National Number Tracker

time stamp?

I think it was just inside the last hour, not 100% sure though.

I’d have to go back and listen again but I thought he was inferring that one of the Lawrence brothers wanted 4?

Thanks! Love that show but i didn’t want to sit through a 5 hour podcast 😂😂

I might be dense. I didn't hear any mention of that in the PulpMX show with Savatgy.

3:07:10 they are discussing availability of permanent numbers.

Sounds like Sexton gets first choice of a single digit based on 450 SX champ, sounds like he taking 4, Jett gets next choice if he decides to take a single digit than Hunter.

I'm guessing either Hunter or Sexton since Jett kept 18 after winning 250 outdoors.

I'd personally like to see 4, 5 & 8 get taken. Jett could opt for the #8 a callback to the #18, Sexton gets #4, & Hunter picks #5 - no real plus for Hunter since he has no thing for the #5 minus it being the last available single digit. would be pretty cool to see all those out on the track at the same time.

2 - Cooper Webb

3 - Eli Tomac

4 - Chase Sexton 

5 - Hunter Lawrence

6 - Jeremy Martin

7 - Aaron Plessinger 

8 - Jett Lawrence 

9 - Adam Cianciarulo 

Just a guess, but maybe Hunter for #4, so he can use it in his new "brand" HUNTA as HUNT4?

I would love to see Jett with a big number 5 on that Honda. RJ vibes. 

I have a pretty obvious bias against career numbers, but I would hate to see Chase move on from #23, one of the very few riders where the career number just makes sense to me.

Hunter #4 And Jett #5 would be pretty cool.

I wonder if Keefer got the news on someone taking the #4 from the same source that told him the 2024 Suzuki's would have e-start?

I hadn't thought about that, I loved his Jordan style jerseys but it won't match with the KTM well.

if Jett, Hunter & Sexton all opt for single digit numbers  - are their numbers immediately available? I.E. - would that make the national numbers ALL change based off them picking a single digit? 

Yes.  In 2020 when Adam Cianciarulo switched his career number from 92 to 9, the 92 got assigned to Austin Politelli.

I think it’s a done deal that Chase is taking it. Haven’t heard anything about the Lawrences changing their numbers though. 

- Zach Osborne will lose 16, Chad Reed will lose 22, Alex Martin will lose 26 and Broc Tickle will lose 20 for 2024.

- It sounds like Chase Sexton will move to a single digit #4 next year when he debuts on the KTM (and Jett and Hunter both say they’re keeping their current #18 and #96).

-New permanent numbers will be Levi Kitchen and Haiden Deegan. We expect Deegan to take #38 and Kitchen has expressed interest in #10 but Justin Brayton is going to hang on to that so we're hearing #47 will be his pick for 2024 but maybe #20?

They changed the rule so Reed, Osborne, and Tickle can't have their numbers held for another year. Brayton can request 10.

Hope Kitchen goes for 47. 

JB is holding 10 in hopes that Mcadoo earns a career number next year and takes it. Levi is allegedly going to take 47, then will switch to 10 the following year if it becomes available and Cameron doesn’t get it. 

Damn, Fast Freddie finished well enough to earn 22? Good for him. 

last column has Chase at 4 & 23?

If you change your last column and remove Chase from 23, and move everyone up 1. You got it. 

You forgot Hunter #96 on the last column, just fyi

Also it's wild how Freddie Noren is one of the top points scorers just by being consistently mid pack in every race. I doubt he sniffed the top 5 at any point of any moto. The best ability is availability!

Good, I think it's ridiculous that Reed held his number for 3 years without racing. From what I heard, he was petitioning to keep it again for '24. Dude needs to let it go. You had a great career, enjoy the next stage of your life.

SMX points will not count towards 2024 numbers. So you will have to do the list again, with removing SMX points. 
 

This changed on Friday.
