MATTERLEY BASIN (United Kingdom) — Infront Moto Racing announced Friday that the 78th edition of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations will be held Oct. 3-5, 2025 in USA. For the sixth running of this event on American soil, the host venue will be Ironman Raceway just outside Crawfordsville. This event is often referred to as the International Super Bowl of Motocross Racing.
“We are proud to bring the 78th edition of the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations to the USA in 2025,” Infront Moto Racing CEO David Luongo said. “We will head to the fantastic Ironman Raceway, renowned for its challenging layout and rich history in the American Motocross. 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.”
Crawfordsville Mayor Todd Barton was among nine other county residents in the United Kingdom to hear the announcement on Friday. The residents are a part of a local organizing committee for the event, which has been meeting for nearly one year.
“We are beyond thrilled to host the 2025 Motocross of Nations at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville,” Barton said. “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.”
MX Sports is well known in the area for being the force behind the professional motocross racing that comes to Ironman Speedway. The company will be working with Infront Moto Racing for the MCoN race.
“(The Crawfordsville race) will mark a new step in the outstanding collaboration Infront Moto Racing has with MX Sports,” Luongo said. “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.”
FIM Director Antonio Alia Portela recognized the collaboration with MXSports and the excitement of national teams racing for their countries.
“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,” Portela said. “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.”
MX Sports CBO Davey Coombs is pleased to having the race in Crawfordsville. Coombs has played an intregal part in the development of Ironman Raceway. He can be seen working on the track in a bulldozer during MX Sports event.
“I’ve been a lifelong fan of the Motocross of Nations, going back to the very early days of Team USA,” Coombs said. “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 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.”
The MXoN is an event where riders don’t just compete for themselves but for their nations.
Motocross fans from all over the world will flock to the American Midwest on the first weekend of October next year. The passion, pride and patriotism of the Nations is unmatched in any off-road motorcycling event.
