Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship Highlights:
Honda Fox Raceway I National

Statement Effort by the Red Riders Headlines 50th Anniversary Opener

HONDA FOX RACEWAY I NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
The anticipated start of the 50th Anniversary of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, lived up to the excitement surrounding this landmark summer season. On an afternoon in which the manufacturer served as title sponsor of the Honda Fox Raceway I National, the “Red Riders” made a major statement in one of the most dominant efforts by a single team in series history, as Team Honda HRC riders finished 1-2 in both classes.
450 Class
Both motos of the 450 Class saw the Honda duo of Chase Sexton and Ken Roczen duke it out for victory, with the German veteran controlling the first half of each race before his up-and-coming teammate came on strong in the closing stages to seize control and secure the first 1-1 performance of his young career. It marked the third career win for Sexton and his second at Fox Raceway.

250 Class
The first step of Jett Lawrence’s title defense in the 250 Class couldn’t have started any better. The young Australian was the class of the field all afternoon and took full advantage of a pair of strong starts to take an early lead and control both races with ease. The performance extended Lawrence’s undefeated streak at Fox Raceway, where he’s now won four times, and was made even more memorable thanks to a runner-up effort by Hunter Lawrence to give the siblings their first 1-2 result.
