Dunlop Riders Sweep 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championships for 17th Consecutive Year

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – May 12, 2026 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – The 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship season reached a historic conclusion in Salt Lake City, where Dunlop riders once again delivered championship-winning performance at the highest level of the sport. For the seventeenth consecutive year, Dunlop-equipped athletes swept all three Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championships, with Ken Roczen claiming the 450SX title, Haiden Deegan securing the 250SX West Championship, and Cole Davies earning the 250SX East Championship.

The sweep brings Dunlop’s unmatched total to 191 combined AMA Pro Supercross and Motocross Championships, further reinforcing the brand’s position as the industry benchmark in motocross and supercross competition.

The premier 450SX class delivered one of the most dramatic championship battles in recent history, with Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki’s Ken Roczen entering the Salt Lake City finale locked in a winner-take-all showdown with Honda HRC Progressive’s Hunter Lawrence. After a season defined by consistency, resilience, and elite-level speed, Roczen secured the 2026 450SX Championship, earning his first premier-class Supercross title and adding another milestone to Dunlop’s championship legacy.

In the 250SX West division, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan continued to prove why he is one of the sport’s brightest young stars. Deegan’s speed and race craft carried him through a dominant West Coast campaign, ultimately securing the championship before the final round and adding another professional title to his growing résumé prior to moving up to the premier 450 class.

The 250SX East Championship marked a breakout season for Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cole Davies. After a year filled with pressure, progression, and high-intensity racing, Davies rose to the occasion and claimed the East title, giving Dunlop a complete sweep across all three Supercross championships.

Across the 17-round season, Dunlop riders continued to set the standard in every class, competing for wins, podiums, and championships in a wide range of track conditions. From hard-packed technical layouts to rutted, deteriorating main-event surfaces, Dunlop’s Supercross program once again demonstrated the performance, consistency, and development strength that have made the brand the choice of the sport’s top athletes and teams.

“For the seventeenth consecutive year, Dunlop riders have swept all three Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championships, and that is something everyone within our company takes tremendous pride in,” said Broc Glover, Senior Manager, Off-Road Motorcycles at Dunlop. “Winning at this level year after year is never easy. It requires world-class riders, dedicated race teams, strong technical support, and products that can perform under the most demanding conditions in the sport. Ken Roczen, Haiden Deegan, and Cole Davies each delivered incredible championship seasons, and we are proud to have played a role in their success. We are grateful to every team and rider who chooses Dunlop, and we look forward to carrying this momentum into Pro Motocross and the SuperMotocross World Championship.”

Dunlop’s continued success in Monster Energy AMA Supercross reflects a long-standing commitment to racing, product development, and technical support. The same championship-proven approach that supports the world’s best professional riders continues to influence Dunlop’s Geomax line of motocross tires available to riders across the country.

With the 2026 Supercross season complete, Dunlop now turns its focus to the upcoming AMA Pro Motocross Championship and SuperMotocross World Championship, where the brand will continue chasing race wins, championships, and further milestones in its unmatched off-road racing legacy.
