Even though Birmingham is a fairly new stop on the Monster Energy Supercross Schedule, the city and the State of Alabama have really taken to it. The stands were jammed packed on Saturday evening when the gate dropped on the main events. From start to finish, both main events were exciting right to the checkered flag. Especially, the 250SX East/West Showdown, where Haiden Deegan charged from a poor start to first with a few laps to go. Unfortunately, Deegan was stripped of the win when it was determined that he cut a small portion of the track while charging to the front. Eventually, the main event win was given to Cole Davies, who also managed to extend his 250SX East points lead. In the 450SX main event, things were a little less dramatic as Hunter Lawrence went wire to wire for the win. Now, the 2026 Monster Energy Supercross Series moves North to Detroit Rock City for Round 11.
The Birmingham SX is a very popular round of the Monster Energy Supercross Series. Vincent Wey rode well and won his first ever SMX Next main event. Haiden Deegan battled his teammate Cole Davies while marching to the lead in the 250SX main event. The 250SX E/W Showdown featured multiple battles like this one. After crossing the finish line in first, Deegan was docked one spot for cutting the track. Seth Hammaker was fast at times in Birmingham, but was unable to get to the front. Hunter Lawrence grabbed the lead early and never looked back. Hunter’s win in Birmingham was perhaps the best race of his career. Your 450SX Birmingham podium. Ken Roczen rode great in Alabama, charging from 11th to 2nd in the 450SX main event. The best sound in the world is the sound of the 450SX class blasting off of the gate. Eli Tomac had to go through the LCQ, but was still able to finish on the podium in the main event. Now, it’s time to head to Detroit for Round 11.
