Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship Notes:
Rockstar Energy Southwick National

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(August 25, 2011) - The final off-weekend of the 2011 season leads into
a three-week showdown to determine who will win the respective titles
in the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship. This weekend, American
Motocross makes its lone trip to the New England area, with its most
unique stop on the schedule. Moto-X 338 in Southwick, Mass., is the
series' only sand track, and has been a staple of the sport since the
1976 season. The sandy surface is traditionally one of the most
challenging venues the world's best riders will face, but is also one of
the most popular because of it.

Currently,
just seven points separate Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto and
Rockstar/Makita Suzuki's Ryan Dungey atop the 450 Class standings,
while TwoTwo Motorsports/Bel-Ray Racing's Chad Reed sits 25 points out
of the lead. In the 250 Class, the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki
trio of Dean Wilson, Blake Baggett and Tyla Rattray, continue to sit
atop the standings, with Wilson holding a 25-point margin over Baggett,
and 43 over Rattray.

450 Class

Monster Energy Kawasaki
Ryan
Villopoto took advantage of his first opportunity to wear the red
number plate, designated to the current points leader, by sweeping both
of the day's motos at the previous round from Unadilla. The race marked
the debut of the 2012 Kawasaki KX450F, and also signified Villopoto's
birthday. With two wins to his credit this season, Villopoto will be
looking to add to his points lead at a track he won at during the 2008
season.

"I
felt like the bike was great for the amount of testing we did on it,"
said Villopoto. "Although it wasn't much, it was more than we had been
able to do on the 2011 model. I think the KX450F is a great bike, and
Kawasaki continued to improve on an already-solid motorcycle."

Jake
Weimer had his best effort of the season at Unadilla, also giving a
good ride aboard the brand new Kawasaki machine. After a strong opening
moto in which he finished fifth, Weimer backed up the effort with a
sixth-place finish in Moto 2, for sixth overall. The first-year 450
Class rider hasn't been as consistent as he would have hoped in 2011,
but he'll look to maintain the momentum he gained from Unadilla this
weekend.

"I
think that my results showed that I adapted to the new bike," said
Weimer. "We definitely had some great days of testing, and the team put
in a lot of work to make sure we were ready at Unadilla. Now, I'm
looking forward to finishing out the rest of the season on it."

Rockstar/Makita Suzuki
With
the momentum of back-to-back victories coming into Unadilla, many
though Ryan Dungey would have the opportunity to claim a third
consecutive win. However, Dungey was not able to keep the early pace set
by his championship rival in either moto, and ultimately engaged in an
impressive battle with Justin Barcia for second overall. Dungey
prevailed, securing the runner-up finish, and minimizing the points he
lost in the championship. Now, he heads to the site where he claimed the
2010 title one year ago, and will look for even more success at
Southwick.

"Overall,
I'm happy with the way we rode at Unadilla," said Dungey. "We've had a
short break before Southwick, and I've focused on training and getting
ready for this weekend. I won both motos there last year, and I'm hoping
to do that again this season."

Brett
Metcalfe was strong at Unadilla, despite what the results sheet says.
His first-moto finish of sixth put him in great position to secure
another solid effort and possibly threaten for a podium finish, however,
he encountered misfortune while running in the top five in Moto 2,
ultimately relegating him to 12^th overall. He'll look to rebound this weekend at a track in which he nearly broke through for his first-career moto win.

"I
really want to be contending for the podium again," said Metcalfe. "We
had some trouble at Unadilla, but on the positive side, I rode strong.
I'm looking forward to Southwick. I had some bad luck there last year
and I want to redeem myself. I'm going to be running up front, and I
want to win that race."

TwoTwo Motorsports/Bel-Ray Racing
Feeling
fully recovered from the effects of his crash at Spring Creek in July,
Chad Reed was looking to challenge for the win at Unadilla, but
ultimately, was not able to make his way to the lead pack with his
championship rivals. Reed posted 4-5 moto scores to finish fourth
overall, but lost valuable ground in the championship. With three races
remaining, Reed will look to add to his four-race win total and get back
into the title fight.

American Honda
Justin
Barcia made his 450 Class debut in a substitute role for American Honda
at Unadilla. With the chance to compete in front of his hometown crowd,
Barcia took advantage of the opportunity, and parlayed a pair of strong
starts into 3-3 moto finishes, ultimately placing him third overall.
Barcia even led a significant portion of the opening moto, gaining
valuable experience in learning the pace of the premier class. With a
250 Class win at Southwick in 2009, Barcia will look for an upset
victory on Saturday.

Red Bull KTM
The
Red Bull KTM team suffered the loss of Andrew Short for the remainder
of the 2011 season during the week break from competition. The veteran
rider, who had gained tremendous ground in the standings, suffered a
pair of broken arms while testing, and will surely be missed the rest of
the summer.

