Salt Lake City Supercross Recap: Finale Chaos, Fantasy Heroes & MotoGirl22 Tops Round 17

The 2026 Monster Energy Supercross season signed off in Salt Lake City with a proper finale. Big title pressure, aggressive racing, late-race drama, and one last chance for FastMoto players to cash in on fantasy points before Supercross wrapped up for the year.

In the 450 Class, Chase Sexton finished the season strong with the Main Event win, Justin Cooper charged to second, and Jorge Prado locked in third. Ken Roczen did exactly what he needed to do, finishing fifth to secure the 450SX Championship after a tense battle with Hunter Lawrence. Roczen and Lawrence entered the night separated by just one point, with Roczen ultimately taking the title by three points after Lawrence went down during the Main Event.

The 250 East/West Showdown delivered plenty of heat as Cole Davies and Haiden Deegan went bar-to-bar in a physical battle at the front. Davies came out on top, Levi Kitchen finished second, and Max Anstie rounded out the podium, while Deegan brought it home fourth in what Racer X noted was the final 250 race of his career before moving to the 450 Class.

For FastMoto, this was one of those rounds where the real race results only told half the story.

Handicaps, Hard Charger points, holeshots, and those sneaky mid-pack fantasy weapons all played a massive role in deciding who climbed the Round 17 leaderboard.

Round 17 FastMoto Winner: MotoGirl22

At the top of the FastMoto Round 17 leaderboard, MotoGirl22 nailed the finale with a massive 275 points.

It was tight at the top, too.

Seven3Racing finished just one point behind on 274, while taylorross locked down third with 273. That’s a brutal podium battle, with only two points separating the top three players for the round.

From there, Skywalker and SR53 both landed on 261 points, while Brentpeterss, Ullibulli and BroPower rounded out the top 10.

For the final Supercross round of the year, players had to be sharp. The obvious race winners helped, but the biggest fantasy scores came from riders who combined strong adjusted positions with Hard Charger points.

That’s where the finale got interesting.

250 Class Fantasy Breakdown

The 250 Class was the wild one for fantasy.

Cole Davies won the actual Main Event, but the highest FastMoto scorer in the class was Ryder DiFrancesco, who dropped a huge 42-point score.

DiFrancesco finished fifth on track, but with a +5 handicap, he adjusted to P1 and added a monster +17 Hard Charger points. That is exactly the kind of rider profile that can swing a FastMoto round.

Top 250 Fantasy Scorers

Ryder DiFrancesco — 42 pts Hunter Yoder — 38 pts Levi Kitchen — 31 pts Max Vohland — 30 pts Derek Kelley — 30 pts Justin Rodbell — 29 pts Luke Clout — 28 pts Cole Davies — 27 pts Parker Ross — 27 pts Haiden Deegan — 25 pts

Davies still rewarded players with 27 points thanks to the race win and +2 Hard Charger points, but DiFrancesco was the big fantasy difference-maker.

Hunter Yoder was another key weapon, scoring 38 points after finishing eighth, adjusting to P1 with his handicap, and adding +13 Hard Charger points.

Levi Kitchen also delivered strong value with 31 points, combining a P2 finish, adjusted P1 score, and +6 Hard Charger points.

250 Fantasy Movers: Hard Charger Points Made the Difference

The best 250 FastMoto scores came from riders who moved forward.

Ryder DiFrancesco was the standout with +17 HC points, while Hunter Yoder added +13. Those two were the clear fantasy bombs of the class.

Other strong 250 Hard Charger plays included: Henry Miller: +7 HC Levi Kitchen: +6 HC Luke Clout: +6 HC Max Vohland: +5 HC Derek Kelley: +5 HC

On the flip side, a few big names hurt fantasy teams badly.

Nate Thrasher scored -5 total points after taking a heavy -11 HC hit, while Cameron McAdoo also finished on -5 points after losing 16 positions. Seth Hammaker had an even rougher fantasy night, ending with -15 points after a -16 HC score.

That’s the chaos of FastMoto. One bad start, one crash, or one backwards slide can destroy a fantasy score fast.

450 Class Fantasy Breakdown

In the 450 Class, Justin Cooper was the top FastMoto scorer with 31 points.

Cooper finished second on track, adjusted to P1 with his handicap, and added +6 Hard Charger points. That made him the best fantasy pick in the 450 Class for Round 17.

Chase Sexton won the actual Main Event and still delivered a strong 27-point score, while Cooper Webb also scored 27 points thanks to his P4 finish, adjusted P3 score, and +7 Hard Charger points.

Top 450 Fantasy Scorers

Justin Cooper — 31 pts Cade Clason — 28 pts Chase Sexton — 27 pts Cooper Webb — 27 pts Jorge Prado — 26 pts Christian Craig — 25 pts Grant Harlan — 25 pts Justin Hill — 24 pts Colt Nichols — 23 pts Mitchell Harrison — 22 pts

Cade Clason was one of the sneaky fantasy hits of the round. He finished 19th on track, but with a 19-point handicap, he adjusted to P1 and added +3 HC points to finish with 28 FastMoto points.

That’s the exact type of pick that can make a difference in the mid-pack. Not always the obvious name, but massive value if the handicap and race movement line up.

450 Fantasy Movers: Cooper, Webb & Clason Cash In

Justin Cooper’s ride was the biggest fantasy result in the 450 Class, but Cooper Webb also gave players a valuable score.

Webb’s +7 Hard Charger points helped push him to 27 total points, while Colt Nichols added +5 HC on his way to 23 points.

Other useful 450 movers included: Justin Cooper: +6 HC Cooper Webb: +7 HC Colt Nichols: +5 HC Dean Wilson: +3 HC Grant Harlan: +3 HC Cade Clason: +3 HC Chase Sexton: +2 HC

The tougher fantasy nights came from riders who lost ground.

Hunter Lawrence had the holeshot bonus, but his crash and drop through the field meant he scored only 20 FastMoto points after taking -6 HC points. Ken Roczen also lost fantasy value with -3 HC, finishing on 14 points despite clinching the real-world championship.

That’s where FastMoto adds another layer. A rider can still have a huge night in the sport, but fantasy scoring rewards the full race story — not just the headline.
