Today at the FIM Motocross of Nations opening press conference, it was confirmed that Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, IN, will host the 2025 Motocross of Nations Oct 3-5.
RedBud has hosted the MXoN the last two times the event has come to the US (2018 and 2022).
This will be the first time Ironman will host the event.
It was also confirmed that the 2026 event will return to Ernée, France. The track has hosted the event most recently in 2020 and 2023.
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 Sports 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.”
