Jett and Hunter - Domination
Honda HRC Progressive continued their impressive form in AMA Pro Motocross, this time at The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts—a unique track on the circuit that is famous for its brutal, sandy conditions. Jett and Hunter Lawrence once again swept the top two spots in the 450 class, with Jett delivering another perfect 1-1 performance and Hunter not far behind with consistent 2-2 moto finishes.
Jett Lawrence: “I’m focusing on each race as it comes—no point in thinking about championships this early. It was a good day, definitely not an easy one with how rough the track got, but I felt solid. Hunter going 2-2 for second made it even better for the team. Big thanks to everyone who stuck it out in the crowd today—it’s not easy out there—and to my team, Red Bull, 100% and all our partners for the support. And hey, tying James Stewart on the all-time win list? That’s pretty cool. I told him I’m coming for him on the golf course, too!”
Hunter Lawrence: “I’m just putting in work—always trying to get stronger and improve. The team has helped a lot with the bike setup; we’re in the best spot we’ve been, and I’m continuing to get the best out of myself, too. Honestly, I’m getting sick of seeing No. 18 up on top of the podium, so it’s time to fight back! I’ll give it another crack next Saturday at RedBud.”

The first 450 moto saw the CRF450RWE race machines of Jett and Hunter cross the holeshot line first and second, respectively, and Jett immediately put in a sprint to establish a gap at the front.
At the halfway mark, he had a cushion of 10 seconds, with Hunter an additional seven seconds up on the next rider. Jett mostly maintained his edge from that point, while Hunter continued to stretch his margin over third. At the checkers, the gap between the brothers was 13.786 seconds, with an additional 18.922 seconds separating third place.
Jett snared yet another holeshot in moto 2, with Hunter a couple spots back this time. While Jett opened an advantage on Jorge Prado, Hunter pressured Eli Tomac, muscling by in a corner to take third on lap 6. Hunter assumed second when Prado went down at around the midway point, and the Honda rider then fended off a couple of challenges from Tomac before going on to finish a commendable second, 20 seconds behind his brother and 12 seconds ahead of Tomac.
In the 450 combined qualifying times, Jett and Hunter were second and fifth, respectively. Also impressive was Norwegian JWR Honda Racing rider Cornelius Tondel in third, while other Red Riders included Quad Lock Honda’s Joey Savatgy in 13th, Sorensen Racing’s Deven Sorensen in 32nd, Phoenix Racing Honda’s Michael Witkowski in 34th, McGinley Clinic’s John Short in 38th, Rodbell Racing’s Justin Rodbell in 45th and Raylentless Racing’s Brandon Ray in 48th.

Jett Lawrence’s Southwick performance marks his 20th career premier-class overall win (in just 21 tries). That moves him into a tie with James Stewart and Jeff Stanton for eighth place on the all-time list.
Jett’s 2025 Southwick success marked his third premier-class overall win at the venue, and it raised Honda’s Southwick dominance to 17—nine more than the next-best manufacturer. Other Red Riders to win the premier class at Southwick include Pierre Karsmakers, Marty Smith, Donnie Hansen, Rick Johnson (twice), Jeff Stanton (four times), Jeremy McGrath, Ezra Lusk, and Ricky Carmichael (three times).
Jett is now tied with Eli Tomac, Kent Howerton and Ryan Dungey for third on the all-time Southwick premier-class overall-win list. Only Carmichael and Stanton have more, with eight and four, respectively.
Jett now holds a commanding 38-point lead in the 450 division, while still Hunter sits third, though with a reduced gap of only five points to Tomac.
