Nate Thrasher won the 250SX East overall at Round 14 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross in Cleveland, crediting a recent fix for an offseason shoulder problem with restoring his speed. Riding for Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing, Thrasher said, ‘I have won every year I have raced,’ and added the result should strengthen his position in contract talks; he said he currently has no confirmed ride for 2027.

Thrasher began the season managing the injury with results of 11th, 7th, 10th and 10th, then he led a race in Detroit before crashing in the whoops. He followed that sequence with finishes of fourth, second and first over the next three rounds before adding the Cleveland main-event victory.

The Cleveland win extended his streak of at least one 250SX victory in every season he has raced, including two wins as a 2021 rookie, one of them in Atlanta. Cole Davies finished third in Cleveland but retained the 250SX East championship lead, and the podium manufacturers were Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda.

On the 450SX side, Ken Roczen took the overall win in Cleveland, tightening that title fight, and Hunter Lawrence kept a one-point advantage in the standings.
