In the shadow of the nation's capitol, the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross
Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, celebrated 25 years of
competition in Southern Maryland on Saturday with the annual GEICO
Motorcycle Budds Creek National from Budds Creek MX Park, the
seventh stop of 12 this summer. The budding 450 Class rivalry
between the Red Bull KTM duo of Ryan Dungey
and Ken Roczen
continued with Dungey gaining the advantage for just the second
time this season, winning for the third straight year at Budds
Creek. In the 250 Class, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's
Blake
Baggett duplicated the achievement of his premier class
counterpart, winning for the third consecutive season at the
facility with his third victory of the summer.
In his third race back from an injury that kept him out for the
early portion of the season, Toyota/Yamaha/JGRMX's Justin
Brayton grabbed his first Motosport.com Holeshot Award of the
season in the opening 450 Class moto. Brayton was closely followed
by a large contingent of competitors, led by Team Honda Muscle
Milk's Trey Canard
and Dungey. Brayton maintained the lead on the opening lap with a
hard-charging Dungey on his rear fender, but while that battle took
shape Canard took advantage of an opportunity to slip by Dungey and
then set his sights on Brayton.

Canard soon made the pass to take over the lead on the opening lap
and proceeded to open a small gap over the field. As that happened,
Dungey lost another spot on the track while fighting to get around
Brayton, this time to his teammate Roczen. With no riders
separating himself and the leader, Roczen set his sights on Canard
and chipped away at the deficit, eventually taking control of the
moto on Lap 4. Dungey, meanwhile, made the pass on Brayton and was
able to close the gap on Canard to eventually take control of
second.
With the KTM duo asserting themselves out front and pulling away,
Canard fell into the clutches of GEICO Honda's Eli Tomac
with the pair battling throughout the remaining stages of the moto.
Out front, Dungey was able to close to within a second of his
teammate as they approached lappers near the end, but Roczen held
him off for the win. Canard withstood the challenge of Tomac for
third, with Team Yoshimura Suzuki's James
Stewart coming on strong to finish fifth.
After closing in on his teammate at the end of the first moto,
Dungey aimed to seize the opportunity in Moto 2 and did just that
by racing to the Motosport.com Holeshot Award. The clear track
allowed Dungey to set a torrid pace in the early stages and open a
comfortable margin over the field. With Dungey pulling away, Roczen
needed to work his way into second and after slotting himself in
third on the opening lap, he passed Toyota/Yamaha/JGRMX's Josh Grant for
second and looked to try and close the gap on his teammate.

Dungey never looked back and went on to post his most dominant ride
of the season with a wire-to-wire victory. The former two-time
series champion had led just nine laps coming into Budds Creek, but
nearly tripled his season total by leading all 17 laps of Moto 2.
Roczen followed in second, but had to fend off a major threat from
Tomac in the closing laps.
The Red Bull KTM duo posted identical moto scores once again but
Dungey's second-moto triumph awarded him the tiebreaker. Roczen's
streak of finishing on the podium in every moto this season
continued.
"It was tough after that first moto, but I got back, cooled down
and was feeling good," said Dungey, who moved into third on the
all-time total career wins list. "I thought this [the second moto]
was my moment. I got a good start, which that was way, way key and
just allowed me to ride my laps. It's good to get this win; it's
been since round one. This is a good step."
[caption id="attachment_32988" align="alignleft"

"We all have our days. I'm just happy to finish second and keep the
points lead the same," said Roczen. "That's all I can ask for. I
just wasn't feeling it in that second moto and it's time to put
that behind me. It's all about preparation during the week, so I'm
going to go back and get stronger."
Tomac's hard charge to close out the final moto helped him steal
third overall (4-3) from Canard, who posted identical 3-4 moto
scores. Soaring Eagle/RCH Racing Suzuki's Weston
Peick finished fifth (6-5).
Roczen's lead over Dungey in the 450 Class standings remains at 26
points. Canard sits third, 63 points behind. With three consecutive
overall podiums in his first three career starts in the premier
class, Tomac has already moved into 11th.

