The 2019 Eastern Regional 250SX Championship kicks off at round six of the Monster Energy Supercross, an FIM World Championship series, this weekend at the 2019 Minneapolis SX. Like in the West, the #1 plate from last year has moved on to the 450SX class, leaving the title wide open for 2019.
As for the riders lining up who have 250SX main events wins on their resumes, you will have Martin Davalos (4 wins), Jordon Smith (3 wins), Austin Forkner (2 wins) and Christian Craig (1 win) all being chased by factory riders looking to get their first wins like Chase Sexton, Alex Martin, Justin Cooper, Kyle Peters, Mitchell Oldenburg, and the rookies: Hunter Lawrence (who is injured), Mitchell Falk, Thomas Covington and Jordan Bailey.
While the West is known for being the stronger region in most years, on paper the East is looking like the much deeper field of the two in 2019.
Check out the full pre-entry list below.
