AMA Supercross - Big Winners

AMA Supercross - Big Winners

Dec 29

  • News

While it is obvious Jeremy McGrath and Ricky Carmichael are the biggest winners in the history of the AMA supercross, 25 men have won the biggest indoor prize in the World, and of course, the majority of those have been Americans.

Only Chad Reed (Australia) with two AMA supercross championships, J. M. Bayle (France), Pierre Karsmakers (The Netherlands) and defending champion, Jett Lawrence (Australia) have stopped a complete domination from the riders where supercross was invented.

In main event wins, its McGrath with 72, who leads that stat, but Eli Tomac with 52, James Stewart with 50, Carmichael with 48, Chad Reed with 44 and Ryan Villopoto with 41 are the big winners in main events.

For many years, it was Bob Hannah who led all the stats, with most AMA supercross championships and most main event wins, but in the 1980s, a bunch of men turned up and put-on high-level performances, from Ricky Johnson, Jeff Ward and Mark Barnett.

Jett Lawrence with eight main event wins in his AMA supercross career can move up that ranking, and if he can catch a second title in 2025 and add some main events wins, then he will become close to the best non-American outside his countryman, Chad Reed.

For the top internationals in the series, its Reed with the most main event wins and titles, but Ken Roczen with his 22 main event wins is also in the picture, as are Bayle with one title and 16 main event wins. Frenchmen, Marvin Musquin and David Vuillemin have no titles but do have 10 and 7 main event wins each. The only other internationals with main event wins are Seb Tortelli, Greg Albertyn, Jaroslav Falta and Pierre Karsmakers with one each.
