The undulating terrain of Montgomery County’s Ironman Raceway will roar to life on Aug. 9 as it hosts Round 9 of the globally celebrated Pro Motocross Championship.
This marks the 12th consecutive year the Tucker Freight Lines Ironman National transforms this clandestine Crawfordsville landscape into motocross’ apex, attracting thousands to witness elite athletes battle for championship points and placement.
Nestled near Crawfordsville Senior High School, Ironman Raceway defies the Midwest’s flat plains with dramatic elevation shifts and natural obstacles. Its distinctive covered bridge and amphitheater-like sightlines have cemented its status among America’s premier racing venues — joining iconic Indiana circuits like Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The track’s challenging topography promises unparalleled spectator viewing and relentless rider competition.
The 2025 championship features titans like American champions Eli Tomac and Chase Sexton, Australian phenom Jett Lawrence (defending 450 Class champion), Spanish world champion Jorge Prado and YouTube sensation Haiden Deegan.
With only three rounds after Ironman, the event could prove pivotal in determining this year’s AMA National Champions.
Ticket pricing for the event is all-inclusive, with general admission priced at $73.51 for adults and $40.42 for kids aged 4 to 11. For those looking for an enhanced experience, a general admission ticket combined with a pit pass is available for $106.61 for adults and $68 for kids in the same age range.
As riders navigate Ironman’s signature obstacles, such as “The Sacrifice” and “Gravity Cavity,” spectators will witness motorsport athleticism at its zenith.
