The only racer in the history of the sport to win his professional debut
In a year of endless doubts and obstacles, Eli Tomac took the opportunity to win his first 450SX Supercross title. In a heated encounter with defending champion Cooper Webb, Tomac scored seven dramatic finishes in the Salt Lake City bubble, which resulted in a 25-point win over Web.
Before the 2022 season, Tomac joined the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing team. This was a good move for both the rider and the brand. So far, Tomac has won seven races in the 13-state 2022 series. This puts the Yamaha rider in a tie for fourth place on the list of all-time wins.
In 2023, initially, Eli's intention was solely to participate in the Supercross section of the championship. But later on, he joined Star Yamaha and decided to compete for the entire championship.
Eli made a contract extension with Star Yamaha for the upcoming 2024 SuperMotocross Championship, committing himself to participate throughout the entire season.
