After a dominant run by Ken Roczen in the Unadilla Nationals, the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship heads down the Eastern Seaboard to Mechanicsville, Md. Saturday, August 21 for Round 9 of the 2021 season with the Budds Creek Nationals.

By sweeping both motos in New York last week, Roczen infused renewed energy to his championship campaign and served notice to points’ leader Dylan Ferrandis that he is not ready to relinquish the title.

But third-place Eli Tomac hopes he can do this week what Roczen did last week. Roczen’s Unadilla 1-1 was preceded by an equally dominant run the last time the series visited that track in 2019. Budds Creek was also canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the last time the Pro Motocross riders were there in 2019, it was Tomac’s turn to sweep the weekend.

Roczen finished fourth overall with a 2-7.

The 250 class points’ leader Justin Cooper finished third on this track in 2019 with a 6-2, while Ferrandis was consistent with a 4-4 and fourth overall.

Meanwhile, Jett Lawrence hopes to capitalize on his momentum after cutting Cooper’s lead in half in Unadilla.
