First Round Winners Reed and Tomac Lead Lucas Oil Motocross Championship into Round Two at Freestone Raceway

MORGANTOWN, W.V.
(June 1, 2010) - After enjoying the Memorial Day holiday at home with
family and friends, the stars of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross
Championship return to action this weekend for round two of the 2010
season and the Flagstar Bank Freestone National from Freestone Raceway
in Wortham, Texas. With a win under their belts and the points lead in
their favor, Monster Energy Kawasaki's Chad Reed and GEICO Powersports
Honda's Eli Tomac look to maintain the momentum they garnered at
Hangtown.

Reed kicked-off his defense of the
premier 450 Class championship in impressive fashion, dominating the
opening moto and riding to a strong third place finish in moto two,
showing no ill effects of sitting out the majority of the supercross
season. Jagermeister KTM's Mike Alessi was also at the front of the
field at Hangtown, highlighted by a convincing moto two victory, and
currently sits second in the standings. Honda Red Bull Racing's Davi
Millsaps, who rounded out the opening round podium, holds onto third in
the standings after posting 3-2 moto results.

The depth of the 250 Class field
was evident at Hangtown as several different riders challenged for
their spot on the podium. In the end, Tomac made history by becoming
the first rider ever to win his professional debut, posting a third
place finish in the first moto and capping off his inaugural event with
a moto two victory that sealed the overall win. Monster Energy/Pro
Circuit/Kawasaki's Christophe Pourcel shares the class points lead with
Tomac after a runner-up effort at the opening round in which he won the
first moto and finished third in moto two. While his day got off to a
tough start with a seventh place finish in the opening moto, GEICO
Powersports Honda's Trey Canard finished the day strong by finishing
behind his teammate in second in moto two, grabbing the final spot on
the podium and third place in the standings.

In addition to the action of the men's classes, the MotorcycleUSA.com
Women's Motocross Championship also hosts its second round of the 2010
season in Texas. DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing Yamaha's Jessica Patterson
dominated the WMX season opener, sweeping the day's motos in a perfect
1-1 outing. Reigning champion Ashley Fiolek missed out on capturing the
opening round for the first time in her young career, but still holds
onto the second in the standings aboard her Honda Red Bull Racing
machine after posting 3-2 moto results. Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil
Honda's Tarah Gieger was impressive in her debut for the team, going
2-6 in the day's motos to hold down third place.

Last season at the Flagstar Bank
Freestone National, Alessi was the rider to beat, putting forth a pair
of stellar performances en route to sweeping both motos on the day. In
the 250 Class, Pourcel and Rockstar/Makita Suzuki rider Ryan Dungey
traded moto wins and runner-up results to finish tied in points for the
event. Dungey edged out his rival for the overall win by virtue of
winning the second moto. In WMX class action, Fiolek was the class of
the field, capturing the win in both motos to take her third win of the
2009 season.

Freestone Raceway is one of the
most challenging tracks on the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship
schedule. Track promoter Tony Miller is always looking for ways to put
the planet's top riders to the test and this season will be no
different. As always, the ever-changing sand whoops affectionately
known as the 12-pack will separate the top riders from their peers and
the combination of high speed along with a variety of technically
challenging sections will create some of the most competitive racing
fans will see all season.
