Ken Roczen...
YOU are an AMA 450 Supercross Champion.
His brother-in-law, Blake Savage, wanted a feel for the trophy.
Everyone from around Kenny's camp and even competitors came to congratulate him.
Chiz has had quite the positive influence on Kenny.
These two never got it done together, but they still got to enjoy this moment together in their own way.
Griffman got the goods!
Everyone enjoy the next weeks off...
