KENNESAW, Ga., Aug 29, 2017 / The first weekend of January until the last weekend in August – that’s race season for US professional motocross racers who race both the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship Series and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship Series, for a total of 29 races between the two series. August 26, 2017 concluded the regularly scheduled race season for 2017 with the final race taking place in Crawfordsville, Indiana at Ironman Raceway. Although the newest race to join the series, having opened in 2014, it’s the perfect way to end a summer of “The Great Outdoors”. In only four short seasons, Ironman Raceway has quickly jumped to the top of the list of many teams and riders thanks to its impeccably maintained facility, ideal dirt conditions, and a fast and technical racetrack. This year was no exception as the tacky dirt and perfect weather gave way to a very fast and multi-lined track that made for great battles in all four Motos of the day.
For Round 12 of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship Series, MicroBilt PRBC Yoshimura Suzuki once again had one rider to represent each class of racing – Ronnie Stewart racing the RM-Z450 and Cheyenne Harmon piloting the RM-Z250. Based on the obviously greuling nature of racing a dirt bike at the professional level, it’s rare that many riders on the circuit are able to compete in all 29 races on the circuit due to the inherent risk of injury. Concluding the season with two healthy riders and representation in both classes is something some teams only dream of, but have a difficult time accomplishing. MicroBilt PRBC Yoshimura Suzuki is proud to not only finish out the season with healthy riders, but also to be the team backing one of the chosen few who managed to race every single one of the 29 races in the regularly scheduled season, and that’s the #606 of Ronnie Stewart.
When the gate dropped on Moto 1 for the 250 class, the #645 of Cheyenne Harmon got shuffled near the back of the pack and began the battle for the entire 30 minute + 2 lap Moto. Even though the 250 class champion had been crowned during the penultimate round of the series, the 250 class was equally as competitive during the final round of racing. For Cheyenne, this was only his second round racing aboard his RM-Z250, but has adjusted to the bike and racing the new group of competitors. Cheyenne would decisively work his way through the pack to finish Moto 1 in 28th. Ronnie Stewart has been able to consistently get a good jump off the gate throughout the season, which has helped avoid the first-turn pileups that often occur when 40 riders get bottlenecked from the start straight down to a much slimmer track. He was scored in 21st off the start in Moto 1 and finished the Moto in 23rd. Not only was this the final round of racing for these riders, but in the 450 class, we also saw the addition of multi-time world champion, Jeffrey Herlings – a rider who would surely be an interesting addition to the already competitive field of 450 riders.

ELLENTON, Fla., (August 31, 2017) - Feld Entertainment® announced today the second season of the Supercross Video Pass will be available on September 1 and features significantly more Monster Energy Supercross content for fans outside of the U.S. and Canada, including an unprecedented amount of live and archived racing. In total, fans will have access to 240 hours of Supercross content that can be experienced on any type of connected device.
Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, is the most competitive and high profile off-road motorcycle racing series in the world and attracts nearly one million fans in live attendance over the course of the 17-race season. Its digital fan base boasts an even more impressive number, engaging with 10 million weekly viewers from all over the world.
"Supercross riders are some of the most elite athletes in the world. The excitement of motorcycle racing, the innovative track designs and the global representation of Supercross racers takes this sport beyond the borders of North America," said Vicki Silver, Chief Marketing Officer of Feld Entertainment.
The Supercross Video Pass will provide access to all 17 rounds of the 3-hour Monster Energy Supercross television broadcast (2018), every race from the last three seasons (2015-2017), plus the 2015 and 2016 Monster Energy Cup races and an additional library of original content.
According to research conducted by Hookit, the leading social and digital media measurement company, Supercross fans are among the most engaged consumers online, ranking the sport in the top-20 of global properties. The list includes the NBA, NFL, MLB, English Premier League Soccer, U.S. Soccer and the FIFA World Cup, impressively positioning Supercross higher than the ATP and PGA Tours.

The Hookit research also shows that Supercross is the number one motorsport domestically and ranks in the top-10 of all U.S. and Canadian based teams and leagues, showing significantly stronger online engagement than powerhouse properties like NASCAR, MLS and the PGA Tour.

