The Reeds Return For The 2024 Fox Australian Supercross Championship

The Australian supercross legend will be joined by his family, including 14-year-old son Tate, who will compete in all five championship rounds. The father-son duo will bring their on-track dynamic to life, with Chad coaching Tate, in what he sees as a unique junior racing series found only in Australia.
The Reeds’ involvement reflects the Championship’s progression and the sport’s growing presence in Australia, as well as the broader momentum within the supercross community.
“I’m stoked to be involved again with the Australian Supercross Championship,” said Reed.
“Racing in Australia will always be close to my heart and it’s awesome to see supercross booming here again. Jumping from three to five rounds, sell-out crowds, the strength of the CR22 Cup/85cc classand innovation with partnerships like Supercars for the Adelaide round is pushing the sport to new levels and it’s being noticed.
“The return of the AUSX Open with guys like Jett, Hunter, and Cooper competing is massive. It’s always been a special one for me, I’ve competed several times, won in 2016 and the 2019 event was my last professional race in Australia.
“It’s an exciting time for supercross in Australia, so the family is stoked to be getting around the series this season.”
Tate Reed will continue to build on his own racing career riding in all five rounds of the championship in the 85cc class, after making his supercross debut at Newcastle last year with his famous Dad by his side.
“After riding two rounds in Australia last year, we’ve had a big 2024 motocross season in the US where Tate participated in multiple events and gained more experience,” said Chad Reed.
“The Australian series is unique to anywhere else in the world as they offer young riders in the 85cc & SX3 classes the chance to be part of an elite domestic series, it’s a great opportunity for him.
