Double points and a Supercross-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 riders in the SMX Next series 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 and broken brake lever 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 fifth in 250 SMX points and premier-class favorite Eli Tomac scores a second-consecutive podium and sits third in the championship.
