Can we get a RED BUUUDDD?! After a weekend off, round five of the 2026 AMA Pro Motocross is back on track here at Redbud in Buchanan, Michigan. Even better that this year’s race falls on July 4th as this track is known as America’s race track. Overnight rains have made this course ultra difficult but clear skies today would provide some exciting racing. Let’s get into the action!
REDBUD NOTES

450MX QUALIFYING
Jett Lawrence heads to the line first today with the fastest qualifying lap. The Honda HRC Progressive rider set the time to beat in the first session when the track was at its worst but it still held up against the rest of the field. Jett fell in the second session but thankfully didn’t need to improve his time. Haiden Deegan was fastest in the second session and second overall. His fast lap in Q1 was taken away due to jumping on a Red Cross flag. Deegan and Lawrence were the only riders on a 2:16 lap. Hunter Lawrence grabbed third overall, one full second behind Jett. Jorge Prado and RJ Hampshire rounded out the top five.
