Round 4 of the SuperMotocross World Championship brought a demanding Triple Crown format to Houston, alongside the SMX Next program, delivering another intense night of racing for the ISRT Kawasaki team. With a deep field and close battles from qualifying through the main events, the Houston round tested consistency, resilience, and determination.
Vince Friese delivered a solid performance on the night, qualifying 16th and earning a direct transfer into the 450SX main event. Friese battled through a stacked field and challenging track conditions to finish P19, continuing to push forward and gain valuable points and experience as the season progresses.
Max Miller faced a tough road after qualifying 27th and lining up for the Last Chance Qualifier. Miller charged hard in the LCQ and put together a determined ride, finishing P9 and narrowly missing a transfer to the main event.
Tristan Dalton showed impressive pace throughout the day, qualifying 19th and backing it up with a P13 finish in the main event. Houston marked Dalton’s first Supercross main event experience and his first race back following a serious back injury in 2025 that sidelined him for eight months. His consistent and composed ride highlighted both his progress and determination in his return to
competition.
Another night of tough racing, steady progress, and valuable experience for the ISRT Kawasaki squad as the team continues to build momentum each weekend. The team now shifts focus to Round 5 in Glendale, Arizona, looking to carry forward the positives from Houston.
