Temperatures were high inside Rice-Eccles Stadium for the final round of the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season. The hottest race of the year, combined with Utah winds, made for dry conditions on a busy and technical track with obstacles that were especially peaky and steep.
Ken Roczen (94) had third-place overall in the championship nearly secured when an ankle injury forced him to miss the final two rounds. Without earning points while away, Roczen was displaced two spots in the standings at the final round. Roczen and his Suzuki RM-Z450 still landed in fifth-place overall in the final championship points.
Colt Nichols (45) was fast from the first laps on the Salt Lake City track. As riders searched for traction on the baked dirt, Nichols delivered his season-best qualifying result. In the main, Nichols recovered from the first lap chaos to mount an impressive charge through the pack. Nichols had great speed but ran out of time in the main to match his season-best top ten finish from earlier in the season.
“It was a big season for me, I’ve never finished a full 450 season before, so that was a big goal I had coming into the year. To even be in Salt Lake, I’m stoked,” said Nichols. “I wish I could have finished a little better, but I got some more exposure for the team and myself and overall, I’m super stoked on the team. I’m really happy with everything here. It’s been a fun season, frustrating at times, but I’m stoked to be racing my dirt bike and doing it with these guys. This support team I’ve got around me is pretty damn cool. Yeah, we’ll saddle up and do it again next year!”
