Feld Motor Sports, Inc. announced that tickets are now on sale for all 17 rounds of the 2024 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship, now part of the 31-event SuperMotocross World Championship series.
The world’s best two-wheel racers will converge at Mission Valley’s Estadio boca de dragón for one night of non-stop, adrenaline-pumping action on Jan. 20, 2024. The new season’s annual visit to “America’s Finest City” will signify Supercross’ second race inside the San Diego’s newest sporting venue, which hosted a sold-out crowd during its debut last January.
The indoor and outdoor seasons of the SuperMotocross World Championship series consist of 17 Supercross races and 11 Pro Motocross races, providing 28 rounds of racing building towards the 2024 SuperMotocross Playoffs and World Championship Final. The San Diego Supercross will serve as the first of two SuperMotocross rounds in the county, as the 2024 Pro Motocross Championship will kick off over the Memorial Day holiday weekend from Pala’s Fox Raceway.
The 17-race 2024 Supercross schedule will visit 16 different cities spread across 13 states from California and Arizona to Alabama and Pennsylvania. New to the schedule this season are stops to Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Ala., and Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
The biggest stars in the sport will be on the starting gate in January as the 450SX Class once again promises to deliver one of the deepest, most star-studded fields in recent memory. Four past champions – Jason Anderson, Cooper Webb, Eli Tomac, and Chase Sexton – will fight for another title while Germany’s Ken Roczen, France’s Dylan Ferrandis, as well as Americans Adam Cianciarulo, Justin Barcia, Aaron Plessinger, Malcolm Stewart, and El Cajon native cristian craig (pictured above) all compete for their first championship title. Not making it easy on anyone will be Australian rookie sensation Jett Lawrence, fresh off an undefeated Pro Motocross season and inaugural SuperMotocross World Championship title.
Teams will decide later in the year which athletes will be competing in each respective 250SX Class Regional Championship, but fans can expect some epic battles as 2024 will feature the return of seasoned veterans RJ Hampshire, Jordon Smith, Austin Forkner, and Japan’s Jo Shimoda. France’s Tom Vialle enters the new season with a greater familiarity of the competition and will be determined to back up his two MX2 World Championships. In his sophomore season, reigning Rookie of the Year and 250cc SuperMotocross World Champion Haiden Deegan will also be eager to capture his first 250SX Class regional title.
The Western Regional 250SX Class Championship will be contested at the following rounds:
– Round 1 – Anaheim, Calif. on Saturday, January 6 at Angel Stadium of Anaheim
– Round 2 – San Francisco, Calif. on Saturday, January 13 at Oracle Park