Mike
Alessi had a solid outing at Unadilla, posting 7-4 moto scores to
finish fifth overall. The consistent effort helped Alessi move past his
teammate in the 450 Class standings, now occupying fifth. Alessi
garnered a podium result at Southwick last season, and will look to
replicate that effort this weekend.

Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGR
Justin
Brayton led the way for Joe Gibbs Racing at Unadilla, and was in the
midst of a strong effort before encountering misfortune in the final
moto. Despite that, Brayton continued to push forward, ultimately
finishing with 8-7 moto scores, landing him seventh overall.

250 Class

Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki
With
another dominant outing at Unadilla, Mitch Payton's team still boasts
an undefeated record in the 2011 season. Adding his name to the list of
overall winners this summer was current 250 Class points leader Dean
Wilson. Despite being the most consistent rider in the entire series,
Wilson had yet to break thorough for a win. However, at Unadilla, he
relied on strong starts to sweep both motos in convincing fashion, and
extend his points lead to 25 coming into Southwick.

"It's
definitely nice to have the points lead rather than be chasing it down
with only a few rounds left," said Wilson. "But it does put a lot of
pressure on me to maintain it. I would like to just go out and ride like
I did at Unadilla. I know that I can do it. Now I just have to prove
it."

Blake
Baggett was looking to add to his series-leading win total at Unadilla,
but ultimately relied on a consistent 2-3 effort to secure the
runner-up spot overall. He now moves into second in the 250 Class
standings, and will look to chip away at the deficit he faces.

"All
I can do is go out and try to get the win each moto," said Baggett.
"That will be the only way I can guarantee that I have a chance in the
final round. Anything can happen in motocross. That's why we race until
the checkered flag flies."

Tyla
Rattray experienced a tough outing at Unadilla. The three-time winner
this season started the day off with a strong third-place finish in the
opening moto, but following a crash in the early stages of Moto 2, was
unable to finish, ultimately going 3-36 on the day for 11^th
overall. The misfortune dropped Rattray to third in the standings, and
he'll be looking to bounce back at a track he won at one year ago.

"Last
year I won the race at Southwick, which was really special because my
daughter was born on that day," said Rattray. "It would be a great first
birthday if I could do it again. I like that the track is rough, and
you really have to be in shape to tackle it. I'm hoping that will give
me the advantage over my teammates."

DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing Yamaha
Kyle
Cunningham didn't get his day off to the start he was hoping for at
Unadilla, posting an eighth-place finish in the opening moto. However,
Cunningham came back strong in Moto 2, finishing just off the podium in
fourth, which ultimately landed him fourth overall. He maintains
possession of fourth place in the 250 Class standings heading into
Southwick.

Gareth
Swanepoel was looking to excel at Unadilla as well, and keep up his
recent string of strong efforts. The South African started his day with a
fourth-place effort in the opening moto, and was able to fight his way
to 16^th after a tough start in the final moto. In the end,
Swanepoel secured eighth overall, and enters Southwick sixth in the
championship standings.

GEICO Honda
Eli
Tomac made his anticipated return to the overall podium at Unadilla,
leading the way for the GEICO Honda team. After a solid top-five finish
in the first moto, Tomac kept Dean Wilson within his sights throughout
Moto 2, eventually recording a second-place finish. Thanks to his
consistent efforts, Tomac finished third overall and has a firm hold on
fifth in the 250 Class standings.

Justin
Bogle's professional debut was one to remember. Fresh off winning the
AMA Horizon Award at the Amateur National Motocross Championships, Bogle
was impressive against his much more experienced counterparts, and
showed the speed necessary to be a regular contender at the front of the
field. While he will continue to acclimate to the pace and endurance of
the professional ranks, he is surely proud of his 6-6 moto scores that
helped him finish fifth overall.

Rockstar Energy Suzuki
Martin
Davalos was able to secure another top-10 finish at Unadilla. The
veteran rider got off to a slow start in the opening moto, finishing 14^th,
but bounced back in Moto 2 with a solid fifth-place finish. As a
result, Davalos finished seventh overall for the day, and heads into
Southwick ninth in the 250 Class standings.

"Unfortunately
my tooth got knocked out at Unadilla, and I had to endure some pain
throughout the day," said Davalos. "We had a weekend off to regroup and
work on some things, and I went to see the dentist to get everything
fixed up. So, I'm looking forward to Southwick - it's one of the
toughest races on the circuit, and I'm prepared for it."

WMX Class

The Motorcycle-Superstore.com
Women's Motocross Championship will resume its eight-race championship
at Southwick as well. Saturday's race will serve as the sixth round of
the season, kicking off a three-week run to the finish. Currently,
American Honda's Ashley Fiolek holds an eight-point lead over her DNA
Shred Stix/Star Racing Yamaha rival Jessica Patterson. The pair have
traded overall wins throughout the summer, and they will resume their
closely-contested battle for the title this weekend.
