Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider Malcolm Stewart is beginning to build added confidence and momentum after showcasing his speed and later racing to ninth position at Anaheim 2's third round of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship. Equipped with the Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition, Stewart powered to the fourth-fastest time in qualifying during the afternoon in an impressive start to his weekend at Angel Stadium. The 32-year-old unfortunately went down in the first turn of his Heat Race, but remounted and worked his way through to field to an impressive P5 result. Faced with a slick track after rain fell just before the 450SX Main Event, Stewart came out of the first turn just outside of the top 10. The Floridian made some early moves up to seventh, before losing two places late in the race and finishing ninth. With three rounds in the books, he’s placed 10th in the point standings. "I actually felt good all day long. I was P4 in qualifying, but then went down at the start of my Heat race," Stewart reflected. "After I went down I had to come back through the pack with a really good ride and qualified for the Main. It rained before the Main Event, but we went out there and I felt pretty decent the whole time. At the end of the day, I feel like we’re making gains as a team. I felt a lot more comfortable today, we’re heading in the right direction, and I'm riding better." Next Race: February 1 – Glendale, Arizona Results 450SX Class – Anaheim 2 1.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider Malcolm Stewart has raced to a solid seventh-place finish in San Diego’s second round of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship. The 32-year-old posted the seventh-fastest qualifying time in an ultra-competitive session, then held his own during the opening 450SX Heat race to finish fifth, equipped with the Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition. In the Main Event, Stewart started well and ran as high as P4 during the opening laps. The Floridian continued to post fast, consistent laps as the track developed and eventually crossed the line in seventh position, elevating him to P9 in the standings following Round 2. Malcolm Stewart: "San Diego was a good rebound from what happened to me at A1. I felt pretty good in practice and my Heat race was solid. Then in the Main, I didn’t get the best start, but I kinda made it work going into the first turn and I was sitting inside the top five. During the race there were times I felt like, 'Alright, let’s go', but I made a few mistakes and felt a little flat. I’m not sure if it’s because I was a little stiff, but at the end of the day we finished seventh and we can keep building from here. Even though I’m not riding to my full potential, I was still able to land inside the top 10." Next Race: January 25 – Anaheim 2, California Results 450SX Class – San Diego 1. Eli Tomac (Yamaha) 2.
