AMA Pro Motocross Recap: 2021 Budds Creek National
Last week it was Ken Roczen and Jett Lawrence bringing home the Honda sweep at Unadilla. This week the pair looked to capitalize on that momentum in their individual title races at Budds Creek.

A bad year for race control in NASCAR boiled over on Sunday in Indianapolis. A slew of bad calls and misjudgments made the first up Cup race on the IMS road course a disaster in the closing laps. Some serious changes to the race control department are needed.
Kyle Larson led the final 26 laps on Sunday en route to his fifth win on the season. Moreover, he caught Denny Hamlin in the point race (both have 917 points). Despite this, he would not be free of controversy. On the 55th lap, Larson and Christopher Bell had a dust-up that would leave Bell on the losing end. As Larson attempted to overtake Bell in turn 1, his brakes evidently locked up, which would cause Bell to spin out. Bell finished seventh in the race.
The GasGas’ paddock will be notably empty for this upcoming weekend in central New York. In a pair of separate incidents, Justin Barcia and Michael Mosiman both hit the deck in midweek practice sessions. As a result, both riders will miss Unadilla this weekend.
We now sit just short of two months away from most major moves in the American Motocross/Supercross scene taking form. There have already been numerous moves reportedly set in stone, but even more are beginning to trickle in.
On Tuesday afternoon, FELD Motor Sports officially dropped the 2022 17-round Supercross schedule. Next year’s tilt will officially return to Anaheim, CA to start things out on January 8.
Millville is a consistently great presence on the AMA Pro Motocross schedule and 2021 was no different. A pair of first-time winners this season highlighted some spectacular racing on one of the world’s premier tracks in Minnesota. On top of a change at the top of the 250 pecking order, and an injury scare for a 450 title contender averted with a strong Moto 2.
It is now that wonderful time of year in the NASCAR realm where team and driver moves for next year are heavily speculated on. This year, a few moves have already been set in place. Including a few that have been announced within the last couple of days. As of Thursday this week here is where most things stand and what could possibly lie ahead.
The Sandbox in Southwick made its triumphant return to the AMA Motocross Schedule on Saturday after not taking place in 2020. The 250 Class saw its fifth different winner in five nationals. One of the top 450 championship contenders avoided catastrophe in the points standings, while another did not share that level of fortune at The Wick.
Perhaps the biggest crown jewel in all of American motocross made its rightful return to fourth of July weekend this year. At this year’s RedBud National, some of the best racing in recent memory went down.
After just singing a year-long pact for 2021, Lewis Hamilton has officially agreed to a new two-year contract with Mercedes-AMG Petronas Racing.
One of the bigger moves for next year’s NASCAR season is reportedly set in stone. After over a decade at Team Penske, 2012 Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski is now expected to move to Roush Fenway Racing.
