2025 SuperMotocross tickets on sale, track maps revealed
The three-round SuperMotocross Championship kicks off September 6 at zMax Dragway in Concord, North Carolina, followed by Round 2 at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 13, and concluding at The Strip at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway on September 20.
This will be the third time the playoffs have kicked off at zMax in the three-year history of the playoffs. This is the second time the series has concluded in Las Vegas, while St. Louis represents a new venue.
Jett Lawrence (450s) and Haiden Deegan(250s) are each two-time defending champions of the SMX Championship.
Additionally, the SuperMotocross League revealed track maps for the three venues.
zMax Dragway
2025 SuperMotocross Round 1, zMax Dragway
Feld Entertainment
Located near Charlotte Motor Speedway, zMax Dragway's layout takes advantage of the four-wide dragstrip and land adjacent to the track to create a massive layout. The track features a split lane that always creates excitement as the two lanes come together.
Lawrence won Round 1 in 2024 via a tiebreaker with Eli Tomac. Each rider won one of the two motos; Lawrence was successful in Race 2. Sweeping the two motos, Deegan won the 250 race over his principal 2025 rival, Julien Beaumer.
North Carolina is the East Coast destination for the SMX playoffs.
The Dome at America's Center
The Dome at America's Center will host its first SMX playoff race but has a long history of Monster Energy Supercross competition after hosting races since 1996.
The unique feature of this track is that it not only utilizes the full footprint of the stadium but will leave the floor and continue into the adjacent Exhibition Hall. This large footprint allows track builders to create a motocross-inspired course.
St. Louis represents the Midwest in the playoffs in 2025. Last year, this round was contested at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, with Hunter Lawrence (1-3) victorious in the 450 division and Deegan sweeping the 250 class once again.
The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Las Vegas was the host city of last year's SMX Playoff finale as dirt bike racing returned to a venue with deep roots in the sport.
Like zMax Dragway, the track boasts four dragstrip lanes, so track designers have plenty of room to create a unique course. That is where the similarity between the two tracks ends, however, with the course leaving the strip at the top, meandering behind a second set of grandstands, and continuing into the bottom of the layout.
Lawrence secured his second SMX title in style by sweeping the two 450 motos. In the 250 division, Pierce Brown earned his first series win with finishes of second and first in the two motos. Deegan won Moto 2 and finished second in the finale, which was more than sufficient to wrap up his title.
SMX Playoff Travel Packages
A variety of travel packages will be available to fans for the SMX World Championship Final. For accessibility, visit SMX World Championship Final Travel Packages for more details. Fans can purchase hotel and camping accommodations that include many ticketing and VIP experience options.

Thunder Ownership Could Follow Celtics' Lead By Selling Team After Winning NBA Title
Thunder Ownership Could Follow Celtics' Lead By Selling Team After Winning NBA Title originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The Oklahoma City Thunder won their first NBA championship in 2025, but the team could soon be under new ownership. Tulsa World's Berry Tramel revealed why the Clay Bennett-led group would be interested in selling the Thunder. Advertisement "A source close to Thunder Chairman Clay Bennett told the Tulsa World that the rising value of NBA franchises makes it quite likely that the Thunder's partners will want to sell soon. "And now that a championship parade has come to downtown OKC, there is one fewer reason for the ownership group to retain the franchise. Apart from bringing an NBA franchise to their home state, the owners have achieved the ultimate goal, winning the O'Brien Trophy. ''Soon' is a variable. The owners could wait until the Thunder's new $1 billion arena opens in 2028, which will be another landmark event for the franchise, city, and state." Bennett's Professional Basketball Club LLC had purchased the Seattle SuperSonics for $350 million in 2006. He had promised to keep the team in Seattle, but failure to secure public funding for a new arena meant he moved the team to Oklahoma before the 2008-09 season. Advertisement The expectation is that the new ownership group would keep the team in Oklahoma City. There would be a heavy penalty for moving, as per the lease with the new arena. Relocation within five years of playing there would incur a $1 billion fine, which would drop to $850 million if the exit comes in years six through 10. As for how much the Thunder would go for, Forbes valued them at $3.65 billion in 2024. The price might have gone up, though, based on some recent sales. The Boston Celtics, the 2024 NBA champions, were sold for $6.1 billion earlier this year to a group headed by Bill Chisholm, the managing partner of Symphony Technology Group. The Thunder's ownership would be following in the Celtics' lead if they sell the team right after winning it all. More recently, the Buss family agreed to sell the majority stake of the Los Angeles Lakers at a $10 billion valuation to Mark Walter, the CEO and chairman of diversified holding company TWG Global. Advertisement Now, the Thunder are not the Celtics or the Lakers, so it's unlikely they'll be sold for more than $5 billion. Still, Bennett and his group would get a great return on their investment. The James Harden debacle aside, Bennett has proven to be a good owner for the Thunder. The team has a 793-565 record under his leadership and has made the playoffs 12 times in 17 seasons. The Thunder finally won that elusive championship this year, and the future is extremely bright at this point.

