Reed Wins Second Straight at Hangtown to Kick Off
2011 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship
Blake Baggett Grabs First Career Win in the 250 Class

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. (May 21 2011) - The 2011 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship kicked-off on Saturday with the 43^rd
Annual Rockstar Energy Hangtown National. For the second consecutive
year, TwoTwo Motorsports/Bel-Ray Racing's Chad Reed, of Australia,
grabbed the overall victory in the premier 450 Class after a strong 2-1
moto effort. In the 250 Class, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's
Blake Baggett, of Grand Terrace, Calif., secured his first career
motocross win with 2-1 moto scores.

The
opening moto of the 2011 season was dominated by defending 450 Class
Champion Ryan Dungey, of Belle Plaine, Minn., and the Rockstar/Makita
Suzuki rider was looking for the moto sweep to start his title defense
on a strong note. As the gates dropped on the final moto, Monster
Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto, of Poulsbo, Wash., took the early
lead and a three-rider battle for the top spot ensued between he,
Dungey and Reed.

As
the race neared the halfway point, Dungey worked his way past Villopoto
after pressuring him for several laps and Reed soon followed. Just a
few minutes later, Reed made the winning pass on Dungey and slowly
began to pull away. Dungey saved himself for one final push at the tail
end of the moto, but couldn't find a way past the 2009 champion.

"I'm
a little surprised," said Reed. "I tested the last two weeks and it's
gone well. Normally, this track is always hard, choppy and one lined.
We came back this weekend and it was a completely different track than
we were expecting. I had a lot of fun today. It was a great racetrack.
I got two good starts, (ran) up front and I fought for it. I'm a little
surprised how comfortable I was with the track and bike. We've had only
a little time to work on the bike."

"I
had a week of outdoor testing and that helped us out," said Dungey. "I
felt good today. Coming into the weekend, we had a couple weeks of
testing and got a good base setting. I just wanted to get things
started, see where were at and move forward. I was trying to bulldog it
in the second moto and Chad (Reed) got by me. I got behind him and saw
some different lines. It took me a while to get back up there. I made
one last attempt, but I'm happy with that result. I made a hard attempt
to get by and was riding on the ragged edge, so I decided to back it
down. It's a long season."

Dungey's
1-2 moto results landed him in the runner-up spot overall, while
Villopoto finished his first motocross race since the Hangtown round in
2009 with the final spot on the podium (3-3).

The
battle for a vacant 250 Class title was a showcase for two of the
sport's rising stars. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Dean
Wilson, of Scotland, rode to a strong opening-moto win and put himself
in position for the overall in Moto 2. However, Baggett, who rode to an
impressive come-from-behind second-place effort in the first moto, took
charge, moving up from a start outside to top five to take the Moto 2
victory after a late pass on teammate Tyla Rattray, of South Africa.

"I
knew I had done all the training during the week and it was good to
come out and see how I was," said Baggett. "I like outdoors better than
supercross because you have to be creative and keep moving around. I
was just patient in the second moto. I knew I had to let the race come
to me. I just took my time and waited to see where I was. I got around
(Dean) Wilson and just kept trying to move forward. I put my head down
and looked for lines and ultimately passed (Tyla) Rattray in the same
spot I passed Wilson."

While
battling with Baggett, Wilson crashed, dropping from second to third in
the moto. He maintained his position to post 1-3 moto finishes and land
second on the overall podium. Rattray's strong Moto 2 performance
garnered him third overall (5-2).

In addition to the season premiere of both men's classes, the Motorcylce-Superstore.com
Women's Motocross Championship began its 2011 season. Reigning champion
Jessica Patterson, of Tallahassee, Fla., dominated both of the day's
motos on her DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing Yamaha, sweeping both motos en
route to the overall win. American Honda's Ashley Fiolek, of St.
Augustine, Fla., finished second (2-2) while World Motocross
Championship competitor and Red Bull KTM rider Steffi Laier finished
third (3-3) in a guest appearance on U.S. soil.

The
2011 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship continues next week, with
round two from Freestone Raceway in Wortham, Texas and the Rockstar
Energy Freestone National on Saturday, May 28.
