Background
After racing in his native Australia as a youngster, Jett Lawrence earned the 2014 65cc World Championship in Belgium at age 11. In 2016 he campaigned the German ADAC series and the 85 European Motocross Championship, and two years later, he made the jump to the 250 European Motocross Championship at age 14. The Lawrence family then relocated to the USA, where Jett raced for Factory Connection–initially with their amateur squad, then the pro team, taking 2020 Rookie of the Year honors. The next year saw him move to the factory CRF250R with Team Honda HRC, with whom he earned the ’21 and ’22 AMA Pro Motocross 250 Championship, as well as the ’22 AMA 250SX East Region and ’23 West Region crowns. He then advanced to the big class and took the ’23 AMA Pro Motocross 450 crown with an undefeated performance, then put an exclamation point on the year by collecting the inaugural SuperMotocross 450 title. He followed up in 2024 by adding the AMA Supercreoss 450 crown and repeating as SuperMotocross 450 World Champion.