'He is only 20 and we are sure he will develop into a top-class striker because his pace and strength already mark him out as a great prospect.

'We think he is the future but he will also definitely play a role this season in the Championship.' Advertisement Semedo becomes the Hornets' fifth signing this summer after Hector Kyrprianou, Nathan Baxter and Marc Bola moved to Vicarage Road and James Abankwah returned on a season-long loan, but he will not be the last. Confirmation of Caleb Wiley's return on loan from Chelsea is expected shortly, winger Pape Diallo is close to completing a move from Metz and Watford are also in the market for more attacking options. The striker is getting used to his new surroundings at London Colney (Image: Alan Cozzi/Watford FC) Born in Angola, Semedo moved to Udinese on a three-year deal in 2022, having joined Sporting Lisbon's Academy in 2018. Advertisement The 6ft 4in forward made his debut for the fellow Pozzo-owned club against Hellas Verona in January 2023, moving to Dutch club Volendam on loan 12 months later where he made 13 appearances in the Eredivisie, scoring once. He joined Liga Portugal 2 club Vizela on loan in September last year, firmly establishing himself in the starting XI at the start of this year, scoring nine goals in a run of 18 games to help his side reach the play-offs where the lost 5-2 on aggregate to Avs FS.

Ilia Topuria's Plan for the Undefeated Star Is Anything But Respectful
Ilia Topuria's Plan for the Undefeated Star Is Anything But Respectful originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Fresh off a thunderous knockout win at UFC 317, Ilia Topuria has been making the media rounds with the confidence only a newly crowned champion could carry. Then again, confidence is nothing new for Topuria—it's been his trademark since day one. While fans are still processing his dismantling of a former lightweight king, the featherweight-turned-double champ already seems locked in on what—or rather, who—comes next. Advertisement It's no secret that Ilia Topuria and Paddy Pimblett don't see eye to eye. The two fighters have exchanged insults for years, fueling speculation that a showdown could be inevitable. Ilia TopuriaGetty Images Their rivalry was reignited after a recent interview with TMZ Sports—shared by Championship Rounds—where Topuria didn't just talk about winning, he painted a humiliating picture of how he'd do it. 'I could choose the way I finish him,' Topuria said. 'Maybe it's gonna be cool to submit him with a triangle choke… put my balls on his forehead.' The comment went viral, drawing a mix of laughter, outrage, and even support from fans who have long followed the feud. While some called it disrespectful, others saw it as classic fight promotion—and a window into just how personal this matchup has become over the years. Advertisement Ilia Topuria & Paddy PimblettJeff Bottari-GettyImages It's the kind of bad blood that practically sells itself without any official poster or promo. As the verbal jabs escalate, UFC President Dana White and his team are weighing the options for Topuria's first title defense at 155. Many see a bout with Pimblett as a potential blockbuster, one that would deliver fireworks both inside the Octagon and at the box office.
