Traxxas Pala National Statistical Report‏

Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship
Series Statistical Report

Traxxas Pala National
Pala Raceway - Pala, Calif. - September 10

• Pala Raceway is the newest venue for American Motocross, and is the new Southern California home of the sport.
• The
  Lucas Oil Motocross Championship has competed in San Diego County
  before, with the final race at legendary Carlsbad Raceway in 1982.
• Only
  Ryan Dungey and Dean Wilson have ever took the checkered flag at
  Pala, following moto sweeps by each rider last season.
• Pala
  carries one of the most unique distinctions of any track on the
  schedule as most of the series' riders use the facility for testing
  and practice throughout the season thanks to its convenient
  location.
• 14
  points separate Ryan Villopoto and Ryan Dungey atop the 450 Class
  standings. Should Dungey win both motos at Pala, Villopoto would
  need to finish fourth in both in order to secure the title.
• With his Steel City win, Villopoto has finished on the podium in 12 of his 13 career starts.
• Villopoto remains the only rider in either class to finish on the overall podium at each round this season.
• The victory was the fourth of Villopoto's 450 Class career. He currently sits alone in 26^th on the all-time wins list.
• Dean Wilson became just the 24^th
  different rider to win the 250 Class title, and is only the third
  internationally-born rider to achieve the distinction.
• Wilson
  has the most points of any rider in the series across both
  classes. He also boasts the best finishing average in the series.
  He does, however, share the most moto wins with Villopoto, at 9.
• Monster
  Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki is looking to become the first team in
  history to win the overall at all 12 rounds in the 250 Class. The
  team will also sweep the championship podium, which hasn't been
  done since the inception of factory teams for all manufacturers.

450 Class Stats

• Pala Raceway hosted its inaugural American Motocross event last season. Ryan Dungey won on a Suzuki.
• Thanks to a moto sweep, Dungey is the only 450 Class rider to win at the facility.
