HOUSTON, Texas: Haiden Deegan made short work of the field in the first Triple Crown of the season to score his third win of 2026 as Levi Kitchen rebounded from a poor start to score his first podium on the season.
This was the first time in his career Deegan earned three Supercross wins in a row.
“It’s racing,” Deegan told Peacock’s Jason Thomas when asked about his confrontations with Kitchen. “I’m just trying to get to the front and win these races. I’m down for cat and mouse. Aggressive is pretty much my middle name at this point.”
Kitchen used great starts in all three races to score two second-place finishes plus a third and easily slot into second overall.
“I’ve kind of gotten used to the trash talk and that kind of stuff,” Kitchen said. "[I’ve] had a rough career. I’ve had a good career, but I’ve had a lot of ups and downs.”
Teammate Cameron McAdoo took the final spot on the podium with two third-place finishes and a fourth.
Maximus Vohland (5-4-6) finished fourth overall with Ryder DiFrancesco (6-5-5) rounded out the top five.
