2025 Women’s Motocross Championship Returns to Action at Ironman Raceway to Kick Off Second Half of 2025 Season

Second Moto to be Streamed Live on Peacock
During Ironman National Broadcast on Saturday

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (August 7, 2025) – After an extended summer break, a rejuvenated and replenished field of talent are set to return to action to commence the second half of the six-round 2025 Women’s Motocross Championship (WMX), an AMA National Championship. The fourth race of the season will bring the fastest females in the country to Indiana's dynamic Ironman Raceway for two days of racing, beginning with the first moto this Friday, August 8, followed by the second moto on Saturday, August 9, as part of the Pro Motocross Championship's Tucker Freight Lines Ironman National. As an added bonus for race fans all over the world, the second moto will be streamed live on Peacock as part of the Ironman National broadcast.

While four different riders have earned an overall podium result through the opening three rounds, back-to-back victories for Altus Motorsports BLU CRU Yamaha's Lachlan "La La" Turner have given the defending series champion a 13-point cushion in the standings. The Nevada native's primary challengers throughout the season thus far have been SLR Honda's Mikayla "Kay Kay" Nielsen, who won the opening round and currently sits second in the championship, and Quad Lock Honda's Charli Cannon, the multi-time Australian WMX titleholder who is finally at full strength after a surgically repaired finger hindered her start to the summer. Also making her presence felt has been former WMX Champion and ROTE Racing Yamaha rider Jordan Jarvis, another athlete back at full health after a crash at the second round resulted in several small injuries from which she gutted through the pain to still pace the lead trio. These four riders have shared the overall podium through the first three races and occupy four of the top five spots in the WMX standings.

One rider who has been in the thick of the hunt every step of the way but is somehow still in search of her first podium result of the season is last year's championship runner-up, Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green’s Kyleigh Stallings. Undoubtedly one of the best starters in WMX, it seems like only a matter of time before Stallings makes the battle up front a five-rider affair, which would add even more parity to a highly competitive season thus far.

Round 4 of the WMX Championship will formally get underway on Friday, August 8, with practice and qualifying, followed by the first moto at 12:30 p.m. ET. They'll run in conjunction with the final SMX Next – Motocross Scouting Moto Combine event.

On Saturday, the WMX will compete alongside the stars of the Pro Motocross Championship, with a late morning practice session followed by the second and deciding moto during halftime between the first and second set of 250 Class and 450 Class motos. The WMX field will determine who prevails at 3:14 p.m. ET, where viewers at home can simply stay tuned to Peacock or the SMX Video Pass for international audiences to see who captures the Ironman victory.
