The 78th Edition of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations will be held in USA, from the 3rd to the 5th of October 2025! For the sixth running of this event on American soil, the host venue will be the spectacular Ironman Raceway just outside Crawfordsville, only an hour’s drive from the Motorsports Mecca of Indianapolis in the state of Indiana.
Ironman Raceway has hosted a round of the AMA National Motocross Championship each season since 2014, and on seven occasions has seen the final round of the series play out there. MXGP fans will know the venue well, as the site of Jeffrey Herlings’ famous debut with a double victory in 2017.
The USA holds the record for the most team victories in the history of the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations, with 23 in total, despite only truly joining the competition in the 1970s. The first ‘Nations’ in the USA was at Unadilla in 1987, in the middle of a period of dominance for the home team. Further home victories were taken in 2007 at Budd’s Creek, 2010 at Lakewood, and in 2022 at RedBud, which avenged the only American loss on home soil, which was to Team France in 2018 at the same venue.
Infront Moto Racing CEO, David Luongo: “We are proud to bring the 78th edition of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations to the USA in 2025. We will head to the fantastic Ironman Raceway, renowned for its challenging layout and rich history in the American Motocross. It will mark a new step in the outstanding collaboration Infront Moto Racing has with MX Sports. In this respect I want to thank Carrie Russel Coombs, Davey Coombs, Tim Cotter from MX Sport and all their team for turning this mutual project into life. I would like also to thank the city of Crawfordsville representative for supporting this event that will bring all the eyes and interest of the international motocross community to the region.
The MXoN is always a special event where riders don’t just compete for themselves but for their nations. The pride, emotion and intensity that comes with this race is something you can feel in the air. We are expecting an unforgettable atmosphere, with American fans and fans from all over the world coming together to celebrate this amazing sport.
Thank you to everyone involved and we can’t wait to see you all at Ironman Raceway for what promises to be one of the most exciting and memorable editions of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations.”
FIM/CMS Director Antonio Alia Portela: “It seems that it was yesterday when we last were in the US for the MXoN that brought so much glory for the team USA.
New bonds were built during that event that still confirm the friendship between the two sides of the Atlantic. And it is thanks to that will to strengthen that bond that IMR, MX Sports and Feld have joined forces to present in 2025 the 78th edition of the MXoN in the historic motocross track of Ironman Raceway.
It goes without saying that not only will the venue and facilities be up to the FIM standards required to hold such an event, but also all the energy and support from the FIM and AMA staff needed to run such event so that the atmosphere created by the MX fans from every single corner of the planet will make of this MXoN edition a lasting experience for those who will flock together to enjoy the best motocross riders of the galaxy.”
MX Sport CEO Davey Coombs: “I’ve been a lifelong fan of the Motocross of Nations, going back to the very early days of Team USA. When our parents Dave and Rita Coombs hosted a 125cc U.S. Grand Prix in 1987, their ultimate goal was to one day host the Motocross of Nations. It didn’t quite work out in my Dad’s lifetime, but we remained enthusiastic supporters when other great U.S tracks like Unadilla, Budds Creek, Thunder Valley and most recently RedBud got their shot. Finally, with the support of InFront and the entire community of Crawfordsville, Indiana, as well as all of our fellow promoters of AMA Pro Motocross and Monster Energy Supercross, the FIM and the AMA, it’s our chance to host this epic event. The bar has been set high by all of the previous MXON races in America, and we look forward to setting it even higher next October at Ironman Raceway.”
Mayor Todd Barton of Crawfordsville Indiana: “We are beyond thrilled to host the 2025 Motocross of Nations at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville. We look forward to welcoming teams and fans from around the world to our community and are already hard at work creating a fun-filled experience for our visitors that will be like none other.”
