Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart earned his career-first 450SX Class victory with a brilliant charge from a mid-pack start at Round 5 of the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship inside Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The 32-year-old Tampa native was pure joy after reaching the top step of the podium in his 109th race start.
Malcolm becomes the 69th different race winner in the sport’s 50+ year history and the second African American athlete to win the premier class, behind only his brother, James. Malcolm and James also become the first brothers to each record a Supercross win in the premier 450SX Class.
“Big bro, you know. You’ve done this a long time, racing Daytona and Jacksonville, and you know there’s something about that hometown crowd, buddy. I don’t know if they were twisting the throttle for me, because, for a split second, I was like, ‘Alright I need to get this done.’ I was feeling really good, and you know what, Stewart is back in the whoops, Y’all!”
“After the Las Vegas final last season, I was planning on taking some time off and maybe do some fishing and things like that, then we had a hurricane (Milton) come through and I’m sitting in 5 feet of water and my whole house is destroyed…I ran the words Florida Strong on the back of my helmet because I want people to understand that I’m here, I feel you, I feel your pain, and you know we’re all one big family.”
