Triumph Factory Racing’s Jordon Smith has continued his impressive start to the 2025 AMA Supercross series, securing his second consecutive 250SX West podium finish at round two at the weekend.
The racing held in San Diego’s scenic Snapdragon Stadium, Smith, who qualified second in his heat race for the main event, surged into third at the start of the race, thrilling a packed crowd.
The race was intense, with the leaders battling hard on a track that punished the most minor mistakes.
Smith used his experience to push his TF 250-X into second after the halfway point and held the position until the chequered flag.
The finish helped him maintain his perfect podium run in 2025 and advances him to second in the 250SX West series standings. Five points separate him from the championship leader.
Stilez Robertson, the team’s second competitor in 250SX West, withdrew from the event after straining his wrist in the first timed qualification session. Additional updates on his status for future events will be shared in due course.
Triumph Factory Racing turn their attention back to Anaheim’s Angel Stadium now, as the historic venue is set to host round three of 2025 AMA Supercross on January 25.
“Another great night! We struggled a little in the daytime but made some good moves as a team to improve the bike set-up,” said Smith afterwards.
“The track was gnarly in the main event. I got a good start and tried to not over push – it was important to respect the track. We gained some good points and now there is just one more step to go to get to the top of the podium!”
