Oldenburg Holeshot and Wild Card Win, Bloss Rides Strong
At round two of the 2025 SMX Playoffs in St. Louis, Beta teammates Mitchell Oldenburg and Benny Bloss both put in determined rides in the 450 class. Oldenburg impressed early, grabbing the holeshot and leading wire-to-wire in the Wild Card, including the fastest lap time. Oldenburg finished 12th in the first moto, but in the second moto, he hit a rock on the track that threw him into the tough blocks, resulting in a 19th overall finish. Bloss delivered the stronger main-event result, finishing 12th overall after consistent rides in both motos. With that finish, Bloss keeps himself in the hunt for a spot inside the top ten of the SMX standings. The SMX Playoffs wrap up this weekend in Las Vegas with the season finale. |
