2025 Southwick National at The Wick 338 – Only the strong survive

Next Saturday, June 28, the Pro Motocross Championship invades the legendary deep sand of Southwick, MA, for Round 5 of the 2025 season. The Wick 338 is a brutal test of rider endurance, bike setup, and grit—promising intense action and unpredictable results.


What Makes Southwick Special

  • Deep sand galore – Unlike hard-pack tracks, Southwick is sand. It’s a conditioning-heavy battleground and playground for sand-savvy riders.
  • Line choices matter – Ruts form quickly, forcing split-second decisions and constant adaptation.
  • Home turf drama – Local riders and privateers often light up qualifying—this is their stage to shine.

Weather Outlook: Bring the Grit

  • Although it is still a week away, we can expect hot, humid conditions next weekend with highs in the 90s°F. Afternoon storms may roll through, making hydration, shade, and weather flexibility essential.
