CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.
(September 18, 2025) –
The countdown is
underway until the
world’s most prestigious
motocross race makes its
anticipated return to
the United States when
the 78th running of the Monster
Energy FIM Motocross of
Nations (MXoN)
brings the racing world
to Crawfordsville,
Indiana. A total of 38
teams from 36 different
countries and two
international
delegations, each
comprising three of
every nation’s most
elite athletes, will
converge at Ironman
Raceway for a three-day
showcase of the best
motocross racing on the
planet from October 3-5.
An action-packed weekend
will feature a variety
of activities both on
and off the track, which
will immerse the
international contingent
of passionate race fans
and loyal supporters
into an Olympic style
atmosphere where
national pride is
celebrated, and
camaraderie serves as
the centerpiece of the
biggest event on the
racing calendar. A
variety of ticket
options for the 2025
MXoN are still
available, ranging from
single-day admission for
Sunday’s championship
races to four-day
admission that allows
fans to be a part of all
the festivities, not to
mention exclusive VIP

and most memorable
spectator experience.

A total of 108 athletes
from six different
continents will wear the
colors of their
respective countries and
will go bar-to-bar over
the course of the
weekend, all of which
will culminate with a
battle for the coveted
Chamberlain Cup. While Australia enters
the MXoN as defending
champions and will
return with its winning
lineup of Hunter
Lawrence, Jett Lawrence,
and Kyle Webster, there
is no shortage of
countries poised to
challenge their
supremacy, brimming with
the finest talent from
the SMX World
Championship Series and
FIM Motocross World
Championship (MXGP).
Look no further than the
host nation to find
arguably the most
prominent threat to
Australia’s current
reign. The USA is
the winningest country
in the history of the
MXoN and will not only
have the full-fledged
support of the home
crowd but will also
feature a lineup defined
by multi-time champions
in Haiden Deegan, Chase
Sexton, and Eli Tomac.
The last time Sexton and
Tomac represented their
country on home soil at
RedBud in 2022, it
resulted in a record
23rd victory for the
Americans. Equipped with
what could be considered
one of the most
decorated and talented
lineups in U.S.
Motocross Team history,
all eyes will be on the
stars and stripes as
they chase a 24th
triumph.
Other recent champions
like the Netherlands,
with Glenn Coldenhoff,
Calvin Vlaanderen, and
Kay de Wolf, France,
with Romain Febvre,
Maxime Renaux, and
Mathis Valin, Germany,
with Simon Lagenfelder,
Ken Roczen, and Max
Spies, and Italy,
with Andrea Adamo,
Andrea Bonacorsi, and
Antonio Cairoli, are all
loaded with former FIM
World Champions and AMA
National Champions,
along with multi-race
winners. Not to be
outdone, less proven
countries like Slovenia,
led by Tim Gajser, Switzerland,
led by Jeremy Seewer, Latvia,
led by Pauls Jonass,
and Belgium,
anchored by the Coenen
brothers, will fly under
the radar and could be
surprise contenders
thanks to the hugely
talented athletes at the
foundation of their
respective teams.
