Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb withstood heavy pressure to earn his fifth win of the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. The Pittsburgh Supercross victory helped secure Webb’s points lead with two rounds remaining on the season.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton had Webb in his sights for nearly every lap of the race, putting on two charges for the lead – both before and after a bobble that sent him off the track – but Sexton never got close enough to make a pass attempt. Sexton finished in second place, slowing his drive for the title after two consecutive wins at the previous rounds. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Justin Cooper followed up a heat race win with his second podium of the season. The Eastern Divisional 250SX Class delivered big thrills of its own with defending champion Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle taking over the lead in the closing minutes to earn his season-first win and take back the points lead. The victory marked the first time in the sport’s history that a divisional championship has delivered seven different winners.
“[I felt] a little bit of everything, man. It’s been a heck of a fight, and a rough two weeks, especially last week. So, it was much needed tonight. It was an incredible main event. We were going for it and if I made one little mistake, I knew he was going to get me. So, you want to talk about pressure, that was a lot. I’m just stoked on myself to rebound after last week to pull the holeshot and lead every lap with that kind of pressure. Man, it’s not easy to do. I’m stoked for myself, and I’m stoked for my team. I want to give it up to them. We made a bike change this week that was awesome… Last weekend was pretty hard on me and it’s great to get back up here and get another win, get the ball rolling, obviously stop the momentum that Chase had a little bit. But he’s going to be firing. I know he’s a hellova competitor.” – Cooper Webb (#2 in photo), when asked what he was feeling after the win, whether it was exhaustion or relief.
