The 250SX Main Event at the 2025 Detroit Supercross took a dramatic turn when Max Anstie, who had built a commanding lead, saw his advantage disappear due to a late-race red flag. Anstie was ahead by seven seconds over Levi Kitchen when Cameron McAdoo’s crash forced officials to stop the race. The restart, done in a staggered format, erased Anstie’s gap and set up a tense two-lap sprint. Kitchen took full advantage of the reset, making a crucial pass to secure the win. After the race, Anstie voiced his frustration, believing he had the victory locked up before the stoppage. However, he remained optimistic, highlighting his strong ride and overall confidence on the track.
According to Lewis Phillips, Max Anstie received a message from Cameron McAdoo after the race, apologizing for causing the red flag. Classy move!
