Inaugural FMF 125 Dream Race Invitational Triple Crown Adds
Two-Stroke Racing to 2017 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship
Three-Race Series Will Include Hangtown, Thunder Valley, and Washougal
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (April 17, 2017) - MX Sports Pro Racing and FMF Racing have announced and exciting addition to the 2017 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship with the inaugural FMF 125 Dream Race Invitational Triple Crown. This trio of two-stroke races will take place at the season-opening Red Bull Hangtown Motocross Classic on May 20, the True Value Thunder Valley National on June 3, and the Peterson CAT Washougal National on July 29.
The format for each of the three races in the Triple Crown will feature one practice and one moto, which will take place in between the pair of motos for both the 450 and 250 Classes. The competitors that will make up each 125 Dream Race field will consist of past champions, former pros, factory-level amateur competitors, and potentially even industry icons and celebrities.
"The opportunity to pay homage to the roots of American motocross was simply too good to pass up," said Davey Coombs, President of MX Sports Pro Racing. "The draw of a two-stroke has remained prevalent despite the progression of the sport, and thanks to the longstanding partnership we have with a passionate supporter like FMF we have the ability to give our fans and the motocross industry what it wants with a truly special showcase at multiple rounds of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship."
FMF Racing's sponsorship of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, and the sport of motocross, spans decades. The iconic exhaust manufacturer also serves as the title sponsor of the FMF Glen Helen National on Memorial Day weekend (May 27).
"After our inaugural 125 Dream Race Invitational at Washougal last year, it's exciting to have MX Sports Pro Racing recognize the vision of what the 125 Dream Race stands for, and what it brings to the industry and community of current motocross racers and fans, and those still to come." says Joey Lancaster, the founder of the original 125 Dream Race, now entering its sixth year apart of the National's amateur weekend racing program at Washougal MX Park.
