CONCORD, North Carolina: Ty Masterpool posted the fastest time in qualification for Round 1 of the SuperMotocross World Championship at zMax Dragway with a time of 1:56.957, but as an unseeded rider, he will need to race his way in via the Wild Card (Last Chance Qualifier) race. Masterpool set his fastest time in the first session with a time that was one second faster than Haiden Deegan’s 1:57.973, also from the first session.
Deegan’s time held up for second overall.
Levi Kitchen (1:58.578) moved up to third overall in the second session.
Returning from a broken leg, Max Anstie (1:58.641) jumped to fourth overall.
Daxton Bennick (1:58.910) rounded out the top five.
Third-seeded Garrett Marchbanks (1:59.628) landed 10th on the chart with the second-seed, Jo Shimoda (2:00.103), continuing to struggle in Time Trials. He was 12th overall.
Julien Beaumer brought out a red flag with a hard crash during the session. He was helped off the track and is questionable for the feature. If he is unable to mount up for the afternoon program, his position will be filled via the Wild Card race.
Qualification 2 Results
Combined Qualification
Qualification 1
Deegan was fastest in the first qualification session for Round 1 of the 2025 SuperMotocross Championship at zMax Dragway with a time of 1:57.973.
With this fast lap, Deegan reversed the order from Friday’s practice when he was relegated to second behind Seth Hammaker at the end of two sessions.
Hammaker logged a lap of 1:59.069 to land second on the chart, but his fastest lap came before a late-session crash caused slight damage to his bike.
Tom Vialle (1:59.272) was quiet toward the end of the Pro Motocross, but he is peaking when it matters most. Vialle was third on the chart.
Vialle’s teammate Julien Beaumer (1:59.660) was fourth with Ryder DiFrancesco (1:59.931) rounding out the top five.
Shimoda (2:00.946) was only 12th on the chart, but he did not escape the notice of No. 1 seed Deegan. Toward the end of the first session, Deegan waited for Shimoda coming out of the sand section and pulled a wheelie beside the rider who was his principal rival through the next rhythm section. The rivalry is real.
Wild Card Race
Masterpool won the Wild Card race and will race in the features.
Max Anstie finished second with Cullin Park rounding out the podium.
Bennick, Lux Turner, Gage Linville, and Henry Miller also advance.
