Race Day Report: Monster Energy AMA Supercross – Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville, TN—The 13th round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series kicks off today at Nissan Stadium, with heightened anticipation surrounding the 450 class championship battle and crucial shifts in the 250 East standings.
450 Class Dynamics
Current standings show Hunter Lawrence and Eli Tomac tied for the championship lead, with only five points separating them from Ken Roczen, who has demonstrated strong form after securing victories in the last two rounds. Tomac acknowledged experiencing a “midseason slump,” while Lawrence is managing a wrist injury sustained in Detroit. Roczen is in peak performance, igniting a competitive atmosphere heading into today’s events.
250 East Championship Outlook
Cole Davies maintains an 11-point lead over Seth Hammaker, bolstered by consistent performance. However, Jo Shimoda’s recent ankle injury during the St. Louis heat has sidelined him for the remainder of the season, creating a gap in the podium regulars. This opens opportunities for other competitors looking to capitalize on his absence.
Notable Participants
Tennessee native Drew Adams, recovering from a thumb injury sustained at Daytona, is set to make his return. Additionally, Dean Wilson will make his 2026 race debut, adding to the roster’s dynamic.