New faces emerged in the battle for victory in the opening 250
Class moto with GEICO Honda's Justin Bogle
securing the Motosport.com Holeshot Award, edging out Valli
Motorsports Yamaha's Christophe
Pourcel. As this pair jockeyed up front, Rockstar Energy
Racing's Jason
Anderson emerged as a player in the fight for the lead, passing
Pourcel and setting his sights on Bogle out front. Neither of the
lead pair had ever won a moto in their career, setting the stage
for a thrilling battle. After going bar-to-bar in the opening laps,
Anderson slipped passed Bogle on Lap 2 and began to open a gap over
the field.
With Anderson out front, the battle for the podium intensified with
points leader and Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha rider Jeremy
Martin joining Bogle and Pourcel in their fight. Martin made
the pass on Pourcel for third on Lap 6 and proceeded to challenge
Bogle for three laps before assuming control of the runner-up spot
on Lap 9. Throughout this fight, Baggett fought his way forward
from a seventh-place start to jump into podium contention. Baggett
moved into fourth on Lap 9 and then made the pass on Bogle for
third just two laps later.

As Baggett pressured Martin for second, the pair started to close
in on the eight-second lead that Anderson held out front with all
three eventually running mere bike lengths from one another. As the
white flag flew to signify the final lap, about one second
separated all three riders. Anderson maintained his lines to hold
off Martin and capture his first career moto win while Baggett
settled for third. Bogle finished fourth with Yamalube/Star Racing
Yamaha's Cooper Webb
coming from an 11th-place start to finish fifth.
Martin gained the upper hand to start the second moto by securing
the Motosport.com Holeshot Award with Pourcel in second and
Anderson third. The lead duo were able to pull away from the field
but Baggett, who started fourth, began his march to the front,
which started with a pass on Anderson for third. As Martin slowly
pulled away out front, Pourcel and Baggett engaged in a hotly
contested battle for second that lasted six laps before Baggett
finally made the pass on Lap 7.

Once in second, Baggett faced a deficit of over five seconds to
Martin and methodically closed it down to just a matter of bike
lengths. With their second and third-place finishes in the opening
moto, the overall win would be decided between Martin and Baggett,
in which the better finisher would emerge victorious. On Lap 12
Baggett made his move on the points leader and immediately pulled
away, taking the moto win to secure the overall in convincing
fashion.
"I definitely hope we can keep chipping away towards this
championship," said Baggett, whose third straight win at Budds
Creek was also the ninth consecutive for Monster Energy/Pro
Circuit/Kawasaki at the track. "All that matters is that I have the
points lead at the end of the season, even If we have to wait all
the way to the last moto then that's what we're going to do. We're
not going to stop fighting until then."
Baggett's 3-1 finishes edged out Martin (2-2) by one point when the
final totals were tallied. Anderson's first moto win helped him
land third (1-7), with Pourcel fourth (6-3) and Webb fifth
(5-4).

"I got off to a great start [in the second moto] and tried to put
on a charge there for a little while and got away a bit," said
Martin. "But then we hit some lappers and I could see Baggett was
right there closing in on me. He was riding really good and
congrats to him today. I'm just having fun and trying to win as
many races as I can. I'm getting to do what I've always dreamed of
doing."
Martin lost just one point to his lead in the 250 Class standings
with Baggett moving into second, 27 points out. Webb sits third, 33
points behind.
The 2014 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship continues next
weekend with the eighth round of the 2014 season with the Spring
Creek National. Spring Creek MX Park in Millville, Minnesota, will
host the world's best riders on Saturday, July 19. Action begins at
2 p.m. ET.

