A podium result in Moto 1 and fourth overall was another sure sign of progression for Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire in Round 6 of the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship at RedBud, where 450MX teammate Malcolm Stewart scored a solid eighth-place on the 4th of July weekend. Equipped with the Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition and lining up with a USA-themed livery, Hampshire qualified in fifth position before racing to a convincing P3 finish after factoring up-front during the first race of the day at the famed Michigan venue. Moto 2 saw the 29-year-old start in ninth, with a progressive climb through the field netting a sixth-place finish, which was enough for fourth overall. With his RedBud result, class newcomer Hampshire maintains sixth in the 450MX standings after six rounds. “Awesome day at RedBud!” commented Hampshire. “I felt good on the bike and I actually had a bit of that send it kind of vibe on the 450. First moto, I almost got the holeshot and ran up front for a while, which was a good feeling, and I felt pretty strong for the whole moto. Bad start in Moto 2, but I came through the pack fast, and overall it was a big learning day for me. Fourth overall – I'm a man of my word – and I said this is kind of where I would be at this point, and we're getting there. The next goal is to hit an overall podium, which we'll work towards next weekend at Millville." For teammate Stewart onboard his Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition, an 11-10 moto scorecard earned the number 27 a welcome eighth overall for the round, which was a strong performance given the nature of the challenging RedBud conditions and depth of the premier class in 2025. "RedBud was a blast!" said Stewart. "I always love the energy here – the fans were unreal, as always. I gave it everything I had and came away with eighth overall. We’ll keep digging and head to Millville next... It's time to face the Whoop Monster!" Next Race: July 12 – Spring Creek, Minnesota Results 450MX Class – RedBud National 1. Jett Lawrence (Honda) 2.

A sixth-place finish overall signaled another step forward for Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire during Round 5 of the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship at Southwick, with 450MX teammate Malcom Stewart ultimately salvaging 10th overall. Equipped with the Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition, Hampshire posted the eighth-fastest qualifying time during the morning sessions, before climbing through the field after a first turn pile-up in Moto 1 to an impressive eighth-place result. In Moto 2, the 29-year-old toughed out the deteriorating track conditions, racing to a season-high moto finish of fourth position following an inpspired late-race charge. Hampshire would complete the weekend in sixth overall and maintains P6 in the 450MX standings. “Pretty solid day here in Southwick,” reflected Hampshire. “I felt good in qualifying, and then a first turn pile-up in Moto 1 had me in pretty much last place. We were strong all race to come back to eighth, and I knew all I needed was a better start for the second one. We got that, and plugged away from there on a tough track, and it feels good to get my first top-five moto score with P4 in that one. We'll take it and look forward to RedBud next weekend." Stewart and his Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition returned to action for a top 10 finish overall in Massachusetts, with a 12-10 race scorecard despite facing his share of adversity this afternoon seeing him climb to 11th in the championship standings. "Southwick was a battle, for sure!" Stewart said. "Went down first moto in the turn, and my starts were killing me all day. Rode strong, but was buried in the pack, and this isn’t the track where you wanna come from behind. Still made a lot of great passes, learned a ton, and I’m taking that momentum into RedBud. Let’s keep building!" Next Race: July 5 – RedBud, Michigan Results 450MX Class – Southwick National 1. Jett Lawrence (Honda) 2. Hunter Lawrence (Honda) 3. Eli Tomac (Yamaha) 6.
