2024 SEATTLE SUPERCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE
The Monster Energy Supercross Championship made the 2200-mile cross-country haul from Indiana to Washington for the 2024 Seattle Supercross. We’re set to get wet in the Pacific Northwest, as a week of persistent rain has set the stage for the eleventh round.
This will be the sixteenth race at Lumen Field, an open-air stadium on the southside of the city that’s connected to the enclosed pit area. Despite its lengthy tenure on the tour, just eight racers have won here, with Eli Tomac and Justin Barcia being the only active riders of the group; Barcia captured the checkered flag in 2013 and Tomac finished first in 2018, 2022, and 2023.
The AMA’s race page shows 92 names on the entry list, with an even split of 46 competitors in both the 250 West Region and the 450 Class.
The top-three riders in the 250 West Region are separated by just five points in the title fight. Stakes are high in the small-bore class and things like a heavy track, a Triple Crown, and two Showdowns are some of the things Levi Kitchen, Jordon Smith, and RJ Hampshire will face over the next five races.
A half-inch of rain in the past 24 hours wrapped up the wet week. The last of the bad weather should clear out by mid-morning, but it’s going to be a cold day, with cloudy skies and daytime highs in the low 50s and race time temperatures in the 40s.