WILSON FINISHES 10TH AND EARNS 4TH OVERALL IN 450 CHAMPIONSHIP
The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team finished up an impressive AMA Pro Motocross season on Saturday at the Ironman National in Crawfordsville, IN by claiming another overall victory in the 250 class. 250 rider Zach Osborne has already won the championship, but he put the cherry on top by going 1-1 to earn the final 250 overall victory of the season. Teammate Dean Wilson battled the flu all day but conquered his goal of finishing a strong season. He went 12-10 for 10th overall.
Zach Osborne was second at the start of the first 250 moto and came out of the first lap in third. He navigated his Husqvarna FC 250 back into second the following lap and was within striking distance of the leader. He stayed on the charge for nearly 20 minutes before getting it done with an inside pass for the lead on the ninth lap. Not backing off the pace, he stayed in control and claimed the first moto victory of the day. He was top-three at the start of the second moto and immediately started battling for the lead. He was second at the end of the first lap and was right on the heels of the leader. After stalking the leader for over a lap, he made an impressive inside pass right after the finish line to overtake the lead. He held strong to the finish to go 1-1 and earn his fifth overall win to end his championship-winning season on a victorious note.
“It was a dream ending to a dream season,” said Osborne. “To go 1-1 here today was super special. I finally figured out some things with my starts this week and was able to make it easier for myself. It was a really good day and I’m happy with this ending to the season. I’m looking forward to the Motocross Of Nations and it’s a true honor to represent the USA as the team captain."
Dean Wilson, battling the flu, was mid-pack at the start of the first 450 moto and ended the first lap in 16th. He made his way up to 13th by the third lap and continued to charge, making one more pass to finish 12th by moto’s end. He was top-five at the start of the second moto, but fell back to 12th by the third lap after a mistake. Never one to quit, he continued to dig deep to get to 10th by the finish. The 12-10 scores gave him 10th overall on the day, and finished the season an impressive 4th in 450 rider point standings.
“I came into the day pretty under the weather and sick,” said Wilson. “I didn’t have any energy and felt really depleted, which made it one of the hardest races I’ve ever done. I still got fourth overall in points, and I’m looking forward to having a great off-season and coming back strong. My goal was 29 races, and I did that. I definitely want to step my speed up. Right now I’m going to focus on getting some rest so I can have a great Motocross Of Nations."

Tomac Crowned Lucas Oil Pro Motocross 450 Class Championat Season-Ending Ironman NationalHerlings Claims 450 Class Victory; Osborne Caps Off Season with 250 Class Win
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. (August 26, 2017) - The 2017 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, came to a dramatic conclusion on Saturday afternoon at the Christi Hubler Chevrolet Ironman National. After entering the final round of the summer needing just 22 points in order to clinch the 450 Class title, Monster Energy Kawasaki's Eli Tomac did just that, overcoming adversity in both motos to come away with the most prestigious championship in the sport and hoist the Edison Dye Cup.
In the battle for victory on the track, Team Red Bull KTM's Jeffrey Herlings made the most of his visit to the U.S., showcasing his prowess en route to the 450 Class victory in his Pro Motocross debut, sweeping the afternoon's motos. In the 250 Class, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Zach Osborne cemented his championship-winning season with a dominant outing, going 1-1 for his series-leading fifth win.
Tomac became the 24th different 450 Class Champion in Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship history.

As the 450 Class field stormed out of the gate to start its opening moto, Tomac put his Kawasaki at the front of the field by grabbing his first Motosport.com Holeshot the season just ahead of his main championship rivals, RMATV/MC-WPS-KTM's Blake Baggett and Team Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Marvin Musquin. However, it was Herlings who stormed by Tomac and into the lead for the first time ever. Despite losing the top spot, Tomac's second place position would have been enough to clinch the title in the first moto, but he was determined to get back out front.
