The 2025 Supercross season witnessed a dramatic start with riders Braden Spangle and Wyatt Mattson receiving suspensions after an on-track altercation during the third 250 race. The incident unfolded during qualifying at Anaheim's Angels Stadium when Spangle and Mattson collided mid-air. The ensuing brawl on the track nearly resulted in a collision with fellow rider Anthony Castaneda and other approaching racers. Supercross officials intervened to ensure the safety of the other riders as they separated the entangled racers. Both Spangle and Mattson were subsequently suspended from the race.
Prior to this incident, both riders had struggled in earlier races. Neither qualified for the heats in San Diego, and only Spangle made it to the heats during the season's opening race in Anaheim, ultimately failing to qualify for the main event.
