Mount Morris, Pennsylvania – June 14, 2025 — In a weekend drenched in drama, speed, and soaked soil, Pro Motocross fans at High Point Raceway witnessed a milestone moment as Eli Tomac etched his name deeper into the sport’s history books with his 100th career podium finish. At the same time, Jett Lawrence reminded the world why he’s the current golden boy of motocross, powering to his 19th career win in the premier class.
What was billed as a showdown between youth and experience turned into a masterclass from both ends of the spectrum.
Tomac’s journey back to the top has been nothing short of remarkable. After a string of injuries threatened to dull the final chapters of his illustrious career, the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing veteran came to High Point with one goal: to prove he’s still elite. And he did exactly that.
With a gritty 5th-place finish in Moto 1, Tomac stayed within striking range of the leaders despite challenging track conditions. But in Moto 2, he was a man on fire. Bursting off the gate and seizing the lead early, Tomac rode with the calm confidence of a champion, never letting off the throttle until the checkered flag waved.
The 1st-place finish in Moto 2 elevated him to 3rd overall, but more significantly, it marked his 100th podium in AMA premier-class competition—a feat achieved by only a handful of riders in the sport’s long history. From Supercross stadiums to the rugged tracks of Pro Motocross, Tomac has built a legacy defined by power, precision, and perseverance.
“It feels incredible. To come back from injury and hit 100 podiums at one of my favorite tracks—it’s special,” Tomac said after the race. “This journey has had its ups and downs, but days like this make it all worth it.”
This podium puts him among the all-time greats, further cementing his reputation as one of the most consistent and dominant riders of the last decade. At 32, Tomac continues to defy expectations and hint that retirement may still be a distant concept.
While Tomac was writing history, Jett Lawrence was busy maintaining his recent domination of the 450cc class. The Team Honda HRC rider extended his winning streak with Moto scores of 1–3, snatching the overall by the slimmest of margins over his older brother, Hunter Lawrence.
In Moto 1, Jett executed a flawless ride, pulling away from the pack and showcasing his characteristic blend of smooth lines, quick reflexes, and smart throttle control. But Moto 2 didn’t start as smoothly. A poor start left him buried in the field, and by lap one, he was sitting outside the top eight. Undeterred, Jett began to surgically pick off riders one by one.
His comeback to 3rd place in Moto 2 was enough to give him the overall win when the race was red-flagged due to lightning. At just 21 years old, Lawrence now has 19 wins in the 450cc class—a number that continues to grow almost every round.
“That was a tough one,” Jett admitted. “I didn’t get the start I wanted in the second moto, but I kept my head down. These are the kinds of races that test you. Happy to come away with another win.”
With each outing, Lawrence demonstrates why he’s the rider to beat in 2025. His technical finesse, mental focus, and uncanny ability to recover from bad situations make him look more like a seasoned veteran than a still-rising star.

Tomac’s resurgence adds an exciting wrinkle to the 2025 Pro Motocross narrative. Fans are now wondering: could he steal more wins, or even make a late push for the title? With rounds still to come and his confidence clearly restored, it’s far from impossible.
Meanwhile, Jett Lawrence is on the cusp of something historic. If his pace holds steady, he could become one of the fastest riders to reach 25 wins in the premier class—a number few reach in an entire career.
The High Point National had it all: muddy drama, lightning delays, comeback stories, and a powerful mix of youth and experience. Eli Tomac’s 100th podium isn’t just a number—it’s a celebration of longevity and resilience. Jett Lawrence’s 19th win isn’t just another stat—it’s the sound of a dynasty in the making.
As we head into the heart of the motocross season, one thing is certain: the past, present, and future of the sport are all alive and thriving—and fans are in for a wild ride.
