MXA FANTASY LEAGUE: THE WINNER OF THE CHARLOTTE SMX PLAYOFF SCORED 348 POINTS

It was an interesting day for the first round of the SMX Playoffs in Charlotte. Everything seemed to be proceeding well as both the 250 and 450 classes had made it through the first motos. In the 250 class, Haiden Deegan had a come-from-behind win where he started seventh and worked his way into the lead in just the final laps of the race. In the 450 class, Jett Lawrence led from start to finish as the weather began to turn at the end of the moto. Within just a few minutes post 450 moto one, it started to pour down rain, and the stadium was evacuated due to lightning in the area. This weather would persist for a few hours and ultimately cause the race to be cancelled, and the results from Moto One would stand.

THE WINNER OF THE CHARLOTTE SMX FANTASY LEAGUE  “DREWSER52”

Drewser52 had the best picks for the second time and is the winner of the 2025 Charlotte SMX round one. He actually picked perfectly, which we had to do a deeper dive into to make sure everything followed protocol and it was legit. We looked into the time stamps of when picks were entered, if they were ever updated or changed, and everything checked out. Truly one of the best rounds seen so far.
