250 Moto 2 at SMX Carson and the second round of the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship Playoffs is coming to a close for the small bore class. One more moto in Southern California and the 250 field heads to Thunder Ridge for the World Championship finale — and everything that happens on the Carson track tonight feeds directly into how that final showdown in Missouri plays out.
250 Class Moto 2 — SMX Carson
By Moto 2 the Dignity Health Sports Park track has taken on a life of its own. The hybrid layout that was already demanding in the opening moto has developed ruts and character across a full night of racing — and the 250 riders attacking it in the second moto know that every single lap counts toward the World Championship standings. There is no room for a cautious approach at this stage of the SMX Playoffs and the 250 class showed exactly that mentality from the gate drop all the way to the checkered flag.
Watch the full Moto 2 in the video above and see how the 250 class wrapped up SMX Playoff Round 2 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
Carson Done — Everything Goes to Thunder Ridge
Two Playoff rounds are in the books and the 2026 SMX World Championship for the 250 class has one final chapter left to write. Thunder Ridge Nature Arena in Ridgedale, Missouri on September 26 will host the World Championship finale — and the standings heading out of Carson will define exactly what is needed from every rider when the gate drops for the last time in the Ozarks. Whether the title is within reach or needs a perfect night to secure it, every 250 rider on the Playoff grid arrives at Thunder Ridge with everything still to race for.
The 2026 SMX season is heading to its conclusion and the 250 class has delivered all year long. One round left. One championship to decide.
