2026 St. Louis Supercross Results

Ryan Nitzen | April 4, 2026

St Louis, Missouri hosts round 12 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross and SuperMotocross World Championship. Eli Tomac leads the 450SX points narrowly over Hunter Lawrence, but Ken Roczen is the rider who arguably has the most momentum at the moment. Tonight also marks the second 250 East/West Showdown of the 2026 season along with the annual  St. Jude Love Moto Stop Cancer race.

Ken Roczen and Haiden Deegan sealed the deal with wins in their respective main events.

450SX Main Event

Hunter Lawrence looked to maximize his points gain with a crucial holeshot to start the 450SX main event. His lead was short lived as Jorge Prado took over the top spot followed closely by Ken Roczen. Roczen made a bold move early in the race and out Lawrence high in the corner just after the mechanics area. This proved to be the moment of the race as Roczen never relinquished.

Ken Roczen went back-to-back with another win in St Louis.

The Suzuki rider led the remaining 22 laps while running up front. He easily gapped the rest of the field by more 10 seconds en route to his third victory of the year. With his 26th career win, Roczen cut further into the championship points as he’s now just five out of the lead.

“I cannot believe I pulled off back to back wins,” Roczen said. “It was a brutal main.”

Roczen is now five points out of the championship lead.

Justin Cooper matched his career-best second place result at the line. The Star Racing Yamaha rider started back in fifth but had a series of fast laps as he moved his way through the pack. He fought his way past Prado and Hunter Lawrence to take his third, second place result.

Hunter Lawrence salvaged a podium finish in third. The Honda HRC rider led early on but a series of mistakes dropped him in the running order. He recovered at the halfway mark and found himself back in the mix for a podium. Another few bobbles in the final few laps saw him narrowly beat Prado to the checkers. He’s now tied for the championship lead with Eli Tomac. “My wrist is still pretty sore from last week,” Lawrence said on the podium.

Prado took fourth for his second-best result of the year. Cooper Webb rounded out the top five after passing Eli Tomac late in the race.

250 East/West Showdown

Haiden Deegan dominated the 250SX East West Showdown en route to his second 250SX championship. Deegan got pinched on the start but came out just outside the top five. He quickly went to work but showed patience as he picked his way through the field. After clearing both Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s of Nick Romano and Seth Hammaker in the same section, Deegan set his sights on the leader Cole Davies.

Haiden Deegan dominated the 250 East/West Showdown.

Both of the Star Racing Yamaha’s ran at the front of the field until Deegan made an easy move around Davies. He quickly dropped the East Coast points leader and opened up a gap of four seconds in just one lap. This was all she wrote for any challenger as Deegan took the checkers by more than 15 seconds and sealed the deal on another 250SX West title.

Davies held on for second and was the top finishing Eastern Divisional rider. He led the first five minutes of the race before being passed by his teammate Deegan. Davies mentioned how gnarly the track was and that there was no need to risk a crash while still earning maximum points in the Eastern championship.

Seth Hammaker finished third in the 250 main event. He never really challenged during the race and again took a safe podium finish. Unfortunately, he lost more valuable points to Davies in the title run.

Nate Thrasher had his best result of the year in fourth with Ryder DiFrancesco crossing the line in fifth.

450 QUALIFYING

Ken Roczen is riding a wave of momentum at the moment. After last week’s win in Detroit, the 94 is back on top with the best time in the 450 qualifying sessions. Roczen was the only 450 rider in the 54-second range and surprisingly this is the first time in over a year that Roczen’s qualified on pole. “It’s extremely tricky out there,” Roczen said. “I felt more comfortable in the second one [session] for sure.”

Chase Sexton’s time was good enough for second overall. Sexton looked fast as usual and is fresh off a podium last week in his return to racing. Malcolm Stewart grabbed the third best time after his season-best finish one week ago in Detroit. Justin Cooper clocked fourth with Jorge Prado rounding out the top five. Notably, Prado was fastest in the first 450 session. Points leader Eli Tomac had the seventh fastest lap with Hunter Lawrence back in ninth.

250 QUALIFYING

The 250 sessions were split between their divisional series but two front runners found themselves atop the time charts as Haiden Deegan and Seth Hammaker qualified fastest in their respective sessions. Deegan was best in both West sessions and his 53.799 held up as the quickest time of any 250 rider as he hit a near-perfect lap on a fresh track in Q2. Hammaker set the time to beat in the East with a 54.6, nearly a full second off Deegan’s time. Joe Shimoda was third overall between both coasts with Cole Davies and Daxton Bennick rounding out the top five.
