2012 WMX Championship to Once Again Feature Eight Rounds of Action

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (May 8, 2012) – The
Women’s Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, (WMX)
returns for another eight-race schedule for the 2012 season of Lucas Oil
Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing. Perennial
rivals Ashley Fiolek and Jessica Patterson have won the past four WMX
Class titles and will once again lead the world’s fastest women into
action for what is sure to be a highly-competitive summer.

The
WMX Class will be showcased as the first set of motos at each of the
eight rounds of the championship. As in years past, the women will
engage in a pair of 15-minute motos to determine an overall winner. The
gate will drop on the WMX Class’ opening moto to kick-start the day’s
festivities, with the second moto following just prior to intermission.

“The
WMX Class is always an exciting battle and you can expect that to
continue this summer,” said MX Sports Pro Racing President Davey Coombs.
“Over the last four years, the quality of racing has gotten better and
better thanks to a continued increase in the depth of talent. The
championship has clearly emerged as the world’s premier series for
female riders and the WMX Championship boasts more factory-supported
riders than ever before.”

The
2012 season will also mark the WMX Class’ return to television. Each
round of the championship will be featured in the weekly Lucas Oil Pro
Motocross Championship Highlight Show on NBC Sports, recapping the
captivating moments and storylines of all eight Nationals.

The
WMX season kicks off on May 21 from the Hangtown Motocross Classic in
Sacramento, Calif. Fiolek and Patterson will be challenged throughout
the summer by veterans Tarah Gieger and Mariana Balbi, in addition to
up-and-coming riders like Jacqueline Strong, Vicki Golden and Sayaka
Kaneshiro.

Following
Hangtown, the schedule will take the women to staple racetracks –
Freestone, Thunder Valley, RedBud, Spring Creek, Moto-X 338, and Steel
City - before joining their male counterparts in the 250 and 450 Classes
at the inaugural race at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park, the 2012
season finale.
