The rivalry between brothers Jett and Hunter Lawrence hit a new peak during Motocross\u2019s Round 4 at High Point Raceway this weekend, with Hunter breaking his brother\u2019s recent winning streak.<\/p>\n

Though Hunter defeated his brother in both races on Saturday, Jett still narrowly holds the first place spot in overall points, just two points ahead of his brother.<\/p>\n

Overall, Hunter placed first, Jett Lawrence and new 450SX rider Haiden Deegan third with the combination of the points from both of Saturday\u2019s races.<\/p>\n

In the first Moto at High Point, Hunter claimed the hole shot, followed by Tomac\u2019s teammate Jorge Prado and Yamaha\u2019s Cooper Webb. Deegan started in fifth and Jett in 11th.<\/p>\n

Prado and Webb battled for second while RJ Hampshire and Jett , racing in fourth and fifth, moved closer to Prado. Jett passed Hampshire for fourth, while Prado passed Webb for second.<\/p>\n

Hampshire crashed as Jett passed both Webb and Prado. Jett set his sights on his brother in first while Prado worked to remain as close to Jett as possible.<\/p>\n

Jett was unable to cut into Hunter\u2019s lead, with commentators saying, \u201cNo one was close to Hunter this moto.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hunter placed first, Jett second and Prado third.<\/p>\n

In Moto 2, Hunter again claimed the hole shot, with Jett, Aaron Plessinger and Prado on his heels.<\/p>\n

Jett surged, and the brothers raced side by side. Jett attempted to pass and failed, allowing Hunter to lengthen his lead.<\/p>\n

Prado and Plessinger fought for third, with Prado successfully taking the position. Not long later, Deegan passed Plessinger and Prado, moving into third behind the Aussies.<\/p>\n

Hunter placed first, Jett second and Deegan third.<\/p>\n

The next Motocross race of the 2026 season will be held July 4 at Redbud MX in Buchanan, Michigan.<\/p>\n

There is no recent update on Eli Tomac\u2019s condition or when he is set to return to racing. Tomac\u2019s crash in Round 1 resulted in a minor neck injury, and Tomac said he would follow his doctor\u2019s advice and take some time away from racing to recuperate, with the goal of returning sometime this season.<\/p>\n
