2023 SOUTHWICK NATIONAL MX RESULTS

The 2023 Southwick National MX took place at The Wick 338 in Massachusetts and marked the halfway point of the AMA Pro Motocross season. The Lawrence brothers, Jett and Hunter, have been dominant in the 450 and 250 classes respectively. However, there was a break in their streak in the last race when Hunter crashed in the first turn of moto two, resulting in a win for Haiden Deegan and shaking up the championship standings.

In the 250 qualifying, there was an unexpected turn of events as James DeCotis set the fastest time in his first attempt of the entire season, outpacing the A session riders Justin Cooper and Hunter Lawrence.
