2026 SuperMotocross Round 11, Detroit: Top finishes, previous winners, historic results, who to watch

Round 11 of the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship visits Ford Field in downtown Detroit, Michigan, this weekend as Hunter Lawrence slowly extends his lead over Eli Tomac and the field. The Detroit metro area is the second-most-visited venue in Supercross, behind Anaheim, California, despite a two-year hiatus in 2020 and 2021, as well as another five-year break from 2009 through 2013. Between Detroit's Ford Field and Pontiac's Silverdome, 58 races have been held there.

Since 2006, Ford Field has been the venue of choice. Tomac ruled Detroit from 2015 through 2022, winning four of five rounds. Jason Anderson won in 2016, interrupting his streak.

With four wins, Tomac is third behind Bob Hannah (nine) and Jeremy McGrath (six) on the all-time Detroit wins list — and he needs a victory to stall the momentum of Hunter Lawrence, who has won three of the last four rounds. Tomac added the distinction of earning the most points in Supercross and Motocross history last week, scoring his 10,242nd to move past Mike LaRocco (10,217). That record will stand for quite some time.

The last three races have been won by three riders: Chase Sexton in 2023, Jett Lawrence in 2024, and Cooper Webb last year. Last week's Birmingham race was a turning point for several racers. Four riders earned their best finish of 2026 there, with Malcolm Stewart finishing fifth, Colt Nichols (eighth), Jordon Smith (ninth, which was also Triumph's first 450 top-10), and Mitchell Harrison (15th, which is one position shy of his career-best).
