AMA Nationals All-Time Wins List 3

From AlliSports.com:

As the opening round of the 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross
Championship approaches, its time to look back at the record book of
the world's most competitive motocross series. The AMA Motocross
Championship was established in 1972, and since then many of the best
motocross racers in the history of the sport have emerged as race
winners and champions.

Leading both lists is Ricky
Carmichael, the 10-time champion and 102-race winner. Carmichael, who
retired in 2007 to pursue an automobile racing career, captured an
astonishing 76 outdoor national wins in the 450 Class, and he won every
round of the series on three different occasions: 2002, 2004 and 2005.


That kind of dominance is a far cry from what the Lucas Oil AMA Pro
Motocross Championship saw in 2009, as five brand new names were added
to the series record books after gracing the top of the podium for the
first time in their professional motocross careers.

In the
premier 450 Class, seven different winners took the checkered flag last
summer, all of them winners for the first time in the series' premier
division. Chad Reed led the way with five overall wins on his way to
the title and Ryan Villopoto, Mike Alessi, Ivan Tedesco and Josh Grant
all added wins in the 450 Class to their career resumes, which already
include 250 Class wins. Additionally, Matt Goerke and Tommy Hahn
captured popular underdog victories-the first wins of their careers in
any class or series.

In the 250 Class, three new faces
captured their inaugural wins at an outdoor national. The
deeply-talented division provided some of the most competitive racing
in series history, as the hotly-contested championship went down to the
final moto. Rockstar/Makita Suzuki rider Ryan Dungey emerged as
champion after a bitter duel with former world champ Christophe
Pourcel. Dungey's four wins matched the tally for Pourcel, but he
nonetheless out-pointed the Frenchman for the title. Pourcel's Kawasaki
teammate Jake Weimer captured three overall victories, and rookie
phenom Justin Barcia earned the first win of his career.

With
another season of the most talented field in history in store for 2010,
both the 450 and 250 classes should welcome additional fresh faces atop
the podium and continue the ever-growing legacy of the Lucas Oil AMA
Pro Motocross Championship.

After capturing four victories
last season, French rider Christophe Pourcel returns in 2010 as the 250
Class championship favorite.
