**Shimoda Clinches Victory in Thrilling Las Vegas SMX Finale!**

LAS VEGAS, NV – Jo Shimoda emerged victorious in a nail-biting 250 class finale at the Las Vegas SuperMotocross (SMX) race, presented by FXR Racing! The race was fraught with drama, most notably involving championship contender Haiden Deegan.

Shimoda grabbed the holeshot and early lead, but Deegan, starting from a less-than-ideal gate position, found himself battling through the pack. A mid-air collision between Deegan and Ryder Difrancesco sent both riders to the ground. Difrancesco was unable to continue, while Deegan remounted and began an aggressive charge to catch up.

Despite the setback, Deegan showed incredible resilience, moving into second and closing the gap on Shimoda. However, Shimoda held on to secure the win.

The 450 class also saw intense competition, with qualifying and race results detailed in Motocross Action Magazine. Full results and updated standings are available on their website.

Beyond the race, Motocross Action is also diving into the future of motocross, showcasing first looks at the 2026 Kawasaki KX250 and Honda CRF450, as well as a glimpse at the 2027 Honda CRF450 spotted at the MXGP.
