Justin Brayton Grand Marshal for Daytona SX 2023
A new tradition will begin at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night as Justin Brayton will become the first grand marshal in Daytona Supercross history for the March 4 event, the track today. Prior to the ceremonies, Brayton will also sign autographs and participate in track walks – giving fans in attendance the opportunity to meet and celebrate with the grand marshal.
Frank Kelleher – Daytona International Speedway President
“The grand marshal position is one of the most celebrated in motorsports at DIS and it’s time we bring that tradition to DAYTONA Supercross. Justin’s Supercross story is deeply rooted at Daytona through his emotional victory in 2018 and we can’t wait to have him kick off the biggest race on the Monster Energy AMA Supercross schedule.”
2023 AMA SX Round Seven Rider Quotes from Texas

Blow by blow recap of all SX races at Texas triple-header
Nate Thrasher – P1
“It was a good night. I started off with a second in the first main, and I felt really good with my speed. In the second main event, I didn’t ride my best. I tightened up a little bit and was in a sandwich between Jordon and Hunter (Lawrence). I made a couple of runs on Jordon but couldn’t quite get by, and then I had to protect my position because Hunter was behind me. So it was tricky, but I was happy to get another second. We went into the last one in a good position, I was kind of in the lead, but we were all pretty even. I just had to go out there and win and execute it perfectly at the start. I got out front, and I had a 10-second lead, and I just kind of backed it down a little bit. Then I got tangled with a lapper, but it is what it is. I just need to be a little better.”
Jordon Smith – P2
“It was a good bounce back from Tampa. I didn’t get a good start in the first main. I had a pretty good jump but got hit in that first turn. The first turn tonight was gnarly with how fast you were coming in – the outside guys could sweep and the inside guys were coming straight – so you had to be careful in the first turn. We made some adjustments for the second and third main, which worked out pretty well. It was a pretty hectic night, especially that third main event. Everything else wasn’t too bad, but that third main was crazy! It felt really good to get a race win, and being second on the podium was good as well. It’s always nice getting a 1-2 for the team.”
Hunter Lawrence – P3
“I was sitting in a good spot coming into the third race. Unfortunately, on that start I just ran out of real estate on the inside and got pinched; it’s never a good thing when you end up under your bike in the first turn. I just focused on damage control and not making a bonehead mistake or being worse off. There’s still a lot of racing to go; I’ve just got to go back and be better next weekend. That’s the beauty of it–you get to go again.”
Tom Vialle – P4
“Today was good. I felt comfortable in practice, qualifying in seventh and that was my best so far – I felt great on the track. In the first Race I was P5, but struggled a little bit with the start on the second one and finished ninth. The third Race was much better, finishing second in that one and I was really close to the winner at the end, so I was happy. We’ve made good improvements in these past weeks, we’re getting closer and fourth is a positive result. Now I’m looking forward to next week in Daytona.”
Max Anstie – P5
“It was a busy night in Texas but, all things considered, I’m pleased to leave with a fifth. I know that we could have been on the box, had it not been for that crash in the final main event. It is unfortunate, as there was nothing that I could do, but I’m happy with how we recovered. I will keep making steps forward with my team and we will be ready when gates drop in Daytona!”
Michael Mosiman – P8
“Man, it felt like after the last two races that we really went to work and made some adjustments on the bike and it was a lot better on the practice track. It really felt like we had got some momentum on our side back at home and it was going to carry that into the weekend, but we came here and were searching a little bit for comfort and feel. I had a couple of bad starts and I just need to grow my confidence. All we can do is take the positives and move on. I’m happy with my start in the third main and running near the front. It’s disappointing, but I’m glad we righted the mistakes of the first two and were able to put it up towards the front in the last one.”
Chris Blose – P9
“I had three consistent races tonight for another top-10 overall finish. I would like to challenge further up the running order, but I’m still improving with the team, and with the limited time we’ve had so far, we’re establishing solid building blocks. I’m looking forward to another week of working with everyone at Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki and we’ll give it another shot at Daytona.”
