The roles were reversed last week after Hunter Lawrence’s violent crash in New York. That places a premium on the next two weeks as the Pro Motocross Series heads to Budds Creek MX Park in Mechanicsville, Maryland for Round 27 of the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX), Round 10 of the Pro Motocross season on Saturday, August 22, at 1 p.m. ET on Peacock.tv.
NBC Sports will cover three motos live this week, including Moto 2 of the WMX.
Race Day Live will cover qualification, beginning at 10 a.m. ET on Peacock on Saturday.
Overcoming the strength of Jett Lawrence means Hunter practically needs to win all four remaining motos. In previous seasons, that would be an almost impossible task, but Jett Lawrence is still not 100 percent as he battles a foot and ankle injury.
Jett and Hunter are not alone. Jorge Prado is knocking on the door of a victory and if he catches traffic right this week, he could play to role of spoiler. If that happens, the math gets a lot more interesting.
Levi Kitchen holds a slim one-point margin this week, which puts a premium on perfection for both riders. The problem is, neither rider has been mistake-free in 2026, so this championship is literally too close to call.
For those who live outside Southern Maryland and Virginia: All 31 rounds of the SuperMotocross season will be streamed live on Peacock.tv.
