MXoN - Major Events
The anticipation continues to build as the 78th running of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations (MXoN) will make its return to the United States in just a matter of days. While the action on the track at Crawfordsville, Indiana’s Ironman Raceway will be at full tilt all weekend from October 3-5, the excitement and buzzing atmosphere will continue after hours with the introduction of Club MXoN, the event’s official nightly entertainment venue dedicated to giving fans the ultimate MXoN experience thanks to support from Alpinestars, ASV Inventions, FMF Racing, Maxxis Tires, and Monster Energy.
The Club MXoN stage will be the focal point of the venue once the track goes quiet, kicking off each evening at 7:00 p.m. ET with the Racer X Live Show powered by Vurbmoto. Inspired by late night talk shows, the nightly moto-centric program will be hosted by NBC Sports’ SMX broadcast host Jason Weigandt and will feature a legendary lineup of guests, including Grand Marshal Jeff Ward, the “G.O.A.T.” Ricky Carmichael, the “King” Jeremy McGrath, and former Pro Motocross Champions Chad Reed, Jeff Stanton, and Ivan Tedesco, just to name a few. A special appearance from the U.S. Motocross Team is also expected, as they look to capture the host nation’s 24th MXoN triumph. Fans will be treated to memorable storytelling, some behind-the-scenes secrets, and general bench racing from the most decorated figures in motocross.
“The Motocross of Nations is our sport’s biggest stage, and Club MXoN will give us a unique chance to connect our passionate fans with the legends of the sport who built motocross into what it is today,” said Weigandt. “The Racer X Live Show powered by Vurbmoto is going to be raw, unscripted, and a whole lot of fun. No one coming to the MXoN will want to miss it.”Jason Weigandt, affectionately known as "Weege," will welcome special guests at the nightly Racer X Live Show powered by Vurbmoto at Club MXoN.