Chance Hymas – P10
“This weekend wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad. I struggled in qualifying, just wasn’t feeling comfortable enough to push to my limit. My first two mains were pretty good, just need to limit my mistakes and get a little meaner. Third main I ended up crashing and getting 16th. Tenth overall is nothing to be stoked about, but I’m happy to get out of it healthy. Now to get ready for Daytona.”
Talon Hawkins – P13
“Qualifying is definitely something I need to work on,” Hawkins said. “I’m going out to Baker’s Factory this next week and I’m going to be there for a while. We’re going to work on some high-intensity training. I know I need it, and I’m excited to implement that style of training. The rest of the day went pretty good. I ended up with a P13 overall. I’m pretty pumped about that. It’s a good base, and I know where to build from here. I’m hoping to get some top-ten finishes. That’s what I want, and I know I can do it. I’ve just got to put it together and ride the way I know how to ride.”

Cooper Webb – P1
“I’m extremely happy to get another win here in the season! Dallas is always a good one for me, so to come here and do well in the Triple Crown is super-cool. The first Race wasn’t my best one, we improved for the second one and then, in the last Race, obviously some mistakes of other riders helped me out, but overall I’m stoked to execute and get another win! I knew I had to get to the front in that final one in the end to get the overall, so that was what I was going for and I felt good, had a great pace going and was comfortable, so it was a good round for us. We’ll see where this carries us for the rest of the season, but I’m feeling confident and know what I can get better at – we’re all riding well and it’s definitely a dog-fight at the moment.”
Chase Sexton – P2
“I felt like I elevated my speed all day. I didn’t qualify the fastest in practice, so that gave me some motivation in the night show. In the last race I washed the front in a corner, but with my pace, I still felt like Eli was within reach. I just put my head down until he made that mistake. Unfortunately, I ran into some lappers but I just need to be able to read them better. Overall, I felt really solid in every main event–it was some of the best riding I’ve had. Obviously, I didn’t get the win, but everyone has to face the same thing. Lots of positives to take into next weekend.”
Eli Tomac – P3
“It was a mixed day. We went out there with a really good start in the first main and basically just rode a good race and led the whole thing. That was a perfect start for us. In the second main, I didn’t get the best start and struggled a little bit, and ended up fourth. In the third one, once again, I put myself in a great position and just made a small mistake on the back side of the tunnel jump and lost traction. It was a tricky track that way. It was a track that looked like it had good traction but, at the same time, could be slick. So I’m bummed to make that mistake but also happy to end up on the podium and still be in the points lead.”
Jason Anderson – P4
“From practice all the way through the final race tonight, I felt strong on my KX™450SR and I know we’re in a great spot to contend for wins. A small mistake through the first turn of that first race really cost me in the overall standings, but I salvaged what I could and bounced back for Race 2. We will keep putting in the work during the week and aim to be in the battle again in Daytona.”
Aaron Plessinger – P6
“I felt good all day in practice and then when the first Race came around, I’m not really sure what went on. I didn’t feel like I had much in me, couldn’t really push that hard, and in that first main event I didn’t have it for whatever reason. I tried to get as much fuel in me as I could before the second one and felt a lot better – likewise for the third one. It was good to turn things around in the night show with 6-5-5 for sixth overall. I’ll take it heading into Daytona and I’m excited for that!”
Justin Barcia – P7
“It was a disappointing night. I rode really good in the first race. The second race was a bit average, and in the third race, I was near the front of the pack, and just had one big mistake. I just lost it, had the crash, and went over the berm. Man, our speed is so good, and the bike’s so good. My starts were solid tonight, so there are a lot of positives, but I need to be better.”
