Freestone Raceway, Wortham, Texas, June 6

Freestone is the newest track on the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship schedule entering just its third year of hosting a national (2007).

The Flagstar Bank Motocross National is the series' only visit to the Southeastern portion of the country.

Series Statistical Report

Prior to winning his first career 450 Class race last weekend, Mike Alessi had collected 12 podium finishes in the premier division.

Despite being one of the most consistent riders since turning pro in 2005 with 25 total podiums, Alessi only has four career Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship wins (450 and 250 classes): High Point 2005, Broome-Tioga 2005, Hangtown 2006 and 2009.

Christophe Pourcel became just the fourth foreign rider to win a 250 Class race. He is the third from France (Stephane Roncada and Jean-Michele Bayle), with Grant Langston being the other (South Africa).
GEICO Powersports Honda has had all four of its riders in the top 10 in three of the first four motos and had Justin Barcia not crashed while running second in Hangtown's second moto, they would likely be 4-for-4.

JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha has had one of its two riders in the top five for every moto this year. Last season, the team did not earn a single top-five finish.

450 Class Stats
