Ricky Carmichael Thinks Eli Tomac Can Break His Daytona SX Record at the 55th Annual Daytona Supercross
As the 55th Annual Daytona Supercross approaches, Ricky Carmichael, widely regarded as the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) in motocross, is confident that Eli Tomac has what it takes to break his record. Scheduled for March 1, 2025, at the iconic Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, the race promises to be an intense battle between two of the sport’s most celebrated riders. With Carmichael holding the record for seven Daytona Supercross wins, Tomac is aiming to close the gap, having already secured four victories at this prestigious event.
Carmichael, who has long been synonymous with success at Daytona, is not just a spectator in this upcoming contest. For the 15th consecutive year, Carmichael has designed the course at Daytona, the track that will challenge Tomac and all riders vying for glory.
“I want to see him do it. I love seeing history being made, and he deserves it,” Carmichael said, referring to Tomac’s potential to surpass his record. “I think he’s the one to beat my record. His style fits this track. He is a fantastic rider and a great ambassador of our sport.”
Carmichael’s admiration for Tomac goes beyond his impressive riding skills. “He has great core values and comes from a great racing family. He is someone for our youth
Daytona Supercross is not just another race on the calendar. It stands as one of the most grueling challenges in the sport. “In our sport, there is no one win you want to get more than Daytona Supercross. The reason is it’s just simply Daytona, plus it’s the most physical, mental, and toughest a rider faces each season,” said Carmichael. “Hands down, it’s Daytona. And, for me, I have lived in Florida all my life and it makes it that much more special.”
For Eli Tomac, whose passion and ability have already made him one of the sport’s greats, a win at Daytona would be yet another milestone in a stellar career. However, breaking Carmichael’s record would solidify his place in history even further. With a 3-win difference separating the two, Tomac has his sights set on surpassing the legendary seven wins that Carmichael achieved during his iconic career.
As the 55th Annual Daytona Supercross approaches, all eyes will be on Eli Tomac as he fights for a record-breaking fifth victory at this legendary event. Will he be able to overcome the challenge and make history? Fans and fellow riders alike will be eagerly watching to see if Tomac can match or surpass the GOAT’s Daytona legacy.
The 2025 Daytona Supercross is shaping up to be a must-watch event, and whether or not Tomac breaks Carmichael’s record, the spectacle of two of the sport’s greatest names battling it out at Daytona is sure to be one for the ages.
