Monster Energy® Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider Levi Kitchen secured his second Pro Motocross victory of the season, finishing first overall with a (2-1) performance. New teammate Garrett Marchbanks showed steady form on the rutted track, earning a fourth-place overall finish with (5-5) results. Ty Masterpool pushed through early setbacks to finish eighth overall (9-9).

“It was an incredible day for me. Two holeshots and 2-1 for the overall. The first moto was tough with the track being so rutted and I was able to hang onto second place. I came into the second moto not wanting to get beat, so I put my head down and made sure to hit my marks each lap. I want to give a huge thank you to my entire Monster Energy® Pro Circuit Kawasaki team for keeping my bike feeling amazing all day. I’m excited to carry this momentum into Budds Creek.”

Unadilla Motocross Park, located in New Berlin, New York, is a legendary venue on the Pro Motocross circuit known for its iconic natural terrain and rich motocross history. The track features a mix of rolling hills and off-camber turns, with deep loamy soil that can quickly transform into treacherous ruts. Its famous Gravity Cavity and dynamic elevation changes challenge riders, while the unpredictable Northeastern weather adds an extra layer of difficulty, making Unadilla a true test of skill and endurance.

Severe weather on Friday raised concerns among race teams during Press Day, but the Unadilla MX track crew worked late into the night to ensure optimal conditions. By Saturday morning, Masterpool, Kitchen, and Marchbanks were ready to hit the track, securing second, 10th, and 13th place spots in the qualifiers.

In Moto 1 of the 250MX Class, the three KX™250 riders launched off the gate with Kitchen grabbing the holeshot and Masterpool close behind in second. Marchbanks found himself in the top 10 and began settling into his rhythm. Kitchen quickly engaged in a battle for the lead with fastest qualifier Chance Hymas.

Hymas passed Kitchen early on, but Kitchen stayed within three seconds of the leader until Hymas made a critical error, allowing Kitchen to reclaim the lead. The current points leader then pressured Kitchen for the lead pushing him back to finish in second place.

Masterpool faced adversity after an early mistake dropped him to 29th, but he kept his composure and fought his way back to finish ninth. Marchbanks remained steady on the track, securing a fifth-place finish.

In Moto 2, Kitchen and Masterpool once again demonstrated the power of their Kawasaki machines, with Kitchen seizing the holeshot and Masterpool close behind in second. However, a mistake in the third turn forced Masterpool to remount just inside the Top 25.

Marchbanks started his race deeper in the pack but quickly worked his way through the field to break into the Top 15. Meanwhile, Kitchen was flawless in his lines and began pulling away from the competition early on. As the race progressed, Kitchen remained relentless, despite pressure from his competitors, this time Kitchen pulled away to secure his third moto win of the season and the overall victory.

Despite his early setback, Masterpool maintained his consistency, fighting his way back into the top 10 to finish ninth. Marchbanks made an impressive debut on his Monster Energy® Pro Circuit Kawasaki, finishing fifth once again.
