Detroit Supercross Review Show on the Kickstart Podcast

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co. Round 11 of the 2026 Monster Energy Supercross Championship went off in Detroit, Michigan's Ford Field last weekend, and - once again - the racing was insane! Dare we say it, sometimes at this point in the series, the action has tapered off in the past and become almost predictable. Not this year! Though Honda HRC Progressive's Hunter Lawrence came in with a solid points lead and three wins in the last four races, a crash in the whoops and damage suffered to his front brake blew the championship wide open again as Eli Tomac reclaimed the red plate with a fifth-place finish. We've got a seven-race series on our hands, folks! In the 250 Eastern Division class, Cole Davies put an exclamation point on the dominance that he's enjoyed in the class, coming from nearly mid-pack to win by over 10 seconds. The New Zealander was upset with his performance at the first East vs. West Shootout of the year a couple of weeks ago, and he's certainly looking forward to a rematch with his teammate Haiden Deegan next weekend in St. Louis. We cover these points and a lot more, in this week's Kickstart Podcast!

Presented by 6D Helmets If you're fortunate enough to recognize the name Tom White and know what he meant to the sport of motorcycling, you'll want to tune into this installment of the 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast. Following in the footsteps of Tom, daughter Kristin, and her husband, John Anderson, launched Dubya USA, the company known as the best resource for high-quality wheels in motocross. Wheels built by the team at Dubya USA can be found on the machines of teams like Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna, Triumph Racing, HEP Suzuki, Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/Ducati, and more! Recently, the Anderson family branched out and created the Dubya Lab, a resource for custom-printed merchandise and accessories, and business is booming! Yesterday, Kristin and her daughter, Andie, stopped by the SML studios to talk about everything from what a badass Grandpa Tom was, to the White Brothers years, and from building Dubya USA's wheel empire, to creating the Dubya Lab, which is spearheaded by Andie. Whether it's wheels or merch, business is a family affair for the Andersons.

Presented by Maxxis Tires and Outhouse Coffee Co. Round 10 of the 2026 Monster Energy Supercross Championship visited Birmingham, Alabama, last weekend, and the action in both classes was spectacular! In the 250 class, we saw the first East vs. West Showdown of the year and were treated to some great racing as Haiden Deegan put on a riding clinic and came from 10th to first, passing all of the top riders from both coasts en route to the win. Or so we thought... Deegan was penalized by the AMA for clipping a track marker entering a split lane and was stripped of his win and docked to second. This gave his teammate Cole Davies the win, and we go over this extensively on the show. Hunter Lawrence was perfect in the 450 class and turned in a runaway performance over Ken Roczen and title rival Eli Tomac, who had one of the wildest nights in recent memory...

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co. Racers, mechanics, team personnel, and everyone involved in racing, just enjoyed their first off-weekend of the year. Some used the time to transition to motocross testing, others used it to stay on the Supercross grind, while most used it to enjoy some time away from two wheels. What did you do? Let us know in the comments!

Presented by 6D Helmets We've been lucky to watch Leum Oehlhof grow up in Southern California through the years. Though he moved across the country to pursue his racing dreams several years ago, we were still proud to see him make his pro debut last weekend in Indianapolis, qualify straight into the Triple Crown with the 16th-quickest lap time, and finish 15th overall. That said, we got the second-generation racer to join us on this installment of the 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast to find out more about his big pro debut!

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co. The second Triple Crown SX of the year went off at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis last weekend, and as expected, the racing was spectacular. Short lap times and a rutted, technical course made for some hairy moments with lappers, and though the three 250 class races were swept by New Zealander Cole Davies, all three 450 races had different winners, including first-time 450 winner Justin Cooper! We discuss everything we saw and learned at round nine of the 2026 Supermotocross World Championship on this week's show!

Presented by Maxxis and Backyard Coffee Co. There is no denying that Eli Tomac is the baddest dude to have ever ridden a dirt bike at Daytona International Speedway. ET3 earned his record-breaking eighth win at last weekend's Daytona Supercross, and he is now the winningest rider at the World Center of Racing in any form of motorsports. And while much fuss was made of him busting part of his front tooth off when the base of his trophy broke off and sent the brass rider smashing into his mouth, the big story is that the Red Bull KTM rider now has four wins on the season and has closed within a single point of his championship rival Hunter Lawrence. We talk about everything Daytona, in this week's Kickstart Podcast race review!

Presented by 6D Helmets Dubach Racing Development has been around since the beginning of the four-stroke revolution in motocross, as founder Doug Dubach has likely spent more time in the saddle of a four-stroke motocross bike than anyone else, factory racer or otherwise. As the lead R&D rider for the Yamaha YZ400F, YZ426F, and YZ450F, Dubach has a keen insight as to what makes a thumper really perform, and he used that knowledge to launch DRD, a brand that we know well. Jehan Tetangco started as one of Dubach's employees, using his experience and expertise gained in automotive exhaust, and has been with the Doctor from the start. These days, Doug has "retired" into a not-so-quiet life, and Tetangco is now the owner of Dubach Racing Development. We relived some great memories with Jehan and got the scoop on how the transition went down in this fun episode of the 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast. Enjoy!

Round seven of the 2026 Monster Energy Supermotocross World Championship went off last weekend in Arlington, Texas' AT&T Stadium, and just as every other race this year has, the action kept us on the edge of our seats! From Hunter Lawrence's inevitable first 450 Supercross win, to the talent-laden Eastern Division series kickoff that saw the triumphant returns of Pierce Brown and Jo Shimoda, there was plenty to go over on this week's Kickstart Podcast, presented by Maxxis Tires and Outhouse Coffee Co.

Presented by Maxxis and Outhouse Coffee Co. Man, what a race! Heading into the Seattle Supercross, the weather forecast looked grim, the Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl victory parade was getting in the way, and all in all, we were fearing the worst. What unfolded inside Lumen Field, though, was one of the best races of the year - in both classes - and we were all treated to some amazing action at round six of the 2026 Monster Energy Supermotocross World Championship!