Christian Craig – P8
“On paper it was better, but I still struggled a bit in the mains,” Craig said. “I need to get a start and run up front with those guys and learn that pace more. Starting in the back’s not going to help. Other than that, we went 7-8-8. I need to be better, and we’ve got Daytona coming up so we’ll keep working. I’m moving up in the points, but still want more.”
Justin Cooper – P9
“It was another tough one for me, but we kept pushing and made some progress throughout the night. Ninth wasn’t the result we were looking for, but it was another good learning experience in tricky conditions. We’ll just keep working.”
Dean Wilson – P11
“There are a lot of positives to take from Arlington! I am pleased that we are seeing progress and I know that we will be in that top ten soon enough. Qualifying was really good again and it just shows how close the speed is in the 450SX class. Hopefully we can take another step in Daytona!”
Colt Nichols – P14
“Another Triple Crown, and a very rough night in the office for me. I wasn’t agreeing with the track and had some mistakes and crashes. I had some bad starts and just put myself in poor positions. Luckily, we get to try again in seven days in Daytona; I really like that place and I’m looking forward to it. I’ve just got to wipe it clean from tonight and focus on next weekend.”

Injuries:
Marvin Musquin out with injury indefinitely
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Marvin Musquin has been sidelined indefinitely for the AMA Supercross Championship portion of the 2023 SMX World Championship as he continues to recover from a wrist injury sustained in January.
Upon returning to his home country of France earlier this month for further medical evaluations, Musquin’s surgeon determined that the 33-year-old has a broken scaphoid bone in his left wrist. As a result and considering a past injury, it has been decided that allowing his wrist time to heal naturally without rushing the process is the ideal method of recovery.
Kevin Benavides breaks femur in pre-race shakedown
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Kevin Benavides will not take part in the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge, after suffering a crash during the pre-race shakedown tests. The accident resulted in the newly crowned Dakar Rally Champion breaking his right femur.
It is expected that Kevin will be discharged from hospital in the coming days, depending on his progress.
Sam Sunderland breaks lower tibia in training
Sam Sunderland has broken the lower tibia in his right leg, ruling him out of the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge, after hitting a soft pocket of sand cresting a dune in training.
Sunderland hopes to be fully healed and back racing his GASGAS RX 450F by round three of the world championship, where he will join teammate Daniel Sanders in Mexico.

World Supercross Championship heads to first French GP
The second round of the 2023 FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX) will transform Groupama Stadium, Lyon, into a dirt battleground for the first-ever French Grand Prix, as the WSX expands its mission to elevate supercross into a truly global sport with six Grand Prix events across four continents in 2023.
Two of the 10 teams are French (BUD Racing and Team GSM), and WSX has attracted a host of French riders, including Cédric Soubeyras, Thomas Ramette, Jordi Tixier and more.
Cédric Soubeyras
“I’m so happy! It’s a good thing WSX comes to France right now. We are a strong country in supercross and motocross. Racing is going to be tougher than the pilot season because riders know WSX is the real deal. We race big stadiums, big tracks, good teams, good prize money, and I’m sure many champions want to join the party. I can’t wait to be back on my 450cc BUD Racing bike and get ready for the races. All my friends are only talking about this race at the moment.”
MotoAnatomy Powered by Royal Enfield reveal AFT line-up
Johnny Lewis and the MotoAnatomy Powered by Royal Enfield team are prepared to take on the 2023 Progressive American Flat Track championship. For Lewis, this marks his fourth year of competition with Royal Enfield, and the 2023 season marks another step forward as the MotoAnatomy team will now field a full-time two-man team in the premiere class, adding Ryan Wells to the roster.
Johnny Lewis
“This is going to be another historic season for Royal Enfield in American Flat Track. The Twins FT motorcycle is something we’ve spent a long time developing, and we’re now at a point where we have the confidence to go all in. We’re thrilled to bring on a second rider, as well. Ryan Wells is already a great addition to the MotoAnatomy team. We’re looking forward to kicking off the season at the Daytona Short Track.”
