Carbon Emery MX Launches Inaugural Motocross Series in Price

Motocross roared to life in Carbon County as Carbon Emery MX (CEMX) hosted its first-ever race on Saturday, May 17, at the local motocross track in Price. The event marked the beginning of a brand-new race series aimed at promoting grassroots motocross in rural Utah communities.

The race drew a strong turnout with 246 entries from across Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho. Racers of all ages and skill levels participated in a full day of action-packed events, with several nationally recognized riders making an appearance.

Among the highlights were Bracken Hall, who has competed in American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) Supercross, and William Jones, a standout in the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Championship. Hall dominated the event, taking first place in multiple pro classes and winning the Open Pro division, 450A class and the Dash 4 Cash. Jones earned the top spot in the 250A class.

The event was as much about family and community as it was about competition. CEMX placed special emphasis on supporting youth riders, offering prizes and recognition for hole shot awards in beginner categories. Winners included:

• 50cc Beginner: Easton Smith (Orem)

• 65cc Beginner: Kyezer Wells

• 85cc Beginner: Adam Wilkinson

• 85cc Open: David Guzzo (Loma, Colorado)

R&R Motorsports of Vernal, Utah, added to the excitement by donating a pair of Alpinestars Tech 10 boots—valued at $650—which were awarded to Hall for his first-place finish in the Open Pro class.

The event was sponsored in part by Rocky Mountain ATV/MC (Helper, UT) and R&R Motorsports. CEMX also announced a new partnership with Rocky Mountain ATV/MC that offers race participants Race Gas credits to help offset the cost of fuel and gear.

CEMX’s mission is to provide affordable, family-oriented motocross events that promote local pride and youth participation in small-town communities across Utah. Their vision is to build a strong foundation for motocross in rural areas by uniting families and fueling tourism through exciting, well-organized events.

“We want to deliver something special—something that gives kids and families a reason to get excited about motocross, right here in their own backyard,” a CEMX spokesperson said.
