Jason Anderson returns to competition for the SuperMotocross Playoff opener in Columbus

Jason Anderson will compete in the SuperMotocross World Championship playoffs beginning September 12 at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The rider sits 27th in the combined standings following a February withdrawal to address health and family matters. Because he is ranked between 21st and 30th, Anderson must advance through a Wild Card race to secure a starting position in the feature program. Teammate Ken Roczen, who holds the 2026 Supercross title, is also scheduled to compete as a qualified entrant. Colt Nichols, ranked 24th, joins Anderson in the Wild Card field for the event. The Twisted Tea / HEP Motorsports team plans to participate in all three rounds of the short playoff series.
