Eli Tomac recorded seven 450SX main-event victories at Daytona across 11 starts, including seven of eight Daytona 450SX mains between 2016 and 2023. His worst Daytona finish was fourth place in his first 450SX start—the only time he finished off the podium—and he missed the 2025 Daytona Supercross after breaking his leg at the Tampa Supercross. Over the 2025 season Tomac also notched his 107th 450SX podium (third all-time), his 236th SMX League podium (the most all-time), and moved into the top five for 450SX starts. Tomac’s career Daytona results are recorded across the 2016–2025 timeframe, even though he did not race the 2025 Daytona event.

Other veteran performers and rising stars added momentum and milestones during 2025. Hunter Lawrence secured his first 450SX victory in his 26th start, becoming the 70th different 450SX Class winner and joining the group of riders with 25 SMX League wins; he and brother Jett Lawrence became the second pair of brothers to each score 450SX victories. Cooper Webb extended an active podium streak to eight rounds and notched his 80th 450SX podium, tying Ken Roczen for seventh all-time; Webb finished second at Daytona five times and reached the Daytona podium in seven of his eight starts. Ken Roczen won the 2025 Daytona Supercross; he and Eli Tomac are the only active riders on the current roster who have won Daytona’s 450SX main. Jett Lawrence, the 2024 Daytona winner, was sidelined for the 2025 season with an ankle injury. Ken Roczen, Justin Cooper and Chase Sexton also reached notable career start and top‑5 benchmarks across the season.

250SX and divisional storylines continued alongside the 450SX narrative. Pierce Brown captured his first career 250SX win in his 37th start, Jo Shimoda returned from a neck injury to earn his 12th 250SX podium, and Daxton Bennick became the fifth rider to podium in three consecutive Eastern Divisional Openers. Daytona International Speedway’s place on the calendar remains significant: the track has hosted a Supercross round every season, and Daytona winners have gone on to claim the 450SX title in 25 of 52 seasons and the 250SX title in 25 of 41 seasons.