Ryan Dungey Wins Budds Creek Motocross National, Ken Roczen Second
[caption id="attachment_33022" align="alignright"

The Red Bull KTM Team of Ryan Dungey
and Ken Roczen
topped the podium again, but this time the victory went to Dungey
with 2-1 moto scores at the seventh round of the Lucas Oil Pro
Motocross Championship held at Budds Creek MX Park.
Ryan Dungey had a good start in the first moto but made mistakes on
the opening lap that allowed his teammate, Ken Roczen, to catch up
to him. The Red Bull KTM riders battled for the first three laps
before Roczen made a pass on Dungey. Roczen continued his push
through the pack and soon passed Trey Canard for the lead in a fast
outside line down Henry hill.
Dungey followed suit and quickly the two teammates were back
together. Dungey never fell far off the pace and was able to stay
within three seconds of Roczen throughout the moto. With one lap to
go, he slightly closed the gap but was unable to make the pass
allowing Roczen to take his seventh moto win of the season.
"I didn't get the best start in that moto," stated Roczen.
"Luckily, I made some quick passes and adapted well to the track.
The course is getting rough and I know the second moto will be more
challenging."

Dungey picked up another great start in moto two on his KTM 450
SX-F where he earned the holeshot. Dungey launched out front early,
never lost the lead and went on to claim the moto win. His 2-1 moto
scores earned him the overall for the day. Roczen started in 4th
position in the second moto and made the passes into the runner-up
position shortly into the race. Unfortunately, he had allowed
Dungey to pull a few bike lengths up front and was unable to close
that gap. The two teammates finished on the top steps of the podium
once again.
"I was feeling good all day," stated Dungey. "I knew what I had to
do to win today and I am grateful I was able to pull it off. I have
always liked this race and I think the series did a great job with
this track today."
The overall win marks Dungey's third consecutive overall win at the
Budds Creek race. With both Red Bull KTM riders' swapping the top
two positions each moto, the series point gap does not change. Now
seven races in, Roczen leads Dungey by 26 points.

GEICO Honda Budds Creek MX Race Report

Cudby[/caption]
Hours before the start of the GEICO Motorcycle Budds Creek National
on Saturday at Budds Creek Motocross, GEICO Honda 450 rider
Eli Tomac wasn't
sure he'd be able to race. Beset with nagging back issues, Tomac
decided to make a go of it and he raced right to the podium. Tomac
charged from a slow start in the second moto to finish third and
grab third place overall for his third consecutive podium
finish.
"Honestly, at the start of the day I didn't know if I was going to
be racing," Tomac said. "To turn it into a podium is awesome."
Tomac returned to the GEICO Honda team three races ago and has
contended for victory each week. Not even pain in his back could
slow him down.
"The adrenaline and the racing made me not think about it," Tomac
said.
[caption id="attachment_33019" align="alignleft"

Cudby[/caption]
Tomac started the day with a fourth-place finish in the first moto,
holding down the position for 15 of the race's 17 laps. In the
second moto, he didn't get a good start and was 11th after the
first lap, but by the end of the race Tomac had one of the fastest
motorcycles. He methodically picked his way through the field and
even closed on second place in the latter stages.
"It was fun," Tomac said. "I got in a good flow and had some good
lines out there. Honestly, it was a really tough track to pass on.
A lot of the lines drifted into each other, so when you tried to
pass, the other guy would kinda cut you off.
"To make a pass, you had to be really aggressive and hope for the
guy to make a little mistake, too."
Since Tomac isn't racing for motocross points, he could be
aggressive.
"You can, so I don't really have much to lose, and honestly I
don't," Tomac said. "I'm just gunning for podiums."

Teammate Christian
Craig doesn't have goals as lofty as Tomac yet, though this was
only his second race on the 450 bike. The Maryland heat and
humidity got to Craig in the first moto, as he faded to 15th
place.
"I'm just glad it's over, actually," Craig said. "I haven't been
training too hard because I do have a real job, so I knew it was
going to be a tough one when I was looking at the weather this
weekend. It was really humid.
"I qualified really good and put myself in a good spot in the first
moto but I just died. It was tough to hang on, and I just rode it
out. I was pretty worn out after that, and I didn't know if I was
going to race in the second moto because I was so depleted."
But Craig toughed it out.
"I went out there and just rode around," Craig said. "I ended up
doing better than my first moto."
Craig finished 14th in the second moto and was 14th overall,
matching his finish at RedBud last weekend.

