Fly Racing’s Short Claims 450 Moto Win

AMA Outdoor Motocross
Series, Round 4 – Mechanicsville, Maryland


The AMA Lucas Oil Motocross made stop number four this past weekend at
Budd’s Creek MX in Mechanicsville, Maryland and it was a great weekend
of racing for Fly Racing. The weather and track conditions were near
perfect and Fly Racing riders had a great weekend of finishes. The
highlight of the weekend though had to be Fly team rider Andrew Short’s
stunning first moto victory. Shorty pulled the holeshot and checked out
for his first moto win of the year!
