Pickerington, OH (March 5, 2026) — The American Motorcyclist Association and FIM North America extend their congratulations to the class champions of the 2025-2026 AMA/FIMNA Arenacross season, which wrapped up Friday, Feb. 20, in Guthrie, Okla.
MotoConcepts Honda Team’s Ryan Breece emerged as the AMA and FIMNA AX Pro Class Champion, finishing the season with 275 points while holding off a fierce pursuit from Cole Thompson of Heartbeat Hotsauce Nanoxtreme Yamaha, who finished the season with 272 points.
“It means more so to the team than myself; it really kind of nails the hammer on what we were trying to do the past couple years,” Breece said. “It felt like a relief that we got the job done.”
The AMA AX Lites Championship was clinched by Dane Morales (Husqvarna), who wrapped up the title during Round 8 in Reno, Nev., on Feb. 14. Morales ran away with the title, finishing the season with 105 points while Rocco Morse (Honda) ended with 65 points.
The AMA also congratulates the AMA Amateur National Arenacross champions, with a wide range of racers earning AMA National No. 1 plates for their efforts this season.
“This was another outstanding season of Arenacross, headlined by outstanding racing and tight competition,” AMA Deputy Director of Racing Mike Burkeen said. “Congratulations to Ryan, Dane and all of the amateur champions for their efforts this season.”
