Super Stats: Supercross Records and Milestones to Watch for in 2026

Can’t believe the 2026 Supercross season is almost here! I feel like this offseason has absolutely flown by with all the offseason races. This should be a great season of racing coming up and there is a lot of records and milestones to look out for in 2026!

I’ll first show the 450 class and then the 250 class. The 250 class is really interesting as now that RJ Hampshire and Jordon Smith are in the 450 class, there aren’t many active 250 riders at the top of various statistical lists/records. There is a lot of space for the current active riders to move up though.

I’ll show some tables of the stats I am mentioning and then have some information on riders not shown in the tables as well. Active riders will be in bold.

450 Class

Starts

Rank	Rider	Starts
1	Chad Reed	265
2	Mike LaRocco	228
3	Kevin Windham	207

5	Larry Ward	190
	Justin Brayton	190
7	Eli Tomac	184
	Kyle Chisholm	184

17	Cooper Webb	140
18	Ryan Dungey	134
19	Damon Huffman	133
20	Dean Wilson	132

Active riders in bold.

Eli Tomac should move into 4th all-time in starts this year. He needs just 7 to pass Larry Ward and Justin Brayton for 5th and then 9 to pass Nick Wey for 4th all-time. Tomac could also hit 200 starts in his career if he races 16 of the 17 rounds.
Justin Barcia could find himself 5th all-time or even 4th all-time if Tomac were to suffer an injury. Barcia sits at 179 and could easily surpass Wey, Ward and Brayton.
Ken Roczen and Jason Anderson could move up the rankings as well and be in the upper 170s.
Malcolm Stewart needs just two more starts to match his brother James Stewart in career starts. Malcolm sits on 121, James at 123.
Aaron Plessinger will likely get over the 100 starts mark this year, he is currently at 94.

20	Andrew Short	1,905

There are currently 5 active riders in the Top 10 of the all-time points standings: Eli Tomac, Ken Roczen, Jason Anderson, Cooper Webb and Justin Barcia. Five years ago, after the 2020 season, none of these riders were in the Top 10 – Tomac was 11th. After that, only Ken Roczen was even in the Top 25! Lots of movement in the last 5 years!
Eli Tomac needs 163 points this year to move into second all-time and pass Mike LaRocco. If healthy, this should be very easy for Tomac.
Roczen will likely remain in his spot at 6th.
Ryan Dungey could find himself going from 7th, down to 10th this year.
- Jason Anderson just needs 44 points to surpass Dungey.
- Cooper Webb just needs 64.
- Justin Barcia needs 150. If healthy, this should be fairly easy for Barcia to achieve.
Interestingly, there are no active riders in the 11-20 range. In fact, there isn’t any in the 21-30 range either! Malcolm Stewart is next at 31st right now.

Starts

Rank	Rider	Wins
1	Jeremy McGrath	72
2	Eli Tomac	53
3	James Stewart	50
4	Ricky Carmichael	48
5	Chad Reed	44
6	Ryan Villopoto	41
7	Ryan Dungey	34
8	Cooper Webb	30

	Mark Barnett	17
17	Chase Sexton	16
	Jean-Michel Bayle	16
19	Jason Anderson	14
20	Ezra Lusk	12
	David Bailey	12

Pretty crazy to think if Eli Tomac won every race this year he would still be two behind Jeremy McGrath all-time. I think MC’s record is safe. The only way I see McGrath’s record at risk is if the season expands beyond 17 races and has 20+ in the future.
Cooper Webb needs 5 wins to surpass Ryan Dungey for 7th all-time.
Ken Roczen would need 5 wins to move into the Top 10, passing Bob Hannah.
Chase Sexton could work his way up, especially with Jett Lawrence’s injury.
If you’re wondering where Jett Lawrence sits, he currently has 9 wins – 26th all-time.

Podiums

Rank	Rider	Podiums
1	Chad Reed	132

16	Marvin Musquin	50
17	Chase Sexton	45
18	Ezra Lusk	40
19	Johnny O’Mara	40
20	Bob Hannah	39

With 10 Podiums, Eli Tomac could surpass Jeremy McGrath for second all-time.
Cooper Webb needs 6 podiums to move into 6th all-time, passing Mike LaRocco. If Webb get 12 podiums this year, he will pass Ricky Carmichael for 5th all-time.
- Same figures apply for Ken Roczen.
With a 10+ podium season, Chase Sexton could move up to be right outside the Top 10.

