Double points and a SX-style track turn up the heat in St. Louis

Double points and a SX-style track turn up the heat in St. Louis for the penultimate round of the SMX Playoff. Racing kicks off with a show of dominance from young BLU CRU SMX Next riders with Yamaha sweeping the final podium and Kayden Minear being crowned the 2025 SMX Next Champion. Defending 250 SMX champ Haiden Deegan faces adversity after an impressive Moto 1 win is overshadowed by a crash in Moto 2, shuffling him back to second in championship points. Nate Thrasher continues his season-ending push securing a podium finish to move up to 5th in 250 SMX points and premier-class favorite Eli Tomac scores a 2nd-consecutive podium and sits 3rd in the championship.
