Max Anstie lands multi-year deal at ClubMX

Max Anstie will join ClubMX for the remainder of the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship and remain with the team through 2028. The announcement came 10 days after he announced the parting of ways with Monster Energy / Yamaha Star Racing.

“We’re incredibly excited to welcome Max to ClubMX,” said Brandon Haas, Owner of ClubMX in a news release. “I’ve always respected the way Max carries himself. He’s a true professional and represents himself exactly the way you’d want someone to represent your organization. He’s the kind of person who naturally raises the level of everyone around him, and I honestly don’t believe we’ve seen the best version of Max yet.”

The deal includes the 2026 SMX Playoffs. Anstie is currently 44 points above the cutoff line of 21st in combined Monster Energy Supercross and Pro Motocross points. He has not raced in the outdoor series since a crash in the first moto at Fox Raceway in the season opener.

If he falls out of the top 20 in combined points, Anstie will be guaranteed a spot in the Last Chance Qualifiers for the three playoff rounds after winning the first race of the Supercross 250 West division at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.

Anstie’s role at ClubMX will be more than simply as a rider. Considering the youth of the majority of the team’s riders, Anstie will provide mentorship.

“Our younger riders now have the opportunity to learn from someone who has competed and won at the highest levels of our sport,” Haas continued. “Max brings experience, professionalism, and leadership that can’t be taught. He’ll help raise the standard of our entire program, both on and off the track, simply through the way he prepares, competes, and conducts himself every day.”