Laps Led since 2003

Rank	Rider	Laps Lead Since 2003
1	Eli Tomac	1,007
2	James Stewart	921
3	Chad Reed	817
4	Ken Roczen	794
5	Ryan Villopoto	735
6	Ryan Dungey	672
7	Cooper Webb	496
8	Chase Sexton	486

16	Trey Canard	92
17	Cole Seely	88
18	Justin Brayton	79
19	Aaron Plessinger	68
20	Adam Cianciarulo	67

The laps led data only dates back to 2003. I would love to have it before that, but lets compare since 2003.

Ken Roczen needs 24 laps led to surpass Chad Reed for 3rd since 2003. If Roczen really crushed it this year, he would need 128 to pass James Stewart.
Chase Sexton will likely lead more laps than Cooper Webb and pass him in the rankings.

250 Class

Starts

This current active 250SX rider with the most starts? Probably would take you a while to guess….its Cole Thompson! Thompson has 59 starts at the moment, one more than Michael Mosiman.

Thompson is currently 27th all-time in 250SX starts:

Rank	Rider	Starts
1	Barry Carsten	119
2	Martin Davalos	106
3	Kyle Cunningham	97
4	Greg Schnell	92
5	Mitchell Oldenburg	85
6	Nathan Ramsey	81
7	RJ Hampshire	77
8	Josh Hansen	76
	Jordon Smith	76
10	Kyle Peters	75
	Alex Martin	75
12	Mike Brown	74
	Kelly Smith	74
	Christopher Gosselaar	74
15	Jimmy Decotis	71
	David Pingree	71
17	Chris Blose	70
18	Brock Sellards	69
19	Zach Osborne	68
20	Ryan Morais	67

…

27	Cole Thompson	59
28	Michael Mosiman	58

If Cole Thompson and Michael Mosiman were to race every race in their region and shootouts, they would both move into the Top 10 all time in the class.

Points

Rank	Rider	Points
1	Martin Davalos	1,366
2	RJ Hampshire	1,302
3	Barry Carsten	1,277
4	Jordon Smith	1,200
5	Nathan Ramsey	1,189
6	Mitchell Oldenburg	1,129
7	Mike Brown	1,084
8	Kyle Cunningham	1,079
9	Shane McElrath	1,035
10	Jeremy Martin	1,010
11	Greg Schnell	1,006

13	Brock Sellards	960
14	Christian Craig	914
15	Jo Shimoda	884
16	David Pingree	876
17	Kyle Peters	875
18	Michael Mosiman	857
19	Cameron McAdoo	842
20	Jimmy Decotis	839

Jo Shimoda is currently 15th all-time in 250SX points with 884. With a really good year, he could work his way up to potentially Top 7 with a 200 points season. At the very least, he should pass into the Top 10.
Michael Mosiman and Cameron McAdoo are shortly behind at 857 and 842 could make there way up too.

Wins

Rank	Rider	Wins
1	James Stewart	18

	Ricky Carmichael	12
16	Adam Cianciarulo	11
	Marvin Musquin	11
	Jeff Matiasevich	11
	Cooper Webb	11
	Ryan Villopoto	11

Austin Forkner is currently tied for 3rd in all-time wins with 13. Only behind James Stewart at 18 and Nathan Ramsey at 15.
Forkner has the most of any 250SX rider without a regional championship.
The next highest active rider is Haiden Deegan at 7 wins. A bunch of wins this season could move him up in the all-time rankings for the 250SX class.

Podiums

Rank	Rider	Podiums
1	Nathan Ramsey	33
2	Stephane Roncada	27
	Jordon Smith	27

16	James Stewart	21
	Austin Forkner	21
	Damon Huffman	21
	Eli Tomac	21
	Marvin Musquin	21
	Colt Nichols	21

Not a ton of active riders super high on this list. Cameron McAdoo is the active leader at 23, tied for 7th all-time. 5 Podiums would move him into second all-time.
- 4 would tie him for second.
- 3 would tie him for fourth.
- 1 or 2 would move him into 5th place alone by himself.
Austin Forkner could move up on the list as well.
Haiden Deegan has 17 podiums in the 250SX class, a lot of podiums this year could move him up pretty far.

Laps Led since 2003

Rank	Rider	Laps Lead
1	Austin Forkner	321
2	Jett Lawrence	262
3	Shane McElrath	206

16	Ivan Tedesco	121
17	Christophe Pourcel	120
18	Zach Osborne	114
19	Jake Weimer	109
20	Colt Nichols	106

Keep in mind this is just since 2003. James Stewart would be higher but we don’t have data for his 2002 season.

Austin Forkner is the all-time leader at 321 laps led since 2003.

Next active riders:

Deegan at 97 – 23rd all-time.
Thrasher at 96 – 24th all-time.

A dominant season could see Haiden Deegan move into the Top 10. A dominant season from really any active 250SX rider would see them move up pretty far for this stat.

Thanks of reading! Hope we have great season of racing in 2026!
