The 2025 AMA Supercross Championship has officially concluded, marking a highly successful first full season for the Quad Lock Honda team. With momentum building and key milestones reached, the partnership has made an immediate and impressive impact.
The team, consisting of Joey Savatgy and Carson Mumford, welcomed Shane McElrath right before the season opener —forming a strong trio that delivered standout performances, significant improvement in pace, and some of the best finishes of their careers.
The final round in Salt Lake City highlighted just how far the team has come. At the opening round of the season, McElrath—newly transitioning from the 250 class—was lapped and struggling to find comfort. Savatgy, meanwhile, suffered a crash in the main event and also felt off rhythm. Fast forward to the season finale, and the progress was undeniable: McElrath was in podium contention, pushing hard for second and third before a crash midway through the main set him back. He remounted and fought through the field to finish 9th. Savatgy continued his strong late-season form with another top-5 finish.
Savatgy, who missed four rounds due to a punctured lung and broken ribs sustained in Indianapolis, ended the championship 11th overall.
“Two top-five finishes—it’s okay,” Savatgy said. “But more importantly, we got the bike dialled. We’ve gathered so much valuable data heading into next year’s Supercross season, and that’s the real win. I now need to focus on Motocross.” 
McElrath, meanwhile, enjoyed the best 450 season of his career, claiming his first-ever podium in the premier class and finishing 9th overall in the championship.
“It’s been an amazing season with many milestones,” said McElrath. “I’m really happy with my riding and tremendously proud of everyone involved. We’ve built something special, and I can’t thank the team enough for the opportunity. With time before SMX, I’ll keep working with the team and may race some rounds of motocross as well.”
Carson Mumford showed flashes of brilliance and growing speed before injury struck. Just as he began to find form, a seemingly minor incident—a foot dab—resulted in a broken leg due to the sheer force involved. Despite not crashing, the injury sidelined him. His speed, however, was evident, often outperforming rivals in various track sectors. He wrapped up the 250 East Championship in 13th, with a season-best finish of 8th. Mumford continues his recovery and is expected to return for motocross later this year, though the specific round is yet to be confirmed.
Team Principal Martin Davalos was full of praise for the team’s performance, noting several historic achievements.
“I’m extremely proud of our riders and the entire team,” said Davalos. “We achieved our best-ever result in the 450 class with a second-place finish, multiple top-fives, and proved our bikes can compete with the factory teams in the 450 class. We’ve built a strong foundation and carry great momentum forward.”
With Supercross now behind them, the team shifts its focus to the upcoming Pro Motocross Championship, motivated by a season that laid the groundwork for even greater success.
