INDIANAPOLIS (March 8, 2025) – Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker delivered a strong performance at Lucas Oil Stadium, taking the win in the first East-West Showdown of the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. Teammate Garrett Marchbanks battled through a competitive field to secure a ninth-place finish.

Hammaker set the tone early, taking second in qualifying before finishing third in the 250 East heat race. Carrying that momentum into the night show, he grabbed the holeshot and led the entire race, earning his first win of the season and second career win.

“What an unreal feeling,” said Hammaker. “This is my second career win, and it’s been a while since I stood on the top step of the podium, so it feels amazing. I got a great start, sprinted early, and did my best to stay focused on a really tough track. Leading with a gap was a challenge, but I’m proud of how I managed it. Huge thanks to my team, my family, and everyone who has supported me through the ups and downs—it takes so much to get here.”

Marchbanks also performed well, finishing ninth in qualifying and fourth in the 250 West heat race. He maintained a steady pace in the main event, holding ninth place and locking in another top-ten finish for the team.

“The track was pretty technical,” said Marchbanks. “It was definitely more rutted and challenging than what we’ve had on the West Coast so far. But the biggest difference is the level of competition. You’ve got double the talent out there, and the starts are crucial. I didn’t get the best jump off the gate in the main, which made things tough. Even the heat race is stacked—it’s basically a full main event for seven to nine minutes. The intensity is definitely higher, but it’s all about adapting and learning from each race. The bike and the team have been great, and I can’t thank them enough. Now it’s just about making adjustments and moving forward.”

With the next weekend off from racing, the Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki team will return to racing at Round 10 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross championship in Birmingham, Alabama.
