The excitement is revving up as the venues for the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship Playoff rounds were unveiled at the iconic Daytona International Speedway.

This season, with its unpredictable twists, leaves us anticipating a wide-open race for the front runners.
After a successful inaugural season, the SuperMotocross Playoffs are making a triumphant return. During the broadcast of the Daytona Supercross, Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart announced the three venues for the upcoming playoffs.
Round 1: zMax Dragway, Charlotte, North Carolina
The action kicks off at zMax Dragway in Charlotte, N.C., just like last year. Known for its unique combination of Supercross and Motocross elements, this track challenges riders’ adaptability. The thrilling racing and near-sellout crowd from last year set the stage for another adrenaline-pumping start to the playoffs.
