Jett Lawrence Wins the 2023 450 Motocross Championship
UNSTOPPABLE DOMINANCE
In a historic weekend that will forever be remembered by fans around the globe, Jett Lawrence, the likable young Australian sensation, achieved an extraordinary milestone – clinching his very first 450 Motocross title in his Rookie season.
“It’s an unreal opportunity,” Jett said after the weekend's race. “Like Hunter said when he won his championship, I haven’t even dreamed of this, because we never thought it was possible to be where we are today. To do it like this, being undefeated so far, it’s very emotional for me, with all the hard times we’ve gone through, and the hard work. That whole second moto, I was keeping it together and just pushing, pushing, pushing. Then as soon as I went over the finish line, the emotions came out."
Jett's extraordinary performance this season places him on the verge of joining an elite club as only the third rider in history to maintain an undefeated record throughout a 450 motocross season. With an impressive streak of victories in the initial 9 rounds, totaling an impressive 18 race wins, Jett finds himself merely four motos away from achieving a flawless season. The anticipation and excitement among fans are palpable as they eagerly await the remaining races to witness whether Jett can etch his name in the annals of motocross history with this exceptional feat.
With only two rounds left in the motocross championship, Hunter Lawrence, Jett's older brother, is in a strong position with a commanding 22-point lead over his rival, Justin Cooper. This puts the Lawrence brothers on the brink of making history by possibly becoming the first siblings to win both the 250 and 450 classes in the same year. It's an exciting moment in motocross as fans eagerly await to see if the Lawrence brothers can achieve this remarkable feat.
