Ryan Dungey took home the ESPY Award for the Best Action Sport Athlete in last night’s 23rd annual ESPY awards that honor sporting standouts each year. The Supercross champ beat rivals such as FMX legend Josh Sheheen plus stars of skateboarding, snowboarding and snowcross racing.

“Wow! Just found out I won the ESPY! It’s a very exciting day for the sport of motocross and supercross and how far we have come to achieve this award!” said Dungey on his Instagram page. “Without a doubt wouldn’t have been possible with out my wife and family, friends, sponsors and most importantly fans. Thank you all for you support, love, and votes, and everyone who had a part in making this dream come true. So very thankful and blessed.”

In the women’s category, Women’s Trials champ, Laia Sainz, came in just behind snowboarder Kelly Clark.

At the finale of the inaugural SuperMotocross Playoffs, held at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Team Honda HRC put an exclamation point on what was already an incredibly successful season, with Jett Lawrence taking home the first-ever SuperMotocross 450 Championship and earning the $1 million prize. The squad had already swept every professional AMA Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross title that had traditionally been available, with riders Chase Sexton, Jett Lawrence and Hunter Lawrence collecting the crowns in 450SX, 250SX East, 250SX West, 450MX and 250MX. For 2023 however, organizers added the three-round SuperMotocross Playoffs, which represented an opportunity for Honda's factory race team to accumulate even more laurels.
