After one of the most memorable seasons in history during the 50th Anniversary of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, the 12th and final round lived up to expectations in Southern California. Champions were crowned at the PristineAuction.com Fox Raceway II National, amidst the hottest temperatures and the most challenging race conditions of the 2022 campaign. Fittingly, the riders who headlined the season across both the 450 Class and 250 Class shined brightest for a finale befitting the exceptional racing on display all summer long.

450 Class

The closest championship fight in premier class history came down to the very end as Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing's Eli Tomac and Team Honda HRC's Chase Sexton squared off one last time. Each moto saw the best out of these two title combatants, however, Tomac's years of championship-winning experience ultimately proved to be the difference maker in a showdown that saw Sexton endure multiple missteps that left him seven points shy of his maiden title. Tomac's fourth 450 Class triumph put the finishing touch on a landmark season for the veteran in which he won both the Monster Energy Supercross and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship crowns and became an ESPN ESPY Award winner.
