The 2024 AMA Supercross Championship was the 51st season of off-road stadium motorcycle racing in the United States.. Comprising 17 rounds, the series ran from January until May, crowning supercross champions in both the 250cc and 450cc classes, concluding with the Salt Lake City round on May 11. [1]
Supercross racing classifications are governed by the displacement of the motorcycle's engine. They were based on two-stroke engines until 2006, when four-stroke engines replaced two-stroke engines. From 2007 until 2012, a formula nomenclature similar to IndyCar was used, with the 450cc class known as Supercross and 250cc as Supercross Lites.
The 2023 season was the first 450cc supercross championship for Chase Sexton. This was also the first 4 stroke, 450cc championship for Honda and the first time in 20 years that Honda won the premier class of supercross since Ricky Carmichael in 2003 [1] The championship formed the first part of the inaugural SuperMotocross World Championship.

The 2024 AMA Supercross Championship is the 51st season of off-road stadium motorcycle racing in the United States. Comprising 17 rounds, the series will run from January until May, crowning supercross champions in both the 250cc and 450cc classes, concluding with the Salt Lake City round on May 11.
The season began on January 8 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, running until the final race in Salt Lake City, in late May. [2]In round 3 at San Diego, Chase Sexton and Michael Mosiman each won their first events in the 450cc and 250cc classes respectively.
Around 40 riders qualify for each Supercross round. Heat races and LCQs are used to bring the field down to 22 riders for a points-paying main event for each round. A main event is 20 minutes plus 1 lap for the 450 class and 15 minutes plus 1 lap for the 250 class. There is no 250 Supercross national champion like there is for motocross.
FIM World Supercross Championship points will be awarded for each of the three Main Event races. Points will follow the traditional supercross format of 25, 22 and 20, 18 and 16 points respectively for first through fifth place, with the remaining 17 riders earning from 15 points to 1 point, depending on where they finish.
The event uses Olympic-style scoring, so the rider who gets the lowest overall score (a 1+1+1=3 being a perfect score for winning all three Main Events) is declared the winner. The overall winner pockets $100,000 if he fails to win all three Main Events. [2] Amateur and junior divisions also compete at the Monster Energy Cup. [2]
