Blake Baggett hadn't fared well at Budds Creek in the past, but he turned things around this season, joining GEICO Honda's Eli Tomac as the only other rider in the division to grab multiple victories. Baggett has led the points since the opening round and he'll be in search on a second consecutive win at RedBud tomorrow.
"My main goal is to keep holding onto that red plate," said Baggett. "I don't think I'm hungrier than I was last year, I think I'm just smarter. I really like the track at RedBud. It has a super cool layout and there are a lot of lines which makes for better racing."
Ivan Tedesco got good starts in both motos at Budds Creek, but not long after grabbing the holeshot aboard his KX250F in Moto 2, he crashed and had to pull off the track. Tedesco finished 14th overall with 8-36 moto results and currently sits ninth in the points standings.
"I got good starts at Budds Creek," said Tedesco. "I pulled the holeshot in the second moto and was stoked on that. Before we even finished the first lap I went down pretty hard going into a corner. My front tire slipped into some ruts and I knifed the front end. I slammed my head and tweaked my knee a little so I decided to pull off the track."
GEICO Honda
Justin Barcia grabbed another podium finish at Budds Creek, finishing third. After winning the opening moto, Barcia didn't get the start he needed in Moto 2, ultimately finishing fifth. While he missed out on the chance to claim his second win of the season, Barcia still sits second in the championship and is eager to give it another shot at RedBud.
One week after securing his second win of the season, Eli Tomac settled for fourth overall at Budds Creek, following a highly-competitive day of competition. With 5-3 moto scores, Tomac finished just off the podium and now sits in a tie with Red Bull KTM's Ken Roczen for third in the championship stadndings.
Wil Hahn secured a top-10 effort at Budds Creek, finishing seventh overall following 6-7 moto results. Hahn has been one of the most consistent riders in the division this season and currently sits sixth in the 250 Class standings.
Red Bull KTM
Ken Roczen looked poised to possibly capture his first career victory on U.S. soil at Budds Creek, but settled for a strong runner-up effort instead. Roczen's 3-2 moto scores maintained a nearly unmatched consistency in the class, remaining the only rider to finish on the overall podium at every round. While he has yet to claim victory yet this season, Roczen still sits in a tie with Tomac for third in the championship, only 22 points out of the lead.
Marvin Musquin's consistent 4-4 moto results at Budds Creek landed him fifth overall on the day. Musquin has been on the verge of breaking onto the podium all season long and will look to do just that tomorrow.
Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki
Jason Anderson was the lead rider for the Rockstar Energy Suzuki team at Budds Creek, finishing an impressive sixth overall after 7-6 moto efforts. Anderson continues to improve each and every week and is inching closer and closer to the lead group of riders. He currently sits seventh in the championship and will look for continued success this weekend.
Despite finishing outside the top 10 at Budds Creek in 12th (9-18), Blake Wharton still maintains a solid eighth position in the championship standings. He'll look to bounce back from a tough day at the previous stop tomorrow afternoon.
Star/Valli Yamaha
Kyle Cunningham's day at Budds Creek didn't go the way he had hoped. The veteran rider experienced a tough pair of motos, finishing 11th and 34th en route to 17th overall. Despite the misfortune, Cunningham still sits inside the top 10 in the standings and looks forward to turning things around at RedBud.
WMX Class
Following a one-round break from competition, the Women's Motocross Championship returns to action at RedBud for its fifth of eight rounds this summer. After grabbing her third win of the season at High Point, Rockstar Energy Racing Suzuki's Jessica Patterson enjoys a 33-point lead over Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil Honda's Tarah Gieger. Defending series champion, and Team Honda Muscle Milk rider, Ashley Fiolek will also be back on track after missing the previous round to injury. Currently sitting fifth in the WMX Class standings, Fiolek is the defending race winner at RedBud.
