Saturday’s Motocross Round 5 at RedBud: How to watch, start times, schedules, streams
The Pro Motocross series heads to RedBud in Buchanan, Michigan for Round 5 of the Pro Motocross, season, Round 22 of SuperMotocross as fans will be greeted with Golden Anniversary celebrations at the famed track.
Monster Energy Supercross champion Chase Sexton and Jason Anderson will return to action in a 450 field that was decimated by injury at the end of 2023 as the competition heats up to be the primary challenger for points' leader Jett Lawrence.
All that drama unfolds on a track that mirrors the history of Motocross as the RedBud Nationals is only one year younger than the series itself and that sense of history has not been lost on the riders. Earlier this week, Sexton spoke to his connection with RedBud as one reason to return this week .
STILL PERFECT: Jett Lawrence bobbles but wins at High Point
While Anderson and Sexton are healthy, the series lost Cooper Webb for at least one round as he recovers from a practice crash suffered earlier this week .
Jett is not the only perfect Lawrence brother. Hunter Lawrence looks to keep his perfect record of overall wins alive in the 250 class.
