On a night that delivered world-class racing and unforgettable moments, Hunter Lawrence claimed a sensational last-race victory at the AUSX Open - the fifth and final round of the Fox Australian Supercross Championship - while American Joey Savatgy was crowned overall champion.

Marvel Stadium played host to more than 42,000 fans in what was Australia’s largest ever Supercross event and the homecoming for Supercross world 1-2 Jett and Hunter Lawrence.

This spectacular event not only determined the winners of the evening but also crowned the 2024 SX1, SX2 and SX3 Champions, following an intense season that spanned Brisbane, Wollongong, Adelaide, and Melbourne.

The SX1 class delivered unforgettable drama and fierce competition at the AUSX Open, with Hunter Lawrence (#96, Honda HRC) taking two of the night’s three races to close out the season in spectacular fashion.

Joey Savatgy (#17, Honda HRC) battled adversity, including a flat rear tyre in the final race, but had done enough to claim his first premier-class Fox Australian Supercross Championship. An injured Dean Wilson (#1, Froth/SCT Logistics/Honda Racing) put on a heroic performance, winning over fans with a valiant and gritty second-place finish in the finale and came agonisingly close to taking the title.

Jett Lawrence (#18, Honda HRC) and race one winner Cooper Webb (#3, Star Racing Yamaha) were notably absent from the final race due race two incidents with bike damage and injury, respectively, but their earlier performances added depth and excitement to the event.

Local racers Luke Clout (#4, Empire Kawasaki) and Jed Beaton (#14, CDR Yamaha Monster Energy) showcased consistency and skill throughout, solidifying their positions among the top contenders in a thrilling and fitting conclusion to the SX1 season.
