Spring Creek Motocross 2025 preview: Top finishes, previous winners, historic results, who to watch
The 2025 Pro Motocross season crests the halfway point with six rounds in the books and five remaining as the best dirt bike racers in the world head to Spring Creek MX Park in Millville, Minnesota, for Round 24 of the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX). Jett Lawrence threatens to run away from the competition with a Pro Motocross points lead greater than one full round, but the combined SMX landscape continues with twists and turns. The two riders who ended the Monster Energy Supercross at the top of the order have each struggled. Chase Sexton, who finished the Monster Energy Supercross at the top of the order, hurt his shoulder in the Motocross season opener at Fox Raceway but sat out until last week due to unspecified health issues. He returned last week to score an overall top-five. Dan Beaver, Jett scored his 21st victory last week and is now tied with Ken Roczen for seventh in premier class wins. If Jett sweeps the motos again this week, like he did at RedBud, he will tie Jeff Emig for ninth on that chart. Remarkably, Jett's wins have come in just 44 motos; Emig took 116 races to achieve the same goal. Supercross champion and current SMX leader Cooper Webb announced he will have minor surgery on his knee after twisting it at RedBud last week and will not return until the SMX Playoffs begin at zMax Dragway in Concord, North Carolina. How Sweep it is The Martin family owns Spring Creek MX Park, and Jeremy Martin will conclude his career this week, riding a 250 one final time for Yamaha Star Racing. He will also serve as the Grand Marshal for the weekend. As with RedBud, Spring Creek has shown a lot of diversity in the past six years, with unique winners each time. Of course, that didn't affect Jett's odds in Michigan, and there is no reason to believe Minnesota will be any different. Sexton won in 2024, Jett in 2023, Eli Tomac in 2022, Justin Barcia in 2021, Adam Cianciarulo in 2020, and Webb in 2019. All of those were 1-1 sweeps, with the exception of Barcia's 2-1. Additionally, the previous five overall wins, dating back to 2014, were also weekend sweeps. As for the track, it has hosted races continuously since 1983, with the usual cast of characters leading the way. NBC analyst Ricky Carmichael leads the way with eight 450 wins. Eli Tomac's three class victories top the active list and rank third overall, behind Minnesota native Ryan Dungey, who has four. Hunter Lawrence finished second last week and now has nine runner-up overall finishes without a Nationals win. This is a strong venue for Jett's brother with an average finish of 3.5, two moto wins, and six podium appearances in 12 races. Tomac continues to threaten, but the real test of character will come this week as he struggles to overcome the mechanical issue at RedBud that dropped him from second to fourth in Motocross points. 250 Notes Jo Shimoda became the third 250 class rider to win an overall last week after sweeping the weekend. Haiden Deegan had an uncharacteristically poor performance, struggling after a poor start in RedBud's Moto 1 and crashing during the race. Deegan rebounded to finish second in Moto 2, but his 14th-place finish in the first race combined for only fifth overall. He entered RedBud with more than a full round lead over the competition, but lost that distinction when Shimoda climbed back to within 38 after the perfect weekend. The trend could continue as Spring Creek is one of two venues at which Deegan hasn't won. The other was, and remains, RedBud. Garrett Marchbanks scored his sixth overall top-10 of the season at RedBud, but those results have not come easily. He passed 42 riders in Michigan to finish 10th and 12th in the motos. He has passed the most riders in the first six rounds, according to at 118.