The expanded Royal Enfield racing team will make its 2023 racing debut at the Progressive AFT season opener at Daytona Bike Week in Florida. Look for Johnny Lewis (#10) and Ryan Wells (#94) at the Daytona Short Track Doubleheader on Thursday, March 9, and Friday, March 10.
Budd and Dobson to fly Serco Yamaha flag in 2023 AusProMX
The Serco Yamaha team enters the 2023 season armed with two experienced and professional contenders and a determination to win the ProMX MX2 championship. A change in rider and personnel behind the scenes has the team refreshed and reinvigorated for the new season and expectations are high as the off season has gone smoothly for the team.
Rhys Budd, second in the 2022 MX2 championship, will join Jesse Dobson on the Serco Yamaha team and make for a strong combination as the opening round of the 2023 championship draws closer. While Budd has moved to a new team, he still remains on Yamaha and the YZ250F, so the transition has been an easy one for him.
Rhys Budd
“Each year I have improved my result in the championship and also improved my speed and fitness, so the next goal is to take it to the top step and get that number 1 plate for both myself and Serco Yamaha. The transition to the Serco Yamaha team has been smooth and working with Paul Teasedale has been good. He has been super supportive and encouraging and already we have a great relationship. The bike feels super strong, we have done plenty of testing to ensure its right for me and now is the time to get after it on the track and notch up some race and round wins. Its less than 10 days to round one at Wonthaggi and we are ready to go. The track there is always tough but I think I have improved my riding in sand and have set my goals high to get the season started on the right foot.”
Jesse Dobson
“My shoulder was pretty beat up at the end of last years’ ProMX championship and I realistically didn’t have any other option but to have surgery on it and get it sorted. A shoulder construction takes in a four-month recovery process and as I had time, I was extra cautious with it to make sure I am 100% when the season starts. My riding and fitness is coming along and I feel improvements each week. I would like to have got in a couple of local races prior to round one just to get behind the gate and get used to race intensity but I just needed to keep preparing and think my experience will take over once I’m on the start line at Wonthaggi. I like the Wonthaggi track as it has a lot of similarities to my home track at Coolum with the dirt and the surface, so my plan is to get off to a good, solid start, log a good result and continue to build into the championship as the rounds progress.”
WMX Track Talk to launch in 2023
Motorcycling Australia has announced WMX Track Talk, an initiative of the Women in Motorcycling committee as part of the organization’s ongoing support for women seeking to compete and improve their skills in the EziLift MXW class in the 2023 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX).
The program seeks to build on the success of the EziLift MXW class of 2022, as well as the initial women’s-based programs. Set to feature at all ProMX rounds where the EziLift MXW Class races, the new initiative will see a dedicated track walk for female competitors with experienced and professional motocross riders.
The track walk is designed to welcome and introduce competitors to the round, venue and to each other, and further, build a dedicated network and community for women participating in ProMX this season.
Thanks to additional manufacturer involvement in 2023, the WMX Track Talk will allow a diverse range of riders and professionals to offer their knowledge, advice and support to competitors, significantly growing the network involved in the program.
Alongside the development of on-track riding and racing skills, the initiative will provide the opportunity for competitors and brands to create content as part of the round’s activities.
The building of a personal brand is a fundamental piece of the modern racing puzzle for aspiring riders and the WMX Track Talk will provide participants the opportunity to show themselves alongside established industry professionals to encourage profile growth and awareness.
Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP showcases new YZ450FM
Entering 2023 with the all-new YZ450FM and a fresh new look, the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory MXGP team is fit, fast and ready for the start of the 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship, encompassing Jeremy Seewer, Maxime Renaux and Glenn Coldenhoff. Not to mention the MX2 team of Jago Geerts, Thibault Benistant and Rick Elzinga.
