MORGANTOWN, W.V. (July 14, 2009) - Through the first six rounds of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship season, there have been a total of eight different riders atop the podium across the 450 and 250 classes, including seven first-time winners. This Saturday, the Spring Creek Motocross facility in Millville, Minn., presents yet another opportunity for a new face to make his way into the winners circle and add to what had already been one of the most memorable an unpredictable seasons ever.

From farmland to ferocious motocross track, Spring Creek Motocross hosted its first Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross National in 1983. Known for its rich soil, which was used during the days when the track served solely as a farm, Spring Creek is located just a short drive from nearby Rochester, Minn. In 1987 John and Greta Martin assumed ownership of the venue and ever since have taken the facility to the next level. Some of those improvements include a three-story starting tower with a viewing platform, a three-story building equipped with concessions, a commons area, two levels of VIP suites, and a four story announcing tower with spectator deck. These first class amenities help make Spring Creek one of the leading tracks on the tour.

Television coverage of the 450 Class will air on SPEED July 18 at 11:30 p.m. EST while the 250 Class will also air on SPEED on July 21. Check your local listings for exact times.

In the highly competitive 450 Class, all five winners this season have broke through for their first career victory with Josh Grant becoming the most recent at RedBud on the 4th of July. Grant, who also won his first AMA Supercross main event this season, used 2-1 finishes to earn the overall aboard his JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha. Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki''s Chad Reed, of Tampa, Fla., controls the points lead 240-219 over Honda Red Bull Racing''s Andrew Short, of Smithville, Texas. Short''s teammate Ivan Tedesco, of Tallahassee, Fla., is third overall and has a win of his own this season. Of the class'' top riders, Short will lead the way this weekend thanks to a strong runner-up effort at Millville last season. The smiley-faced assassin is still in search of his first career victory, but with the amount of parity thus far in 2009, his odds are strong.

In the 250 Class, a wild pair of motos at RedBud concluded with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki''s Jake Weimer winning his second straight overall of the season. Weimer''s teammate Christophe Pourcel controls the points lead but the wave of momentum Weimer is carrying into Saturday plays into his favor. Additionally, the state of Minnesota will welcome home a trio of riders, led by Belle Plaine''s own Ryan Dungey. A two-time winner this season and currently second in the standings, the Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki will be a major threat for the win after capturing the overall at his home track last season. Spring Creek owners the Martin family will have extra reason to cheer this weekend as son Alex, who made his pro debut at Millville in 2008, will return home with a factory ride. With the absence of Trey Canard, GEICO Powersports Honda has enlisted the talent of Martin for Saturday''s race, giving the young rider his first big break as a pro. Last but not least, Goodrich''s Tucker Hibbert looks to take advantage o
f familiarity and achieve his best result of 2009. One of the world''s best snowmobile racers, Hibbert is arguably the most unique dual sport athlete on the planet, competing in two distinctly different disciplines during two polar opposite seasons.

2008 at Spring Creek marked a weekend of champions as both the 450 and 250 class titles were decided in Minnesota. Like he had done so in every race last year, James Stewart swept both 450 Class motos, marking his 10th win of the season and his 20th consecutive moto win. The win clinched his first-ever premier class AMA Pro Motocross championship. While Dungey claimed victory after going 2-1 in last year''s 250 Class showdown on the track he grew up racing on as an amateur, it was the hard-charging Ryan Villopoto, whose 1-2 result scored him his third consecutive 250 Class championship.

The increasingly popular Monster Energy Fan Fest will take place at the track on Friday afternoon, beginning at 4 p.m. CT. Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki and its riders Reed, Dungey, and Michael Byrne will be on hand signing autographs while numerous festivities provide a memorable preview to Saturday''s action. Additionally, the second round of the FMF 2-Stroke Invitational will take place during intermission on race day with a jam-packed field of experienced and talented riders.

Minnesota-based Shock Doctor, the global brand leader in sports protective gear including the revolutionary Eject Helmet Removal System, will be in attendance at Spring Creek providing demonstrations of all its products to the fans and answering any questions they may have. The Eject System, which provides emergency neck and spine protection after a motorsport crash, is now endorsed by MX Sports for improving safety in amateur and pro racing. Look for the Shock Doctor tent within the pits.

The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) is pleased to announce that motocross racing phenom Ashley Fiolek will speak at the Aug. 19 Opening Ceremony of the fifth AMA International Women & Motorcycling Conference, presented by Harley Davidson and Buell, in Keystone, Colo.

The fact that Fiolek is deaf has never hampered her performance on the motocross track. She quickly demonstrated that she is a serious competitor in the professional ranks when she rode her way to the title in the 2008 AMA/WMA Women's Professional Motocross Championship. This year has proved to be no different. After the first four races of the 2009 series, Fiolek -- competing as the first-ever woman member of the Honda Red Bull factory racing team -- currently holds first place in the point standings. But she is not content to stop there. Fiolek intends to compete on the men's motocross circuit in the not-too-distant future.

