SMX Insiders ran an SMX Insider EXTRA segment following the Arlington Supercross weekend in which hosts Jason Weigandt and Jason Thomas interviewed AMA director of racing Mike Pelletier to clarify officiating decisions that affected the 250- and 450-class main events.

Pelletier explained how the AMA arrived at its rulings, reviewed specific calls from the Arlington races, and answered questions about the rationale behind the decisions and their impact on riders and event standings.

The segment focused on explaining outcomes rather than announcing policy changes, serving as a concise post-event review that gave fans direct access to the AMA’s perspective and highlighted the interaction between sanctioning officials and media when communicating result determinations.
