The Livestock Events Center in Reno, Nevada, hosted Rounds 7 and 8 of the 2025–26 AMA Arenacross Championship on Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th, delivering a pivotal weekend in the title fight.
Both rounds were won by Josh Hill, who impressed in his first season appearance of the championship. Hill’s double victory added a fresh dynamic to the series as the championship battle tightened heading into the final stretch.
HIGHLIHGTS ROUND 7
In the title chase, momentum shifted decisively toward red-plate holder Ryan Breece (MCR Honda). His teammate Austin Politelli suffered a heavy crash while leading Race 1 on Friday and was unable to score points that night — a costly setback in the standings.
HIGHLIGHTS ROUND 8
As a result, Breece now leads the championship by 22 points over Cole Thompson (Team Solitaire Yamaha) and 24 points over Politelli.
With the planned Daytona round cancelled due to delays in building renovations, the series will now conclude this Friday, the 20th, in Guthrie, Oklahoma, where the 2025–26 AMA Arenacross champion will be decided.
