Jett Lawrence entered the weekend with the advantage, but a fifth-place finish in the opening moto put him on the defensive. Jett responded with a runner-up finish in Moto 2, but Hunter's sweep was enough to move him back into the lead. With the Budds Creek results, Hunter now holds a one-point advantage over Jett heading into next weekend's season finale at Ironman Raceway, setting up a winner-take-all championship showdown between the Honda teammates and brothers. Jorge Prado continued his strong late-season run with a second-place overall finish. The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider went 3-3 for his second consecutive overall podium and his fourth podium of the summer. Prado remains in search of his first Pro Motocross overall victory but has emerged as one of the championship's strongest riders during the final rounds. Haiden Deegan finished third overall with a 2-4 moto score, edging out Jett Lawrence for the final podium position. Jett's 5-2 results left him fourth overall, marking only the third time in his 450 career that he has finished outside the overall podium.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_16142\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]\"\" Chance Hymas captured his first overall victory of the 2026 Pro Motocross season.
