Motocross 2013 Update

Two champions were crowned at the motocross event in the new track in Utah. Ryan Villopoto clinched the 2013 450 AMA title at Miller Motosports Park. After winning both motos, Kawasaki rider captured his second motocross Championship. In the 250, Eli Tomac won his first motocross title in the lites class. Villopoto go the holeshot for the first Moto and quickly got away. He held a 7 second lead in the first couple of laps. Ryan Dungey who was the title defender needed to win Villopoto to keep his chances alive. Unfortunately, by the time he got passsed Justin Brayton who was second, Villopoto was too far to be seen. Villopoto and Dungey finished first and second in Moto 1, which allowed Villopoto to be closer to winning that title. Villopoto's outstanding performance at the Utah National was enough to grab the 2013 championship.

 Heading into Moto 2, the 250 Class Championship was still available for Tomac and the KTM rider Ken Rockzen. Justin Bogle (Eli Tomac's team mate) grabbed the holeshot. Roczen took over the lead in lap 7 until Tomac started to pressure Roczen. In a few laps, Tomac took over the lead and showed what he was made off. Although Tomac had the advantage on Roczen in Moto 2, the championship wasn't completely over until Baggett entered the second place battle with Roczen. Baggett's last-lap pass on Roczen was enough to give Tomac the points he needed to secure the 250 Class Championship with an overall win.
