MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (August 30, 2010) - The 10th round of the 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship introduced the newest member of the exclusive national championship family as Rockstar/Makita Suzuki''s Ryan Dungey joined legendary names like Hannah, Bailey, Johnson, Ward, Bayle, Stanton, Emig, McGrath, Henry, and of course Carmichael in the history books as a premier class title holder. This weekend, the world''s most prestigious motocross series will host its penultimate round at the Labor Day tradition from Steel City Raceway with the FMF Steel City National in Delmont, Pa., on Saturday, September 4.
Dungey continued his impressive dominance of the 450 Class by capturing his ninth consecutive victory and posting his 10th and 11th straight moto wins at the sands of Southwick. The 20-year-old is setting a new standard of success for a debut season in this class, overcoming what was thought to be the most extraordinary rookie season of all time by 10-time champion Ricky Carmichael in 2000. By virtue of his 450 Class title, Dungey becomes the first rider in history to capture both the premier AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross titles as a rookie and has already achieved the career grand slam by winning all four titles in the sport - AMA Supercross Lites, AMA Motocross 250 Class, AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross 450 Class - in successive seasons.
Behind the Minnesota native in the 450 Class standings, the battle for the runner-up spot in the championship is heating up between Honda Red Bull Racing''s Andrew Short, who currently occupies the position, and GEICO Powersports Honda''s Brett Metcalfe. Both riders experienced misfortune at Southwick and are separated by only three points with two rounds remaining. Throughout the season, the Honda pair have been the most consistent challengers to Dungey''s dominance and with the need to bounce back after a tough weekend, their battle for second will surely come down to the wire.
