It was another stellar setting as the 50th Anniversary of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, reached its halfway point with the sixth round of the season in the legendary sands of The Wick 338. The MB Tractor & Equipment Southwick National was destined to be one of the summer’s biggest tests and it lived up to expectation with a grueling afternoon of motos.

The recent hot streak by Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing’s Eli Tomac continued with what was arguably the multi-time champion’s most impressive performance to date in the 2022 season. Tomac was forced to come from behind in each 450 Class moto and showed his prowess in the sand with a dominant 1-1 effort that saw his moto win streak extend to five en route to a third consecutive overall victory that cemented his status as the hottest rider in American motocross.
