Supercross legend coming to Redcliffe

Two-time World Supercross Champion Chad Reed will return to support the 2024 Fox Australian Championship as an ambassador, when it comes to Redcliffe in October.

The Australian supercross legend will be joined by his family in Redcliffe, including 14-year-old son Tate, who will compete in all five championship rounds.

The competition is at Redcliffe’s Kayo Stadium on October 12 and 13. For more details, visit the website

The father-son duo will bring their on-track dynamic to life, with Chad coaching Tate, in what he sees as a unique junior racing series found only in Australia.

The Reeds' involvement reflects the Championship's progression and the sport's growing presence in Australia, as well as the broader momentum within the supercross community.

“I’m stoked to be involved again with the Australian Supercross Championship,” Chad says.

“Racing in Australia will always be close to my heart and it's awesome to see supercross booming here again.

“Jumping from three to five rounds, sell-out crowds, the strength of the CR22 Cup/85cc class and innovation with partnerships like Supercars for the Adelaide round is pushing the sport to new levels and it’s being noticed.

“The return of the AUSX Open with guys like Jett, Hunter, and Cooper competing is massive. It’s always been a special one for me, I’ve competed several times, won in 2016 and the 2019 event was my last professional race in Australia.

“It's an exciting time for supercross in Australia, so the family is stoked to be getting around the series this season.”

Tate Reed will continue to build on his own racing career riding in all five rounds of the championship in the 85cc class, after making his supercross debut at Newcastle last year with his famous dad by his side.

“After riding two rounds in Australia last year, we’ve had a big 2024 motocross season in the US where Tate participated in multiple events and gained more experience,” Chad says.

As an ambassador, Reed will be involved in a once-in-a-lifetime competition for ticket purchasers at the Redcliffe rounds, launching on Tuesday, September 10.

In a salute to the famous 22 race number, 22 attendees will have the chance to not only meet the Australian supercross legend but win the ultimate trackside experience ay Kayo Stadium.

The lucky winners will have their tickets upgraded, receive signed merchandise, guided track access for the 450 main event as well as access to the podium to view the post-race trophy presentation alongside Chad Reed.
