Fairytale Finish: Jeremy Martin Wins Final Race of Career on Home Turf

by MikeJuly 15, 2025

Millville, Minn. (July 14, 2025) – It’s a rarity in sports when an athlete gets to retire on their own terms and it’s even more rare when they actually win that final competition in front of their home crowd. But that’s exactly what happened this past weekend at the FXR Spring Creek National, Round 24 of the outdoor Pro Motocross portion of the SMX World Championship. Millville native Jeremy Martin, a two-time 250 Class Champion, stunned the hometown crowd when he jetted off the starting gate first, capturing the holeshot for the first moto of the day and landing on the podium with a third place finish over defending champion Haiden Deegan and Japan’s Jo Shimoda.