As Tomac attempted to challenge Herlings for the lead on Lap 1, he over-jumped an obstacle and crashed, dropping to sixth place, while Musquin moved into second and Baggett into third. Herlings, who currently sits second in the FIM MXGP Championship, took advantage of Tomac's misfortune to establish an early lead, but Musquin refused to quit. After facing a deficit of more than three seconds, Musquin started to chip away at Herlings' lead just past the halfway point. The Frenchman posted the fastest lap times of the moto to pull alongside his European counterpart, but a couple of small bobbles hindered his ability to attempt a pass on Herlings, who soon pulled away for good.
Herlings went unchallenged in the closing stages of the race to earn a moto win in his first attempt, crossing the line eight seconds ahead of Musquin, while Baggett followed in a distant third. Team Honda HRC's Cole Seely was fourth, one spot ahead of Tomac, which ultimately left the Kawasaki rider a single point shy of clinching the title.
Herlings made a statement in his Pro Motocross debut, sweeping the 450 Class motos.

The pressure-filled final 450 Class moto saw Baggett emerge with the Motosports.com Holeshot, just ahead of Musquin and Seely. Herlings encountered misfortune and went down in the opening corners and was forced to start at the tail end of the field, while Tomac experienced difficulty jockeying for position and started outside the top 10.
Seely made an early challenge on Musquin for second, but the Frenchman withstood it and set his sights on Baggett. It didn't take long for Musquin to seize control of the moto, moving past Baggett and immediately pulling away. From there, the top three settled into their respective positions.
Behind the lead group, both Tomac and Herlings were fighting their way through the field, each breaking into the top 10 on Lap 2. Herlings was on an impressive march forward, passing Tomac for ninth on Lap 3 and then breaking into the top five on Lap 5. His charge wasn't done yet, as he eventually passed Seely for third on Lap 7. Herlings continued to post the fastest laps on the track, which allowed him to close in on Baggett in the waning laps. He made quick work of his fellow KTM rider and took over second on Lap 13, but still faced a deficit of nearly 10 seconds to Musquin.
While the Dutchman chased the overall victory, Tomac was content to manage points and ensure the title would be his, regardless of what his rivals did. He patiently worked his way forward, taking advantage of opportunities as they came, and soon settled into sixth place.
On Lap 14, the complexion of the moto changed dramatically when Musquin made an uncharacteristic mistake and crashed out of the lead. As he picked up his bike to reenter the track, Herlings stormed past into the lead. Musquin desperately gave chase, but with just two laps remaining the late mistake was too costly.
Herlings capped off a 1-1 sweep in his debut race by crossing the finish line 2.6 seconds ahead of Musquin. Baggett finished third.
A crash late in Moto 2 forced Musquin to settle for second overall.
- MX Sports Pro Racing / Jeff Kardas
Herlings became the 68th different overall winner in 450 Class history and is just the second Dutch rider to earn a Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship victory, joining Pierre Karsmakers. He's the fourth different rider to break through with his first career win this season, along with Musquin, Baggett, and Justin Bogle.
"I was fastest all day, from practice to the first moto and the second moto," said Herlings. "I was so mad at myself for crashing in the second moto, so I just kept charging the entire time. I kind of got lucky that Marvin [Musquin] crashed there at the end, but it doesn't matter, I got a 1-1 and proved I was the best today."
Musquin settled for second overall (2-2), while Baggett completed KTM's first 1-2-3 sweep of the season in third (3-3).
Tomac's sixth-place finish in the second moto, and sixth overall (5-6), was enough to clinch his first career premier class title, making him the 24th different 450 Class Champion in history. He also becomes the just the 11th rider in history to win a national title in both the 250 Class and 450 Class.
"That was not easy at all. I went back after the first moto and thought ‘is it really going like this?' I think I let my ego get the best of me in the first moto and needed to take it all in before the second moto," said Tomac. "We went out there and did what we needed to do. This [championship] has been a long time coming and it feels amazing to finally accomplish it. I'm kind of at a loss for words right now."
Tomac finished the season with a 17-point lead over Musquin, who moved from third to second, in the final championship standings. Baggett was just an additional two points back in third.
Baggett (4) rode to a solid third-place finish on the heels of 3-3 scores.
