2026 Arlington Supercross Press Day | Tomac, Anderson, Craig
The 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season has started its seventh fixture in Arlington, Texas. The world-famous AT&T Stadium – home of the Dallas Cowboys – will host the first round of the 250SX East division too. Seven stars spoke to Vital MX’s Lewis Phillips ahead of track time in the ‘press day’ festivities.
Eli Tomac revealed that he has been sick in the last seven days; he picked up the ailment on Sunday yet still rode twice this week. Aaron Plessinger speaks about his rear end at length, Jason Anderson talks about his torn pants, Christian Craig chats broken fingers and Jordon Smith first gear.
Seth Hammaker and Pierce Brown preview the 250SX East division as well. Brown wears THOR gear, a loyal sponsor of these pre-race interviews.

Sounds like he just had a screaming match or he's sick
10:05 couldn’t say more, to say absolutely nothing. 🤣🤣
It must be rather annoying but part of sports to have to answer the same questions 100 times every week.
Awesome job big Lew. Excited to see more riding content. SX lap next year?
I thought AP was about to eat the mic at one point lol.
Good interviews, who you guys got for the podium in 450's?
Jump for show, turn for dough. -Eli Tomac 😁
He looks so happy and confident.
I was in Seattle and saw Ando loose his pants right in front of us, haha.
Cant wait to see the 250E guys rip!
Way to go big Lew!!!
Love Christian.
Eli is a killer on that 450 them eyes no different from Mike Tyson Eli beast mode soul takin tomac
Tomac sounds a little raspy that’s concerning
Man what's next? You gonna ask what their favorite ice-cream is? Ffs
Eli is sick
AP reminds me of Windham.
Plessinger seems like a really good soul .
53 yr old Australia
We should ban start maps
Dewddddd! Did Cole Davies crash and is he out for the weekend?
How good does it feel to to get the momentum back? Are you f’ing kidding me. Of coarse he’s going to say it’s important. Moto media nerds are a drag on this show.
I love craig’s positivity and I swear he’s always smiling !!
Lewis you have managed to grow on me and i thoroughly love the interviews. Great job!
CCraig!! It’s been a tough 450 career..cmon man. Find your inner animal, leave the wife and kids home and go on a work trip and bust it off, sell some Hondas already. Join the moto circus show
Lewis is scared of ET’s death stare
JAndo21 is the guy!! Loose and fast!! 21 podiums from here on out!!
Where’s Chase been? Haven’t seen him in a few weeks. Is he pouting?
He sounds like he's pretty sick
Do not sleep on Peirce Brown
Smith aint even 100% but who cares get that bike on the track. The risks are high. Praise these fellas.
He sounds a little horse….
Damn Eli’s take on ktm vs AP is a world of difference lol Eli feels the best he’s ever felt and AP is opposite
I love these interviews the best he really does ask some damn good questions that allows us to see the true nature of all the top guys – I’ve noticed a lot of calmness and positivity with all of them, and that is admirable
Super pumped to see Anderson happy teamed up with Roczen is a damn good recipe
What’s so Crazy to me is Who Dominate Craig was on that Star Yamaha 250 . I just wish he could drop back down and slap em around a bit – I personally think that he’s not dialed on that Honda or maybe it’s from the time off I don’t know, but I do know that he’s super talented and when he’s comfortable he dominates
AP just seems like such a likeable guy, would love to see him doing better in the series.
Tomac looking confident – like nobody has the right to win but him. I love it.
Levi Kitchen to the KX450 next year, Marchbanks to quadlock Honda, Craig will unfortunately be out of a ride
Jorden Smith looks like Buzz Lightyear. Just look at how full his lower face is and how square and bright his teeth are. Picture him in a purple hood.
Honda if anyone was wondering what tomac was referring to 😂😂
Tomcat sounds sick
all we need is craig on the line to cause crashes
No way HRC is handing over a factory gearbox for Savatgy 😂
1st gear round the track seems crazy
You can hear Matty B in the background interviewing AP7 0:45
Big Lew with the big questions… great job!!!
You accumulate data for a cumulative data set.
Tomac🙏
It's race day now and I am having issues with getting the feed. I am pretty sure noone will miss me, but I refuse to pay extra to watch the SX or MX series. Think about it promoters. Without fans where are you going?
