Haiden Deegan continued his hot streak in the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship, winning his fourth consecutive 250 race at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Deegan led all 17 laps to extend his points lead in the 250 West division to 27 points, more than a full race advantage over his closest competitor.

Why it matters

Deegan's dominant run has him firmly in control of the 250 West championship with one race remaining before a long break for the East division. His ability to win consistently has put him in prime position to defend his 2025 title, though speculation continues about a potential move up to the 450 class.

The details

Deegan got the holeshot and led every lap of the main event, with Levi Kitchen and Cameron McAdoo rounding out the podium. Kitchen was the fastest rider on track late, but Deegan may have been managing the gap. This marked Deegan's fourth straight victory, the longest winning streak of his career. Michael Mosiman rebounded from a disappointing Houston round to finish fourth, while Ryder DiFrancesco continued his consistent season with a fifth-place result.

  • Deegan earned the holeshot at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and led all 17 laps of Round 5.
