AMA Pro Motocross wrapped up at Budds Creek in Maryland with a milestone result for Honda HRC Progressive – brothers Jett and Hunter Lawrence finishing first and second in the 450 championship standings.
Jett had already locked in the premier-class crown a week earlier, but he stamped his authority one last time with another overall win at Budds Creek, thanks to a dominant moto 1 victory and a runner-up in moto 2. Hunter fought through the pack for third in the opener, then grabbed the holeshot in race two and pulled clear to take the moto win. The 3–1 scores secured him second overall on the day – and more importantly, second in the series standings.
It marks the first time in AMA Pro Motocross history that two brothers have finished 1–2 in the final premier-class rankings. The achievement also delivers Honda its first premier-class sweep since 2014, with Jett and Hunter joining names like Ricky Johnson and David Bailey (1986), Jean-Michel Bayle and Jeff Stanton (1991), and Ricky Carmichael and Kevin Windham (2003) as Honda duos to finish 1–2 in the series.
