The 2012 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, will host its fifth round of the season on Saturday with the annual visit to Southern Maryland and Budds Creek MX Park. The Red Bull Budds Creek National, from Mechanicsville, will challenge riders on one of the most renowned tracks in the country and will also signify the debut race to be broadcast live on network television on NBC.
At last weekend’s FMF High Point National in Pennsylvania, Red Bull KTM’s Ryan Dungey asserted himself as the rider to beat in the 450 Class by securing his second consecutive overall victory and extending his points lead. Additionally, GEICO Honda’s Eli Tomac became the first repeat winner in the 250 Class.

Dungey swept the motos for the second consecutive weekend at High Point, putting forth another impressive effort. Since breaking through for his first win of the season two weeks ago, Dungey has generated considerable momentum as the season approaches its first break from competition. His championship advantage over the field now sits at 42 points as he heads into Budds Creek looking for his second win at the facility in three years.

Mike Alessi gave Dungey fierce competition at High Point by leading half of each moto. In fact, Alessi passed Dungey on the opening lap of Moto 2 in search of the overall win, but ultimately settled for a pair of runner-up efforts and a season-best second-place overall finish. By virtue of his performance, Alessi moved into second in the championship.

One week after grabbing his first-career podium finish in the 450 Class, Jake Weimer backed up his performance in Pennsylvania. Weimer asserted himself in the battle for the championship by claiming his second straight overall podium result (3-3) and while he fell from second to third in the standings, Weimer is a mere three points behind Alessi in second. He is also a former winner at Budds Creek in the 250 Class.
“I’m really having fun this season,” said Weimer. “I’m happy with where I’m at right now and I’m ready to be on the box every moto. Budds Creek is always a good racetrack, so hopefully they prep it well and develops lots of lines. I’ve won here before in the 250 Class, so I’m looking to get back into second in the points.”

Andrew Short has gotten his 2012 season off to a solid start for the brand-new L&Mc Racing team. After grabbing a podium finish at his hometown race from Colorado, Short secured a fourth-place finish at High Point (4-8) and moved to fourth in the championship standings.
