“John Tomac Declares: ‘Eli Is the Greatest Racer in History’ — Backs His Son to Win Big at the AMA Pro Motocross Opener at Fox Raceway”
John Tomac knows greatness. A legend in his own right — a pioneer of mountain biking and a fierce competitor on the motocross circuit — John has seen elite athletes come and go. But to him, no one compares to his son, Eli Tomac.
As the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship roars to life on May 24 at Fox Raceway in California, John Tomac is boldly predicting a dominant performance from Eli, not just at the opener but across the entire season. And he isn’t shy about how he sees his son’s place in history.
“Eli is the greatest racer ever. Not just in this generation — in the history of the sport,” John said confidently in a recent interview. “The grit, the comeback from injuries, the titles, the way he pushes the limits — no one else has done it like him.”
Eli Tomac, now fully recovered from a broken fibula suffered during the 2025 Supercross season, is entering the outdoor series with renewed focus and more preparation than ever before. John says the injury, while unfortunate, became a hidden blessing.
“He’s had the chance to train like never before. This is the strongest, most prepared version of Eli I’ve ever seen. I have no doubt he’s going to win at Fox Raceway. And once he gets rolling, the rest of the field better be ready.”
John’s faith in Eli is more than just a father’s belief — it’s backed by decades of experience in racing, training, and watching champions rise and fall. To him, Eli represents the pinnacle of what the sport demands: speed, resilience, and fearlessness.
“He’s already changed the sport. He’s inspired a generation of riders,” John said. “But what’s crazy is… he’s not done yet. There’s still more greatness to come, and it starts on May 24.”
With stars like Jett Lawrence, Jorge Prado, and Hunter Lawrence lining up at the gate, the competition will be fierce — but for John Tomac, there’s no question who will come out on top.
“The gate will drop, the dirt will fly, and when the checkered flag waves, Eli will be standing where he belongs — at the top.”
The stage is set. Fox Raceway awaits. And in the eyes of one of the sport’s most respected voices, history is ready to be made again — by Eli Tomac.
