Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Landon Gibson to contest final two 250MX rounds

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Amateur Factory Elite team prospect Landon Gibson will line up for his first professional Pro Motocross Championship start at Unadilla this Saturday, followed by a second scheduled appearance at Budds Creek for next weekend's outdoor finale.

It is a unique opportunity for the 16-year-old to gain invaluable National experience in the pro ranks, joining Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing 450MX teammates RJ Hampshire and Malcolm Stewart for Rounds 10 and 11 of season 2025.

Gibson has enjoyed a successful year of amateur competition to date, including a P2 result in last weekend’s SMX Next – Motocross Combine at Ironman Raceway, where he won Moto 2 onboard his Husqvarna FC 250 Factory Edition. The highly-rated teenager out of Peachtree City, GA, will continue competing as an amateur through the 2026 season.

“Man, this has been a lifelong dream of mine to line up for my first pro race,” commented Gibson. “I couldn’t be more excited to be doing it under the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna tent and thankful for my team giving me the opportunity. My dreams have come true, and I am ready to go bang bars!”

Following these upcoming opportunities in 250MX to build experience, Gibson will continue his SMX Next journey during the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) Playoffs, including the ‘World All-Stars’ events in Charlotte and St. Louis during September.

"I’m excited to have Landon Gibson join the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team under the tent this weekend and next," said Nathan Ramsey, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team manager. "Landon is a youthful rider with a great opportunity to showcase his talent in the pro ranks, and this experience will give him a solid gauge of where he stacks up in the 250 class.

"He’s proven himself throughout the year in amateur racing, and we’re confident this next step will help him grow even more. What he learns over the next two weeks will be valuable as he heads into the SMX Next World All-Stars. We’re looking forward to seeing him out on the track."
