<\/p>\r\nHusqvarna said it plans to continue its presence in SuperMotocross by supporting independent teams and riders with factory-level parts, materials, and technical assistance. The new strategy mirrors recent restructuring efforts within the KTM Group, which also ended its factory GasGas racing program after the 2025 season.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The decision brings uncertainty for the current five-rider lineup, which includes 450 class racers Malcolm Stewart<\/span> and RJ Hampshire<\/span>, along with 250 riders Daxton Bennick<\/span>, Casey Cochran<\/span>, and Ryder DiFrancesco<\/span>. Reports indicate some younger riders could transition to other KTM Group-backed teams for 2027.<\/p>\r\n Rockstar Energy Husqvarna has been a fixture in American motocross and supercross for years, earning race wins and championship contention across both classes. The team most recently celebrated major success with Stewart\u2019s popular 450SX victory in Tampa during the 2025 season and remained competitive throughout 2026.<\/p>\r\n For fans, the announcement signals the end of an era as the white bikes with Rockstar branding prepare for one final season before the factory team is retired. What Husqvarna\u2019s next chapter looks like on the race track will begin to unfold in 2027.<\/p>","excerpt":" The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team will officially cease operations at the conclusion of the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship …<\/p>","date":"May 11, 2026 15:42","categories":[{"id":25047609,"title":"Moto","slug":"moto"},{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"}],"tags":[]},{"id":15514,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2026\/05\/11\/ken-roczen-wins-first-supercross-crown-in-salt-lake-city-finale\/","title":"Ken Roczen Wins First Supercross Crown in Salt Lake City Finale","content":"Ken Roczen delivered one of the most memorable moments of his decorated career Saturday night, clinching his first-ever Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship title in dramatic fashion at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Cole Davies continues to lead the 250 SX Eastern points. Photo: Feld Motorsports[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIn the Eastern Divisional 250SMX Class, Cole Davies continued his breakout season with a commanding performance, capturing his fourth win of the year in dominant fashion. After working his way forward from outside the early lead group, Davies surged to the front less than five minutes into the race and quickly established control. The Yamaha rider steadily built a gap and never faced a serious challenge, ultimately winning by a staggering 17.2 seconds. Chaos unfolded behind him as title rival Seth Hammaker crashed while advancing through the field and later tangled with Daxton Bennick in a late-race battle for second. The incident allowed Nate Thrasher to slip into the runner-up spot for his first podium of the season. Hammaker initially crossed the line in third but was penalized two positions for cutting the track earlier in the race, promoting Devin Simonson to a career-first podium in third.","excerpt":"