Justin Bogle
led the GEICO Honda 250cc motocross team with a pair of top-five
finishes in the GEICO Motorcycle Budds Creek National on Saturday
at Budds Creek Motocross.
Bogle finished sixth overall in what was a bit of a disappointment
for the 250 Supercross champion in the East Series.
"I got tight," Bogle said. "It wasn't my best display of riding
today."
Teammates Matt
Bisceglia and Zach Bell
persevered through difficult days to finish 15th and 16th overall,
respectively.
The day started well for Bogle, as he was fast in practice and
earned the holeshot in the first moto.
"I started off the day good in practice and felt good," Bogle said.
"For me, practice usually doesn't go that well, so it was a good
start to the day and a great start to the first moto with the
holeshot. We led for a couple of laps and ran up front for most of
the time."
Bogle ended up fourth and was still in contention for an overall
podium finish, but he struggled in the second moto.
"Just a really tough moto for me," Bogle said. "I didn't get the
greatest start and got shuffled back the first couple of laps. I
felt strong and felt good all the way through the moto. I was
catching guys at the end, but I needed to make it happen a little
sooner."
[caption id="attachment_33026" align="alignright"
width="300"] Matt Bisceglia - Photo: Simon
Cudby[/caption]
Bisceglia crashed in the first moto, damaging his 250 bike, but he
recovered to finish that race.
"I over-jumped the little tabletop in the middle and landed on a
kicker," Bisceglia said. "It sent me end over end pretty hard and
knocked the sweat into the inside of my lens on my goggles. It bent
my bike and my levers up a little bit, and we had to get everything
straightened out."
He ended up 26th but had a much better race in the second moto and
was pleased with his progress.
"For how bad I spun off the gate and where I was at, I felt like I
came out decent," Bisceglia said. "I made a bunch of passes on the
first couple laps and was holding my own. It was a good comeback; I
just need to be a little bit stronger the last 10 minutes of the
race."
[caption id="attachment_33025" align="alignleft"

Cudby[/caption]
Bell made a good start in the first moto, crossing the line 10th on
the first lap, but brake issues caused him to slip back to
17th.
"My back brakes went out on the first lap, so the first moto didn't
go as planned," Bell said. "I ended up falling. I was running in
the top 10, trying to make my way back up."
His start wasn't as good in the second moto, but Bell began slicing
his way through the field before an error caused him to fall back
to 15th at the checkered flag.
"I was picking people off and ended up sliding out again," Bell
said. "I tried to make a late charge but the guys were too far
ahead. Overall, I'm happy and I'm excited for next weekend."