- MX Sports Pro Racing / Jeff Kardas
The first 250 Class moto saw GEICO Honda's Jeremy Martin take the Motosport.com Holeshot ahead of Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Zach Osborne and Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Adam Cianciarulo. While Martin pushed the pace out front on the opening lap, Cianciarulo was able to make his way around Osborne for second and set his sights on the lead. Cianciarulo's early surge put him alongside Martin at the conclusion of Lap 1 and as they entered the final corner side-by-side, the pair made contact, which sent Martin to the ground. Cianciarulo continued with the lead, while Martin was forced to pick up his bike and remount in 12th place. Osborne slotted into second, while Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM rookie Sean Cantrell moved into third.
Cianciarulo and Osborne were able to open up a comfortable gap over the field, but Cantrell battled fellow rookie Chase Sexton for third, with the GEICO Honda rider getting the upper hand on Lap 2. Out front, Osborne was persistent in his pursuit of Cianciarulo, using an alternate line through virtually every turn on the track, and at the start of Lap 9 that determination paid off as Osborne dove to the inside of the Kawasaki and seized control of the moto. Cianciarulo attempted to mount a counter-attack, but Osborne withstood the pressure and started to pull away.
Another battle for third started to unfold in the closing stages of the moto between Sexton and Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha's Colt Nichols. Sexton successfully fended off the initial challenge, chasing his first podium result, but saw his hopes of a career-best outing evaporate when he collided with a lapped rider, giving third to Nichols.
Osborne continued to extend his lead and moved out to a double-digit advantage before taking his ninth moto win of the season, 9.1 seconds ahead of Cianciarulo. Nichols posted his first career podium finish in third. Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha's Aaron Plessinger was fourth, with his teammate Mitchell Harrison in fifth.
Osborne cemented his championship-winning season with a dominant 1-1 effort for his fifth win of the season.
- MX Sports Pro Racing / Andrew Fredrickson
The start of the second 250 Class moto saw Cianciarulo put his Kawasaki out front with the Motosport.com Holeshot, but Osborne quickly challenged him. The newly crowned champion attempted to make a pass for the lead, but Cianciarulo shut the door, which allowed Martin to pass into second. Osborne reclaimed the spot from Martin a short time later and brought Plessinger with him into third. Osborne's momentum brought him back onto Cianciarulo's rear fender, and he successfully took the lead on Lap 1. Cianciarulo then came under fire from Plessinger and lost his hold second, only to have Plessinger give the position back on the next lap after a crash took him out of the race. Plessinger's misfortune moved Martin into third, while Nichols continued his career-best effort to challenge from fourth.
With a clear track, combined with the battles going on behind him, Osborne opened a gap of nearly seven seconds after just three laps, which he continued to build on past the 10-second mark. Cianciarulo was able to assert himself into second, leaving the battle for third to continue between Martin and Nichols. While the lead duo stabilized their positions on the track, Nichols picked up his pace in the late stages of the moto and made the pass on Martin for third on Lap 11, but Martin waited until the final lap to mount one final challenge, re-passing Nichols to get back onto the podium.
Osborne capped off his championship-winning breakout season the same way he started it, sweeping the motos after crossing the line 8.3 seconds ahead of Cianciarulo. Martin edged out Nichols for third.
Cianciarulo followed up his maiden victory last weekend with a strong runner-up effort.
- MX Sports Pro Racing / Andrew Fredrickson
Osborne's second 1-1 outing of the summer highlights an exceptionally consistent season in which he earned five wins and finished on the overall podium at 11 of 12 rounds. Cianciarulo followed his first career win from one week ago with a second straight podium result (2-2), finishing his season on a high note. Despite missing out on another podium result in the final moto, Nichols still captured his first career overall podium finish in third (3-4).
"It was a really good day. I just wanted to make it easy on myself," said Osborne. "I've fought enough this summer so I didn't want to do that to myself again today. Everything worked out about as well as it could and it was amazing to end the year like that."
Osborne finished the 2017 season with an 81-point advantage over Martin, who secured the runner-up spot, while Cianciarulo's strong finish to the summer carried him to a career-best third in the final standings, 127 points behind Osborne.
Nichols enjoyed the best outing of his career to earn his first podium result.