Armed with Yamaha’s improved YZ450FM, which in 2023 is faster, lighter, slimmer, with enhanced stability and more agility than ever, the three MXGP riders are confident they have exactly what they need to challenge the crown while helping Yamaha defend its Manufacturer’s World Title.
In celebration of Yamaha’s strengthened partnership with Monster Energy, Yamaha Motor Europe also has its youngest team, the MJC Yamaha Official EMX125 team made up of Julius Mikula and Janis Reisulis, using livery that has been based on the look of the Monster Energy Yamaha Factory teams in MXGP, MX2, AMA Supercross, ProMotocross and MotoGP.
Prado narrowly misses overall win at Spanish MX Round 3
Jorge Prado of the Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing squad gave his loyal Spanish fans plenty to scream about as he competed in his first race of the year on home soil. The track that hosted the round of the Spanish national series is located in Prado’s hometown, Lugo, and actually named after the GASGAS star.
The fans got exactly what they wanted in the first moto; Prado used the power within his MC 450F to rip a clear holeshot and sprinted away from the field in the laps that followed. There was just no catching ’61’ – he was an unstoppable force and eventually won with an advantage of over a minute! It was a brilliant way to open another term in GASGAS colors.
The second stint was not quite as straightforward for the Spanish star. Although he took yet another holeshot, once again showcasing how capable his MC 450F is, he struggled with the backmarkers whilst in an intense fight for the lead. Prado had to settle for second in both the moto and overall classification, but was tied on points with the rider in first at the end of the weekend.
Jorge Prado
“It was great to be able to race in my hometown for the very first time. It was quite emotional. The atmosphere was incredible and more than five thousand fans came to watch! I was P1 in the first moto. I had a good start and had a lead of one minute by the end. The second moto was more of a battle! [Ruben] Fernandez started just behind me. We were fighting for a couple of laps and then he pulled away. I was struggling with the backmarkers a lot. I made another push at the end and got close, but I could not make that final pass. It was a good weekend. I feel like we are at a good point right now. I am happy.”
2023 Campeonato de España de Motocross Elite
Round Three: MX1 Overall
- Ruben Fernandez (Honda) 47pts
- Jorge Prado (GASGAS) 47pts
- Yago Martinez (KTM) 40pts
Coldenhoff tops Hawkstone Park International MX1 Overall
Glenn Coldenhoff has topped the Hawkstone International, ahead of the MXGP season, with Romain Febvre runner up and Jeffrey Herlings just missing the overall podium in fourth, with Brent Van Donick claiming that final spot.
Romain Febvre – P2
“I came here with no real expectations as I was three weeks without riding the bike after my arm surgery and I didn’t expect to ride so well, either in terms of speed or physically. For sure winning my first race of the season is a boost, and it was good for me mentally too! In the second race I started in the pack after slipping on the metal grid and I came back to third, then in the Superfinal several of us did the same again at the start. I was fourth at first but came through to second and at one point I was almost side-by-side with Coldenhoff for the lead but I couldn’t manage to take the advantage and right at the end of the race Van Doninck slipped past me. I was feeling the lack of riding and in the last five laps I got a little tired, which was to be expected after three weeks off the bike. It’s the first time I have been to Hawkstone Park; it’s a beautiful natural track with turns of so many different types and the big uphill where you can use the power of the motorcycle; it’s a beautiful circuit, especially when the weather is nice like today.”
Riders prepare for the MXGP season start with the Grand Prix of Argentina on March 11-12.

- Glenn Coldenhoff, NED, Yamaha

The reigning Monster Energy AMA Supercross Champion put ink to paper for a contract extension with the team beyond the supercross season that will see him defend his AMA Pro Motocross 450SX title and make a run for the first-ever SuperMotocross World Championship.
Eli Tomac – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing
“At the beginning of the season, I truly thought this was going to be a farewell tour, but I’ve been having too much fun racing my motorcycle. I have been enjoying every minute along the way with the team, so I’m excited to announce that I will be racing the entire SMX series.”
