The Women's Motocross Championship returns to action at Washougal for the sixth round of the 2012 season. Currently, Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki's Jessica Patterson leads the championship and boasts a division-leading three victories. However, a recent hand injury has hindered her efforts and allowed Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil Honda's Tarah Gieger to close the deficit to less than 10 points heading into this weekend's race. The WMX Class has not competed at Washougal since the 2009 season, when Patterson edged out Team Honda Muscle Milk's Ashley Fiolek for the win.

Washougal MX Park is one of the oldest stops on the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship schedule and is the only round of the season to run in the Pacific Northwest. The first National was held at Washougal in 1980 and with the exception of 1987, the track has been a part of the championship for the last 30 years. Over that span, the facility has been the site of many of the sport's most memorable moments and has become one of the most challenging circuits on the schedule. Washougal boasts one of the largest climbs on the circuit, with the iconic Horsepower Hill. Its picturesque setting, surrounded by evergreen trees and rolling hills, make it a must see for any motocross enthusiast.

The Peterson CAT Washougal National will feature live broadcast coverage of the first 450 and 250 Class motos on FUEL TV and AlliSports.com, beginning at 4 p.m. Eastern. Same day coverage of the final 450 Class moto can be seen on NBC Sports Network at 11 p.m. Eastern, while the second 250 Class moto will air Sunday on NBC Sports Network at 11 a.m. Eastern.
