The Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championships sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, made its return to the West Coast for Round 8 of the 50th anniversary season with its annual visit to the Pacific Northwest. The scenic surroundings of Washougal MX Park featured perfect temperatures and mostly cloudy skies at the MotoSport.com Washougal National, presented by Peterson CAT, where the highly technical track layout resulted in an exciting battle for victory across both divisions. In the 450 Class the season’s two elite combatants went head-to-head throughout the afternoon as Team Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton edged out Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing’s Eli Tomac via tiebreaker for his second victory of the season. The 250 Class saw an equally captivating battle in which Team Honda HRC rider and championship point leader Jett Lawrence relied on consistency to secure his seventh win of the summer campaign.
