Hunter Lawrence won the 2026 AMA Pro Motocross 450MX title at Ironman Raceway, finishing one point ahead of his brother Jett. Darren Lawrence, the riders' agent, recently addressed online speculation that Jett intentionally lost to help Hunter. Darren stated that Hunter's contract was finalized before the season began and that Jett receives no financial bonus for second place, making a 'throw' financially illogical. Honda confirmed Hunter's first 450MX title, extending the brand's premier class championship record to 16.
