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.

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing rider Malcolm Stewart put a dramatic Heat Race crash behind him to take a top 10 result in the opening round of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship at Anaheim 1. The Floridian posted the seventh-quickest qualifying time and had worked his way into P3 in his Heat when a heavy crash resulted in a DNF. Banged up and bruised, Stewart progressed to the Main after finishing P2 in the Last Chance Qualifier on his Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition. An outside gate pick for the Main Event then forced him to work his way through the 450SX pack over the duration the 20-minute race, taking the checkered flag in a hard-earned 10th position. Malcolm Stewart: "A1 was a mystery for me. I honestly felt good all day, in the Heat Race I was sitting third and made a mistake in the sand, and the next thing you know I got whipped and went flying. I hit the ground pretty hard and beat myself up, but when you hit the ground like that it’s to be expected that you don’t bounce back the way you want. I got checked out and I got the green light to go racing, so I went into the LCQ and salvaged what we had. In the Main Event I thought if I could top 10, that’d feel like a win. Sure enough, we got 10th, so we leave on a really high note due to the circumstances and how I feel. I’ll take a couple of days off now to regroup and get ready for San Diego."