Blake Baggett Wins Budds Creek National For The Third Consecutive Year
[caption id="attachment_33012" align="alignright"
width="300"] Blake Baggett[/caption]
The Northeast summer heat and humidity pushed temperatures above
90-degrees on Saturday as the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross
Championship made their annual stop to Budds Creek in
Mechanicsville, Maryland. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki
Blake
Baggett beat the heat and put the hurt on the competition in
the second moto to take the win by more than 14 seconds securing
his third overall win of the season. Justin Hill
and Dean Wilson
both had one top-10 moto on their way to seventh and 12th,
respectively. In the 450 class, Brett
Metcalfe battled within the top-10 all day and finished eighth
overall.
[caption id="attachment_33014" align="alignleft"
width="300"] Blake Baggett[/caption]
Three-Year Dominance
For the third-consecutive year, Baggett thrilled the crowd at Budds
Creek. In the first moto, he was able to fight his way up from a
top-10 start on his Kawasaki KX250F. In the closing laps he dropped
his lap times and the top three battled wheel to wheel, crossing
the finish line only a second apart. Unhappy with third place,
Baggett set out determined and did not let a less than ideal start
get in his way. Going two seconds a lap faster than the leader, he
was able to reel him in, make a quick pass and leave him behind.
His 3-1 score gave him his third overall of the season and moved
him into second place in the points standings.
"Today was what I needed," said Baggett. "We came close the past
two weeks and this is what I came here to do. The track was rough,
the weather was hot, and we were ready for a fight. I ran out of
time in the first moto, so I needed to make a statement in the
second moto. We're 27 points down but with four rounds to go,
anything is possible. We're staying confident."
[caption id="attachment_33023" align="alignright"
width="300"] Dean Wilson[/caption]
Ups and Downs
In the first 250 class moto, it was Wilson who got off to a great
start within the top five. He battled up front while his teammate
Hill was outside the top 15 and trying to push forward. Wilson
finished seventh and Hill finished 13th, which left them both
wanting more. Wilson once again got a great start but was tangled
up in a first turn pile-up which locked on his starting device. He
was forced to come into the pit to free it up and had to work his
way up from last position. Roles were reversed as Hill was near the
front and rebounded to finish sixth while Wilson passed more than
half the field to finish in 16th.
[caption id="attachment_33017" align="alignleft"
width="300"] Brett Metcalfe[/caption]
Seeing Progression
Metcalfe started the day by posting the seventh fastest qualifying
lap on his KX450F. He lined
up for the first moto, confident and ready to battle the rough
track and humidity. With a top-10 start, Metty fought throughout
the 30-minute plus two moto to finish seventh. In the second moto,
Metcalfe was ready to better his first moto and rounded the first
turn with another great start, but coming down the first hill he
realized something was wrong. His rear brakes had malfunctioned and
he was left to race the majority of the moto without them. After
the moto it was discovered that a rock had wedged itself between
the brake line and swingarm. Despite the issue, Metcalfe rode hard
to salvage 11th place.
"It's just one of those things," said Metcalfe. "A rock cut my rear
brake line within the first couple of laps and there was nothing I
could do, but ride it out. We still scored some decent points and
will continue to dig for more at Millville."

Back in the Saddle
Next week the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship heads to
Millville, Minnesota for Round 8. Jake Weimer will make his return
to racing after a High Point crash. With Weimer back under the
Monster Energy Kawasaki tent, you can expect he and Metcalfe to
push each other up the standings. Meanwhile, Monster Energy/Pro
Circuit/Kawasaki's injured reserve of Adam
Cianciarulo, Darryn
Durham, and Martin
Davalos have all received positive news. Durham is back on his
KX250F and plans to return at Unadilla in a few short weeks, while
Cianciarulo was cleared to begin riding on Monday. Davalos has
begun walking and cycling following his ankle injury that robbed
him of the East Coast 250SX championship and hopes to return to
riding in August.