RedBud Motocross betting, predictions, lines: Chase Sexton return makes Eli Tomac's odds compelling
The return of Chase Sexton to the lineup for the RedBud Nationals had a ripple effect through the opening odds for Round 6 of the Pro Motocross season in Buchanan, Michigan. Last week at The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts, Jett Lawrence made two statement rides, easily outperforming the field in both motos. The most likely outcome of that domination would have been that Jett's odds at RedBud would have lengthened, but with Sexton's return and the increased competition, he became slightly more attractive, moving from -380 to minus -307. Wagering $300 for the chance to win $100 is still a risky proposition, but betting odds often provide a unique perspective on the relative strength of the field. Advertisement Sexton's return also impacted Eli Tomac's odds, making him an attractive bet both in reference to the outright win and to score a podium. Tomac has averaged an opening line of about 5/2 during the past four Nationals, but the traders at Alt Sports Data, the official linemaker for the SuperMotocross Championship, are showing very little faith in the veteran. His outright win odds moved substantially from +242 last week to +833 for RedBud. Tomac also sports positive odds for a podium at +127. While the increased line has as much to do with the traders' opinion that Jett is virtually unbeatable, Tomac fell from being the third-most attractive rider in their eyes to his being fourth. Alt Sports is not quite willing to place Sexton in the second slot this week. That honor goes to Hunter Lawrence (+451), who finished second in both Southwick motos. His steady performance during the past several weeks has awakened the traders to his potential as Hunter had nearly 400 points shaved from his line compared to Southwick's +841. The surprise of the week may well be Sexton landing third on the chart. His odds of +590 provide a lot of upside if Jett makes a mistake and Sexton is truly prepared for his return. After Jett's departure from the lineup last year before the RedBud Nationals, Sexton swept the season and won the Motocross championship. His prospectus against a healthy Jett is not as promising, however, and he finished behind him in every race they have contested with the sole exception of Jett's crash last year at Hangtown. Advertisement Aaron Plessinger (+1888) is fifth on the chart this week despite failing to score an overall top-five at Southwick. That sandy track did not suit his riding style and he struggled, but that will increase his desire to rebound during the weekend when his teammate, Sexton, returns to the lineup. Few expect Plessinger to win, but with a line of +213 to podium, a modest wager could be made. Another podium bet worth considering is for Jorge Prado (+13414 for outright win) who had a raw opening line of +1786 to stand somewhere on the box. Prado earned his first overall top-five last week at The Wick but he contended for podiums in both races. Justin Cooper (+2733) narrowly kept his top-five streak alive last week. He is the only other rider under 100/1 for the outright win. Bettors who favor a deep strategy might wish to place a modest wager on him. Opening Odds, Outright Overall Win Jett Lawrence, -307 Hunter Lawrence, +451 Chase Sexton, +590 Eli Tomac, +833 Aaron Plessinger, +1888 Justin Cooper, +2733 Cooper Webb, +12246 Jason Anderson, +12246 RJ Hampshire, +12246 Justin Barcia, +13414 Malcolm Stewart, +13414 Jorge Prado, +13414 Joey Savatgy, +13414 Lorenzo Locurcio, +14393 Harri Kullas, +14393 Valentin Guillod, +14393 Benoit Paturel, +14393 Mitchell Harrison, +15285 Derek Drake, +15525 Grant Harlan, +15525 Romain Pape, +15525 Colt Nichols, +15525 Derek Kelley, +15525 Coty Schock, +15525 Advertisement Opening Odds, Overall Podium Jett Lawrence, -2400 Hunter Lawrence, -163 Chase Sexton, -108 Eli Tomac, +127 Aaron Plessinger, +213 Justin Cooper, +300 RJ Hampshire, +487 Cooper Webb, +569 Jason Anderson, +698 Justin Barcia, +1190 Jorge Prado, +1786 Joey Savatgy, +3446 Malcolm Stewart, +4240 Benoit Paturel, +4240 Harri Kullas, +4240 Coty Schock, +4240 Valentin Guillod, +4240 Grant Harlan, +4240 Colt Nichols, +4240 Lorenzo Locurcio, +4240 Mitchell Harrison, +4240 Romain Pape, +4240 Derek Kelley, +4240 Derek Drake, +4240 More SuperMotocross News Chase Sexton set to return at RedBud Southwick 450 results | 250 results Motocross community mourns the death of Aidan Zingg Jett Lawrence sweeps Southwick for fifth win of 2025 Haiden Deegan earns truly perfect round at Southwick Jett Lawrence runs away from field in Southwick Moto 1 Haiden Deegan wins Southwick Moto 1 by 25 seconds Justin Barcia to return from knee injury in Southwick Drew Adams sidelined with broken finger Jo Shimoda highlights Japanese MXoN team
