Just under two months removed from the conclusion of the 2009 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship, MX Sports Pro Racing has already turned its attention towards 2010, making a number of improvements in the program.
One of the first things to get a make-over is how WMX racers earn and score a prestigious national number. The new WMX national number selection process will assign national numbers based on final point standings from the previous season, rather than allowing riders to randomly choose their numbers, which was the case in 2009 and prior.

The new rule is stated as follows:

Riders participating in the 2009 WMX race season will be assigned numbers based on final championship standings. Riders not participating in the 2009 WMX race season may request numbers. Numbers 100-119 are reserved for visiting international riders.

Under the new rules, Ashley Fiolek will start the 2010 season with the No. 1 after winning the 2009 WMX Championship.

"MX Sports is excited to help continue growing the Women's Motocross Class," said Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Director Jeff Canfield. "By changing the national number process to an assignment-based system rather than selection, we hope to make it easier for everyone, especially the fans, to identify the riders."

Below are the final standings from the 2009 Women's Motocross Class of the Lucas Oil Motocross Championship and the coordinating assigned national numbers for the 2010 season:
