Ironman brought the 250 championship to a dramatic finish, and it did not take long for the title picture to completely change. Julien Beaumer grabbed the holeshot in moto one, but Chance Hymas quickly moved into the lead and began setting the pace. Hymas eventually tipped over in a corner, handing the lead back to Beaumer, while Cole Davies settled into a strong position near the front. The biggest moment of the championship came behind them, where Levi Kitchen was buried deep in the field off the start and then crashed hard while trying to work his way forward. Kitchen eventually got his bike running again, but the damage was too much and he pulled off the track, effectively ending his championship hopes. Davies went on to finish third, which was enough to clinch the 2026 250 Pro Motocross Championship with one moto still remaining. Up front, Hymas recovered from his mistake, caught Beaumer in the closing laps and made the pass back into the lead to take the moto win. Moto two delivered another strong battle as Landen Gordon started out front before Davies quickly took over the lead. Hymas crashed twice in the opening laps and once again had to charge through the field, while Beaumer steadily worked his way toward Davies. Beaumer eventually caught and passed Davies for the lead, and Hymas completed another impressive comeback by climbing all the way into second with three laps remaining. Beaumer held on for the moto win and took the Ironman overall with 2-1 scores, Hymas finished second overall with 1-2 finishes, and Ryder DiFrancesco completed the podium with a 7-3 day. Davies finished seventh overall with 3-13 scores, but the biggest result of the afternoon was already secured as he left Ironman as the 2026 250 Pro Motocross Champion.

The 450 championship came down to the final laps of the final moto, and Ironman delivered plenty of chaos along the way. Jorge Prado won moto one after an early incident completely changed the championship battle. Haiden Deegan moved into the lead off the start but went down just a few corners later and collected Hunter Lawrence in the process. Hunter restarted at the back of the field, while Jett Lawrence was also struggling to find his normal pace. Hunter quickly began working his way forward and eventually caught and passed Jett despite starting behind the entire field. Prado controlled the race out front and took the win ahead of R.J. Hampshire and Cooper Webb, while Hunter recovered all the way to eighth. Jett finished 11th, giving Hunter a little more breathing room heading into the final moto. In moto two, Prado once again grabbed the holeshot with Hunter, Jett and Deegan close behind. Deegan moved past Jett and then capitalized on a small mistake from Hunter to take over second, leaving the Lawrence brothers to battle directly for the championship. Jett eventually made the pass on Hunter, but the positions still left Hunter with enough points to hold the championship lead. Jett continued pushing and Hunter refused to let him escape, with both riders beginning to close back in on Deegan as the laps wound down. In the end, Hunter did exactly what he needed to do. After entering Ironman with only a one-point advantage, surviving a first-moto crash and then battling his brother throughout the final race of the season, Hunter Lawrence held on to become the 2026 450 Pro Motocross Champion.
