In front of a packed hometown crowd, WLTN Kawasaki’s Phil Nicoletti delivered a career-defining performance, securing second overall on the day and clinching the 2025 450 National Pro Championship, the first in team history.

Nicoletti rode with calculated purpose in both motos, protecting his slim points lead and sealing the title in dramatic fashion on Canadian motocross’ biggest stage.

"It’s hard to describe what this means to me," said Nicoletti. "I’ve had a long career, and this is a hard championship to win. I’m really happy for this entire team. We’re not the biggest operation out here, but we grew so tight down the stretch and got this done together. I’m so proud."

In the 250 class, Dylan Walsh put on a thrilling charge that had fans on their feet, storming through the pack in both motos to post 4-4 finishes for 4th overall. His aggressive style and never-quit attitude were a fitting close to a long, hard-fought season.

The combined efforts of Nicoletti, Walsh, and rookie Bobby Gravel pushed WLTN Kawasaki to third overall in the 2025 Constructors Championship, marking a significant step forward for the Walton-based program.

"This is a dream come true for our whole crew," said Melody Hodgson of WLTN Kawasaki. "To win a national championship here at home, in front of our fans, friends, and family, it’s a moment we’ll never forget. Our team fought hard all year, and this proves what we can do."
