AMA Supercross 2025
Race Round 17   Salt Lake

Wilson Seventh at Salt Lake City Supercross Finale

  • Shimoda, Hymas battle through adversity in 250SX East/West Showdown
  • Five Honda riders finish inside the 450SX top 15

The 2025 AMA Supercross season concluded in Salt Lake City, with the final East/West Showdown in the 250SX class, and one final gate drop for Honda HRC Progressive’s Dean Wilson aboard the factory CRF450RWE. Riders faced a dry, technical track in front of a packed stadium as they closed out the final round of the series.

In the 250SX main event, Honda HRC Progressive teammates Jo Shimoda and Chance Hymas both experienced tough starts that left them mid-pack early on. Shimoda rode smoothly and consistently throughout the race to finish eighth. Meanwhile, Hymas climbed to 12th before a mistake sent him back to 15th. He regrouped and climbed back to 11th, which is where he finished the race. Pheonix Racing Honda’s Cullin Park and Gavin Towers finished 15th and 19th, respectively.

In the 450SX main event, Quad Lock Honda Racing’s Joey Savatgy led the Red Rider effort with a fifth-place finish. Honda HRC Progressive’s Dean Wilson capped off his fill-in run with a strong seventh-place result—matching the goal he set for himself at the start of his five-race stint. Quad Lock Honda Racing’s Shane McElrath crossed the line in ninth, followed by Phoenix Racing Honda’s Dylan Ferrandis in 10th. Valley Motorsports’ Jeremy Hand rounded out the Honda-mounted group in 15th.

Dean Wilson 15

“It was a good day overall. I actually threw my back out earlier in the week, so I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel. I did therapy every day with ‘Doc G’ [physiotherapist H. Rey Gubernick], and I have to give a massive thank-you to him—I don’t know if I could’ve raced without his help. Once we got here, I felt okay on the bike, even though I was still in a lot of pain. I had a really good heat race and ended up third, which was cool. In the main event, I finished seventh and was in a battle the entire time with a few guys just ahead of me. The elevation and a bit of wind made it tough at the end, but overall I’m really happy with how it went. These five races with Honda have been unbelievable and something I’ll always remember! I’m a little sad it’s over, but I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity. Thank you to everyone at Honda who made it happen—Yarrive [Konsky] and Martin [Davalos] from Quad Lock Honda, Lars [Lindstrom] and Brandon [Wilson] from American Honda, and all the bosses. It’s been a lot of fun.”

Jo Shimoda 30

“We had a lot going on today. Someone ran into me in the heat race, so honestly, my main priority was just to get through the night safely—and we accomplished that. I felt like my riding was a little better than last week, and the bike was also improved. Of course, I wanted to finish a bit higher, but now it’s time to reset and focus on outdoors in two weeks.”

Chance Hymas 10

“Honestly, my night was pretty disappointing; I wasn’t happy with my riding or my decision-making in the main event. Up until then, things were going well—the heat race was good, and qualifying was a step in the right direction for me. I just need to be better when it comes to race decisions in Supercross mains. My speed and riding are there, but I need to think things through better. Now my focus shifts to outdoors, and I’m looking forward to getting started.”

Lars Lindstrom

Team Manager

“I’m not going to lie, this Supercross season has been rough, and we’re all looking forward to the outdoor season that starts in two weeks. Obviously, not having Hunter and Jett has been difficult, but I’m proud of the team for keeping a good, positive attitude, while also accomplishing many other things as well. We have to figure out how to be more competitive in the 250 class, and that’s a big goal of mine for next season. It was really fun having Dean on the team for the last five races, and I want to thank him for everything!”