Jason Anderson Makes It Two Podiums In A Row At Budds Creek
[caption id="attachment_33011" align="alignright"
width="300"] Jason Anderson - Photo: Simon
Cudby[/caption]
Rockstar Energy Racing experienced continued success at Budds Creek
in Maryland. Jason
Anderson carried his momentum from Redbud with his 2nd
consecutive podium on a very rough track. In fact all of the tracks
from the past few weeks have been much tougher than years past and
Anderson is handling the terrain very well.
Jason Anderson clearly found his speed in the 2nd moto at Redbud.
It was obvious in the way he was riding and attacking the track.
That high carried into Budds Creek as he was on top of the leader
board in both qualifying practices. He was just knocked down to
second place on the last lap of the second practice. Barely missing
out on the bomb award, given to the fastest qualifier.
He started the first moto in the top 5 and quickly moved into the
lead after a couple very impressive passes. The first on Christophe
Pourcel as he railed around a turn standing up on the outside. The
2nd would put him into the lead as he overtook Justin Bogle. Again
coming from the outside, Bogle moved over on him, seemingly giving
him no place to go. He scrubbed a bump going up a hill, banked off
a wall and still found a way to set Bogle up and move by him. He
was able to hold off a hard charging Jeremy Martin en route to his
first career outdoor motocross win. His second moto did not go as
well in the sweltering heat as he rode his way to a finish outside
of the top 5. His effort was still enough to garner him his 3rd
podium in 5 races.
Jason Anderson:
"Had a good weekend. Stoked on my first moto win! I just want to keep the momentum going and stay on the box."
[caption id="attachment_33024" align="alignleft"
width="300"] Joey Savatgy - Photo: Simon
Cudby[/caption]
Joey Savatgy
had another weekend that just didn't go his way. After putting in
good lap times in practice garnering him a good gate pick, the day
quite simply just went downhill. He got out of the gate good in
moto 1, only to be collected in a first turn crash with Marvin
Musquin. The 2nd moto, he found himself on the ground once again
and coming from the back of the pack. He did the best he could and
managed a finish just inside the top 20. The only thing Joey can do
is try to stay positive going into next week as well as the rest of
the season.
Joey Savatgy:
Weekend was just a struggle. I had a good qualifying time but I ended up in a first turn pile up in moto 1 and crashed in moto 2. I really need to have a better day at Millville."
[caption id="attachment_33015" align="alignright"
width="300"] Ryan Sipes - Photo: Simon
Cudby[/caption]
Ryan Sipes also
had a day with not much positivity. Still dialing the bike in after
only one race aboard the team's KTM 450, he was improving a lot
throughout practice. He had some confidence going into moto 1,
being much more comfortable on his machine. Then on the step up
just after the first turn, he landed and his toe caught a rut on
the roller just beyond. Sometimes when that happens, it hurts
terribly but just goes away in a couple laps. That was Ryan's hope
as he continued forward. That was not the case however as he was
forced to pull off. He went to Asterisk for x-rays and luckily
nothing was broken, but he couldn't even put any weight on that
side to walk. He had the doctors tape it up and went out to give
moto 2 a go. Surprisingly he was riding really well despite the
issue and was inside the top ten. Unfortunately the ankle injury
worsened and once again he was unable to finish.
Ryan Sipes:
"This weekend for a lack of better terms sucked. I felt pretty decent and I kept feeling better all day. I was really concentrating on fixing some of my mistakes from practice. I got a fairly good start in the first moto then the very first jump I turned my ankle. I didn't crash, my feet didn't come off or anything, I just turned it and it popped pretty good. It was painful and I sort of aggravated an old injury from 7 years ago. I went and got it taped and decided I would try to gut it out for the 2nd one. I felt pretty good and I passed up to 8th. I flat landed a really small jump and it made it much worse. I didn't get to finish either moto which bums me out cause I hate not finishing. I plan to be back next week for Millville."
The team will now make it's way to Millville Minnesota and the
hills of the Spring Creek Motocross track. Anderson who finished on
the podium for the first time there a year ago will want to extend
his podium streak on a track he really enjoys. Savatgy will hope to
finally have some good fortune come his way for a top ten overall.
Sipes will have to stay off the bike and his ankle all week to
allow it to heal as much as possible.

Marvin Musquin Finishes 10th At Budds Creek National
[caption id="attachment_33027" align="alignright"

Cudby[/caption]
Red Bull KTM Factory rider Marvin
Musquin finished 10th overall after a rough day at the seventh
round of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Series held at Budds Creek
Raceway.
Marvin Musquin got a mid-pack start in the first moto and quickly
moved into the top ten in the opening laps. He remained consistent
throughout the moto and was able to move into 8th place by the
halfway point. He remained in that spot through the finish.
"The track is very rough today," stated Musquin. "It is also very
hot and humid which is playing a big factor. I did not have a great
start in the first moto and that hurt me."
Unfortunately, Musquin had worse luck off the start of the second
moto. Although he earned a good jump off the gate, he clipped
another rider around the corner which caused him to crash hard with
multiple riders on the start straight. Musquin was slow to get up
but eventually recovered and returned to the track about half a lap
down. He quickly went back to race mode and made important passes
to gain back ground lost. At the end of the moto he had moved up to
14th place. His 8-14 moto scores earned him 10th overall for the
day.
"I am bummed I was not able to land on the podium this week,"
stated Musquin after the race. "But I am happy that I was able to
walk away from my second moto crash and finish the race. I have had
a couple bad crashes lately and am happy to be okay."
