Last weekend at Budds Creek MX Park in Mechanicsville, Md., Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki's Chad Reed stood atop the podium for the fifth time this season and was able to add the number one plate to his resume after clinching the 2009 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship 450 Class title. 650-180 It is the first outdoor championship for the Australian rider and the third AMA title of his career. As the battle for second heats up between Honda Red Bull teammates Andrew Short and Ivan Tedesco, 70-236 the focus shifts this weekend to the tight 250 Class title hunt. During the Budds Creek race, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Christophe Pourcel extended his small advantage over Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki's Ryan Dungey to 13 points with two rounds remaining. 70-290 The advantage puts Pourcel in a comfortable position for the final four motos in which he needs to finish at least second in order to guarantee the championship no matter what Dungey does. While experience will play into Dungey's hand, 70-291 Pourcel has not appeared to suffer from unfamiliarity, landing on the overall podium at all 10 rounds this season. The duo will surely engage in a fight to the finish, providing stellar on-track action for the fans.
