The Supercross League is heading to Cleveland, Ohio this weekend for the first-ever Triple Crown event at the newly opened Huntington Bank Field. The 450SX Class and 250SX Class will both compete in the three-race format, which has only been held at 11 other venues since its inception in 2018. This will be the 23rd Triple Crown round overall.

Why it matters

Cleveland is the latest city to join the Supercross circuit, with Huntington Bank Field becoming the 67th 450SX Class venue and 59th 250SX Class venue in league history. The Triple Crown format adds an extra layer of excitement, as riders will compete in three main events with the combined results determining the overall winner. This event could have major championship implications, especially in the tightly contested 250SX Class.

The details

The 450SX Class will see Hunter Lawrence look to extend his points lead, while Ken Roczen and Cooper Webb aim to close the gap. In the 250SX Class, points leader Cole Davies hopes to take another step toward the title, but Nate Thrasher and Devin Simonson are hoping for breakout performances with podium finishes.
