MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (July
9, 2025) – MX
Sports Pro Racing, Inc.,
in conjunction with
event organizers the
Martin family, has
announced that
Millville’s own Jeremy
Martin will serve double
duty at this Saturday’s
FXR Spring Creek
National Presented by
Frescados Tortillas, as
the Monster Energy
Yamaha Star Racing rider
will not only embark on
his final race, but will
also serve the role of
Grand Marshal at his
family’s event. The
seventh race of the 2025
Pro Motocross
Championship, sanctioned
by AMA Pro Racing, is
certain to be memorable
for the entire Martin
family, as Jeremy’s
decorated career is
celebrated in a farewell
ride in front of his
family, friends, and a
passionate hometown
crowd.
“I really cannot think
of a better way to put a
finishing touch on
Jeremy’s incredible
racing career than to
allow him to be honored
and celebrated by the
very people who have
supported him throughout
this journey,” said Alex
Martin, Jeremy’s older
brother who enjoyed a
stellar racing career of
his own and has now
taken the reins of the
family event. “That
doesn’t just include my
parents, my sister, and
myself, it also includes
the dozens of
individuals that have
played an integral role
in making Spring Creek a
world renowned
racetrack, the many who
guided Jeremy up to the
sport’s highest levels,
and the tens of
thousands of fans who
have embraced this race
as a summer tradition
for many, many years.
It’s been an incredible
ride, and we are beyond
excited to give him the
recognition he deserves
this weekend.”

Jeremy Martin’s Pro
Motocross career started
with an impressive
rookie campaign in 2013
that saw him make his
first two appearances on
the podium and finish
sixth in the 250 Class
championship to earn
Rookie of the Year
honors. The following
summer, Martin took the
series by storm,
capturing the first five
wins of his career,
including his first at
Spring Creek, to secure
the Gary Jones Cup as
250 Class Champion. He
successfully defended
his crown in 2015 to
become a back-to-back
champion, a rare feat
that only three riders
have achieved since the
turn of the new
millennium. From that
moment on, Martin became
a standard bearer of the
division.
While a third
championship eluded him,
Martin continued to rack
up wins and podiums at a
historic rate, including
a trio of Spring Creek
wins to share the
all-time mark at the
venue. As he enters his
final race, Martin sits
tied for fourth on the
all-time 250 Class wins
list with 20 victories
spanning eight seasons
and has sole possession
of second on the
all-time podiums list
with 46, one shy of
Steve Lamson’s record.
Martin’s farewell race
will also serve as a
full-circle moment for
his career, as he is set
to end his journey with
the same team he began
it with at Star Racing.

“You’d be hard pressed
to find a racer that has
managed to stay under
the radar for the
entirety of his career
despite possessing some
of the most decorated
accolades the 250
division has ever seen,”
said Davey Coombs,
President, MX Sports Pro
Racing. “However, that’s
Jeremy Martin in a
nutshell. He didn’t
worry about the
attention. He wasn’t
interested in being one
of the faces of the
sport. He simply wanted
to work hard, ride his
motorcycle, and win
races. His
competitiveness and
determination is
unparalleled and it’s
why he is truly not just
one of the all-time
greats of the 250 Class,
but of the Pro Motocross
Championship as a whole.
We look forward to
sharing this memorable
moment alongside Jeremy
and the entire Martin
family.”
The race will also serve
as a full-circle moment
for the entire Martin
family at Spring Creek.
During the 2008 season,
the Spring Creek
National marked Alex’s
first professional race,
where he finished 20th
overall. Eight years
later, in 2016, Alex and
Jeremy shared the Spring
Creek podium, with
Jeremy the overall
winner and Alex in
third, with only Cooper
Webb between them. The
brothers did it again at
Spring Creek in
2020 alongside Dylan
Ferrandis, with Jeremy
in second and Alex in
third. Following Alex’s
retirement at the end of
the 2022 season, it’s
only fitting that
Jeremy’s last race take
place where it all
started for the Martins.
