STAMFORD, Conn. – The 2022 Monster Energy Supercross World Championship is presented by NBC Sports from Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah, this Saturday live in primetime on CNBC and Peacock. NBC Sports’ Todd Harris and 450SX Class rider Adam Cianciarulo will anchor a special 30-minute pre-race show featuring opening ceremonies and rider introductions at 7:30 p.m. ET, leading into race coverage beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
Eli Tomac won the 450SX Class title and became the oldest champion at age 29 in the sport’s history last week in Denver. Tomac is not expected to race this weekend. The final championship of the season will be decided Saturday in the 250SX Class Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown with Christian Craig and Hunter Lawrence vying for the Western Regional 250SX Class championship. Craig currently sits atop the standings with an 18-point advantage and will win his first career Supercross title with a 14th-place finish or better.
