Summer is just around the corner and that means it’s time to kick off the 2012 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. The action begins this Saturday with the legendary FMF Hangtown Motocross Classic in Sacramento, California. Although a few top riders are out with injuries sustained during the Supercross Championship, there is more than enough talent on hand to make for a cutthroat season.

So thrilled to see that Davey Coombs and the folks at MXSportsProRacing.com have significantly improved the schedule for this summer’s Women’s Motocross Race Series.

For the past two years, the women were stuck with motos in the third and sixth spots on the schedule. This forced their second moto to take place on the absolute worst track conditions of the day, last!

Chad Wienen (Yamaha) was able to maintain his perfect record into the first moto of last weekend’s AMA ATV Motocross Championship in Mechanicsville, Maryland, but the second moto saw him finish off the podium for the first time this season.

The AMA ATV Motocross National Championship landed in Blountville, Tennessee this past weekend for Round 2 of the ten-race series.

Ashley Fiolek is a 21-year-old fierce motocross rider. She emerged into the spotlight during the 2008 AMA Women’s Motocross Association Pro National Hangtown Competition.  She entered the race as a Rookie, and left a champion. This was only the beginning to her long string of accomplishments.