What makes the 18-year-old even more likable is her genuine passion for sharing her enthusiasm about women in the motorcycling.

"I am really looking forward to attending this year's AMA International Women & Motorcycling Conference in Colorado," she said. "I have been riding and racing since I was 7, and I think the advances in motorcycling sports that women have made are fantastic. I can't wait to meet other enthusiasts who share my love for being outdoors and riding."

"Ashley's accomplishments as a woman motorcyclist are as impressive as they are inspiring," says Tigra Tsujikawa, marketing and special events manager for the AMA. "I can think of no one more fitting to kick off our conference, and we are both honored and delighted that she will be joining us."

Registration for the fifth AMA International Women & Motorcycling Conference, presented by Harley-Davidson and Buell, costs $165 through Aug. 3. Registration after Aug. 3 (and any on-site registrations) will cost $185. The registration fee includes a commemorative t-shirt, and admission to all seminars as well as opening ceremonies on Aug. 19, a barn dance on Aug. 20, the International Street Party on Aug. 21 and a closing banquet on Aug. 22. Both the barn dance and closing banquet include dinner.

Participants can register now at https://home.ama-cycle.org/iwmc/registration/register.aspx or by phone by calling (800) AMA-JOIN. While the event focuses on women riders, it is not limited to women. Men are welcome to participate with a paid registration. Sign up for conference e-mail alerts at info@womenandmotorcycling.com, and follow conference updates on Twitter at http://twitter.com/womenandmoto.

LONDON (GBR).— Sunday night saw Maddison become the first rider in history to take on Tower Bridge on an FMX bike. The Australian used the famous London landmark as a take-off and landing ramp as he cleared the gap above the Thames after the bridge had been opened to let ships through. With an approach speed of approximately 75km/h, Maddison took off from the north side of the bridge, performing a Backflip 22 metres above the Thames, before completing a hard but safe landing in front of the south tower of one of the world's most famous sights.

Maddison: "I have been thinking about this jump for years. Over the last few months we've taken a really close look at each area of Tower Bridge. This time we were only on it for a few minutes, so everything had to be exactly right first time — we only had one chance to do it. It was an incredible feeling to fly between the two towers and over the Thames."

The spectacular stunt in the British capital is the latest on the Australian's incredible CV that includes jumping the equivalent of an American football pitch (106.9 metres) in 2008, or ringing in the New Year in 2009 with a huge 25.5-metre step-up jump onto the roof of the Arc de Triomphe Hotel in Las Vegas.

Maddison will return to London on 22 August to take part in the final stop of the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2009 in Battersea Power Station.

Former Two-Time US Open Supercross Champion to Chase After Third Title!

Feld Motor Sports announced today former two-time champion Chad Reed, of Tampa, Fla., will race at this year's Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open Supercross inside Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena October 9-11.

On the opening night of last year's race, Reed was forced to withdraw from the competition due to a mechanical problem suffered in a crash on lap one. The second night of racing offered fans one of the greatest races in Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open history between Reed and James Stewart. After leading the first 16 laps of last year's Saturday main event, Reed suffered a huge crash that ended his chances at winning the race.

I look forward to the Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open every year" said Reed. "I really enjoy racing on a tight and technical race track. The racing is always intense at this event. You have to be on your game both Friday and Saturday, and I won it (the race) in '03 and '04 and plan on adding an '09 win to that list."

Reed won back-to-back Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open championships in 2003 and 2004, besting rival and AMA Supercross / Motocross legend Ricky Carmichael. Known for his indoor skills, Reed has 38 career AMA Supercross wins and is third on the all-time win list.

Reed came to the U.S. from Australia in 2002 and has quickly become one of the world's top supercross racers. In his AMA rookie year, he won the 125cc Eastern Regional AMA Supercross Series. The following season he moved to the premier AMA Supercross class, winning eight races and scoring an additional six podium finishes en route to second place in points standings. In 2004, Reed had his best season ever, earning 10 wins and the first championship of his career. Since moving into the premier class, he has yet to finish worse than third place in AMA Supercross.

Tickets for the 2009 Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open Supercross are available at Ticketmaster locations, Carter Powersports (located at 6275 South Decatur Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89118) the MGM Grand Garden
Arena box office, www.ussx.com or by phone at (800) 745-3000.

The 2009 Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open Supercross will feature two distinctly different track designs for this year's race inside Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena, featuring the largest finish line jump in the event's history.

The six technical lanes will challenge riders and entertain fans inside the intimate MGM Grand Garden Arena. This year's track will be a combination of the-best-of-the-best obstacles taken from the last nine years of the Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open, including the mammoth finish line jump that will span nearly 75 ft.

"This year's U.S. Open tracks should be two of the best yet" said Dave Prater, Director of Supercross, Feld Motor Sports. "They're more technical and tighter than the previous year's, which will make it challenging and create great parity. There are still some straight-away's and a flat sweeping turn to allow for speed as well. Both tracks should please the fans and the riders."

AURORA, Ill. (July 6, 2009) - Defending Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open champion and recently crowned AMA Supercross class champion James Stewart, of Haines City, Fla., announced today that he will defend his title at this year's race inside Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena October 9-11.

At last year's Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open, Stewart capped of a stellar 1-1 weekend en route to winning his second championship at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. It was a special win for Stewart, who was competing aboard a new bike and new team for the first-time in his professional career.

"The U.S. Open is a part of preparation for myself and the San Manuel Yamaha Race Team leading into the 2010 season," said Stewart. "Last year, the U.S. Open was my first race with my new team and it turned out to be a great weekend. I had only ridden a Yamaha about four times before heading to Las Vegas to race in the U.S. Open and this year will be similar to last year because we have a completely new motorcycle that I will be racing. The U.S. Open is one of our steps for preparing for the 2010."

"As the defending Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open champion, it's great to have James' support in this unique race once again," said Dave Prater, director of supercross, Feld Entertainment Motor Sports. "James persevered at last year's race to win the second Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open championship of his career. A win this year for James can tie him on the all-time win list with Ricky Carmichael."

At the 2006 race inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Stewart swept both nights of racing en route to his first Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open title. During the two-night race, Stewart beat defending Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open champion Ricky Carmichael.

Tickets for the 2009 Rockstar Energy Drink U.S. Open are available at Ticketmaster locations, Carter Powersports (located at 6275 South Decatur Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89118) the MGM Grand Garden Arena box office, www.ussx.com or by phone at (800) 745-3000.

Grant Adds to List of First-Time Winners at RedBud
Weimer Nabs Back-to-Back Victories in 250 Class

BUCHANAN, Mich. (July 4, 2009) - The 2009 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship continued to provide some of the most unpredictable action in the history of the sport as JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha rookie Josh Grant, of Riverside, Calif., became the series' seventh first-time winner of the season at the Monster Energy Motocross National from RedBud. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Jake Weimer made it two in a row in the 250 Class.

Grant paced the morning practice sessions on Saturday and showcased his stellar speed in each of the day's motos. After a bad start in moto one, Grant stormed through the field to a runner-up finish, nearly stealing the win from Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki's Chad Reed, of Australia. In the final moto, Grant came out of the gates in the top five and quickly moved into second where he stalked Honda Red Bull Racing's Ivan Tedesco, of Tallahassee, Fla., before making the move for the win.

"I really needed this win," explained Grant. "I finally got a decent start and just made all the passes I needed to get to the front. I'm pumped for the Joe Gibbs Racing team because its our first outdoor win. I knew we had the speed. I just needed to get a start and today everything worked out."

Reed solidified second overall (1-3) and his spot atop the season standings while Tedesco wrapped up the third position (4-2). Halfway through the season, Reed holds a 21-point lead over Andrew Short.

Weimer raced to his second straight victory after claiming his inaugural win one week ago. Consistency proved to be the key on Saturday as Weimer's competitor's battled misfortune in the motos, becoming an unlikely winner with moto results of second and fourth.

"I was pretty sure I had the overall by the halfway point. I knew the guys ahead of me were behind me in the first moto. I saw Dungey go down so he was behind me and he was the only one that beat me (in moto one). I feel like I rode well and I'm just happy to be up here."

The overall podium duplicated that of last week's as Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Christophe Pourcel, of France, took second overall (8-1) and Muscle Milk/MDK/KTM's Tommy Searle, of Great Britain, rounded out the podium (5-2) for the third week in a row.

Pourcel holds a nine point lead over Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki's Ryan Dungey heading into the final six races.

The Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship takes a week off, but returns to action on Saturday, July 18 from Millville, Minn. for the Honda Spring Creek Pro National from Spring Creek Motocross Park. Same day coverage can be seen on SPEED at 11:30 p.m. ET.

The 2009 Lucas Oil AMA National Motocross Championship has begun and this weekend the series rolls into Sacramento for the Hangtown Motocross Classic.

Hangtown predates the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship but a national series was the dream of the founders more than 40 years ago. Now, the Dirt Diggers North Motorcycle Club (DDNMC) is proud to own and produce the longest-running motocross national of all and the only event on the schedule still run by a motorcycle club, the Hangtown Motocross Classic.

The first DDNMC race was held in 1968 and in 1979 the Club and the Sacramento County Department of Parks and Recreation put together a permanent facility at the Prairie City OHV Park in Rancho Cordova, near Sacramento. Eventually, the State OHV Department took control of the park and, in conjunction with DDNMC, has provided permanent sprinklers, fencing, restrooms, running water, gazebos, a state-of-the-art announcing tower, and other facilities.

Prior to the excitement of race day on Saturday, Glen Helen will host the inaugural Monster Energy® Fan Fest on Friday, May 22.

Monster Energy® Fan Fest officially kicks off at 4 p.m. and concludes at 6 p.m., but early attendees can catch a glimpse of the world's best riders on-track during an exclusive one hour riding session from 3-4 p.m. The stars of the 450, 250, and WMA classes will all be logging laps in preparation for Saturday's big event.
