Motocross of Nations to return to US in 2028, 2031
Infront Moto Racing, the organizers of the Motocross of Nations (MXoN), announced that the 2028 and 2031 editions of the race will be held in the United States. Venues have not yet been announced. The 2025 MXoN will be held on October 3-5 at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, marking the United States' turn in what has become a three-year rotation. The previous US-based MXoN was held at RedBud MX Park in Buchanan, Michigan, in 2022. 'Today, we are more than happy to announce the extension of our strong relationship with MX Sports and the organization of a third Monster Energy Motocross of Nations in the USA, which will take place in 2031,' said David Luongo, CEO of Infront Moto Racing. 'This agreement ensures that the most prestigious off-road event of the year will return to the United States every three years through to 2031. 'I would like to personally thank Carrie and Davey Coombs, Tim Cotter, and the entire MX Sports team for their ongoing support and great collaboration over the years. We cannot wait to be at Ironman Raceway this October to celebrate motocross together with the fans.' This year's MXoN marks the sixth time the international event has been held in the US. In addition to RedBud (2018, 2022), the MXoN has been contested at Unadilla in New York (1987), Budds Creek in Maryland (2007), and Thunder Valley in Colorado (2010). Hosting the MXoN has been beneficial to Team USA, which won in 1987, 2007, 2010, and in the most recent race at RedBud. The 2022 winning team consisted of Eli Tomac, Justin Cooper, and Chase Sexton. 'All of us at MX Sports are honored to be chosen as the long-term partner for this prestigious event,' said Davey Coombs, Vice President of MX Sports, Inc. 'We are excited for our domestic fans who will have the opportunity to attend the Motocross of Nations right here at home, and we also look forward to again welcoming international fans to one of America's premier motocross facilities. We have all been passionate supporters of this event, and we are extremely proud to bring it to the United States through 2031, helping to unite the entire motocross world for many years to come. 'We are very proud to partner with Infront in hosting the Motocross of Nations here in the U.S., and we're fortunate to have numerous options for premier racetracks that would serve as exceptional destinations for this historic event, and we look forward to finding the perfect venue for 2031.'

Jo Shimoda will lead the Japanese team in the 2025 Motocross of Nations (MXoN), which will be held in the United States at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, October 3 - 5. This is the first MXoN team to be announced for 2025. Shimoda will compete in the premier MXGP class. Shimoda's previous MXoN start was in the MX2 division in 2022 when Japan finished 24th. Joining Shimoda this year will be his teammate from 2022, Yuki Okura, who will compete in the Open division. Soya Nakajima in MX2 rounds out the roster. Shimoda got off to a strong start in Pro Motocross this season, finishing second overall in the first two rounds on the strength of second-place finishes in all four motos. He has not stood on the podium since with a best moto finish of fourth at Thunder Valley MX Park in Lakewood, Colorado. His last two Nationals results were sixth overall.

2027 Motocross of Nations to be hosted in the Netherlands
The TT Circuit Assen in the Drenthe region of the Netherlands will host the 80th edition of the Motocross of Nations (MXoN), marking the 10th time the event has been held on Dutch soil, according to an announcement made by Infront Moto, the promoter of the international race. The first race of the iconic series was raced at Wassenaar in 1947, with Great Britain victorious. "We are proud to bring the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations back to Assen in 2027," said David Luongo, CEO of Infront Moto. "The previous edition at this legendary venue left a lasting impression on fans and teams alike, and the Netherlands has always played a key role in the history of our sport. Advertisement "Hosting the 80th edition of this iconic event at such an iconic circuit is the perfect combination." Assen most recently hosted the MXoN when the home team of Jeffrey Herlings, Calvin Vlaanderen, and Glenn Coldenhoff won the event on a muddy track in 2019. The United States team finished sixth that year. The circuit will be built on top of the tarmac of the circuit's final corners and pit lane complex, with the local area's sand being an integral part of the design. "It's truly exciting to see the continued evolution and professionalization of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations," said Antonio Alia, FIM / CMS Director. "Returning to the Netherlands in 2027 brings back memories of an unforgettable edition in Assen, where, despite difficult weather, the organization, facilities, and teamwork demonstrated what's possible when everyone works together at the highest level. With the support of the KNMV [the local organizer] and the experienced team behind the 2019 success, we're confident that 2027 will not only meet expectations but help set new standards for the future of this great event."
