After wrapping up the
450 Motocross Championship at the previous round of the Lucas
Oil Pro Motocross Championship Red Bull KTM Factory rider,
Ryan Dungey,
won his ninth straight overall victory at the eleventh round of the
series at Steel City Raceway.
At the start of the first moto, Ryan Dungey rocketed his KTM 450 SX-F
off the line to grab the holeshot. Dungey quickly pulled away from
the rest of the field. He went on to lead every lap of the race to
take the first moto win by over 30 seconds on the 2nd place
ride.
In the second moto, Dungey started inside the top five and crossed
the first lap in 4th position. Dungey made a pass on Jake Weimer
for 3rd place on lap two and then began to set his focus on the 2nd
place ride of Josh Grant. By
the end of the fourth lap, he passed Grant and began to close on
the lead ride of Mike Alessi.
Just past the halfway point, Dungey closed the gap on Alessi and
made a nice pass to take over the lead. Dungey led the remaining
laps to take the moto win and the overall for the day.
Dungey's 1-1 moto finishes earned him his ninth overall victory of
the season. "It feels great to come out here and win both motos
today," remarked Dungey. "I had to work hard to make the pass for
the lead in the second moto and take the win. I had a lot of fun
here and appreciate all of the fans that cheered me on today. I am
looking forward to the final round at Lake Elsinore next
weekend."

Red Bull KTM Factory Team rider Ken Roczen
finished 2nd overall in the 250 Motocross Class after earning 3-2
moto finishes at the eleventh round of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross
Championship Series held at Steel City Raceway. His teammate,
Marvin
Musquin, also had an impressive ride finishing 5th overall for
the day.
In the first moto, Ken Roczen leaped out to a great start sitting
inside the top three at the end of the first lap. Marvin Musquin
was not far behind in 5th position. The two Red Bull KTM teammates
held their pace and put together two solid rides to remain in their
position and earn top five finishes in the first moto. Roczen
finished 3rd overall while Musquin finished 5th for the first
moto.
Roczen earned another great start in the second moto where he
rounded the first lap in 3rd position. Musquin was a little further
back in 7th position. On the next lap, Roczen made a pass to take
over 2nd place while Musquin passed into 4th place. Roczen
continued to click off impressive lap times and finished the second
moto in 2nd place. His two podium finish results earned him 2nd
place overall for the day. Meanwhile, Musquin lost one position
near the end of the moto that dropped him to 5th. He crossed the
finish line in 5th place to duplicate his first moto finish and
earn 5th overall for the day.
Both riders will now head to California to race the final round of
the series to be held in Lake Elsinore, CA on September 8,
