Fox Raceway Nationals: Deegan Dominates, Beaumer Shines in Moto 2

Haiden Deegan made a statement at the 2024 Fox Raceway Nationals by sweeping the event and winning the first moto of 2025. His impressive performance was matched by Julien Beaumer and Tom Vialle, who had a strong start but ultimately finished in the top two positions.

Race Highlights

  • Beaumer’s First Lap: Beaumer led his first lap ever in Motocross but settled into third place with a three-second gap to the leaders in Moto 2.
  • Lap Progression:
    • Beaumer quickly moved up to second place after passing Tom Vialle on Lap 5, with Deegan just over two seconds behind.
    • Shimoda passed Vialle for third place around halfway through the race.
    • Garrett Marchbanks initially rounded out the top five but fell off track late in the race, allowing Levi Kitchen to take his spot on the podium after he too fell earlier.

Key Moments

  • Deegan Takes the Lead: Deegan’s aggressive riding paid off as he took the lead from Beaumer on Lap 7. Beaumer commented, "I couldn’t follow him through turn four when trying to make a pass back by."
  • Shimoda’s Challenge: Shimoda struggled to stay close despite being fast all day long.
  • Final Minutes: Deegan set his fastest lap during the last seven minutes of racing. However, with only two minutes left, Levi Kitchen decided to call it quits due to a lack of speed compared to others still running strong ahead of him.

Overall Results

The win marks an impressive start for Haiden Deegan at Fox Raceway Nationals and sets him up for success heading into future events.
