Story and photos from promotocross.com
The energy was palpable throughout High Point Raceway as the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship resumed its Father’s Day tradition at the famed Pennsylvania facility following a year away. Thousands of fans welcomed the return of the world’s best riders to one of the sport’s most hallowed grounds for the third round of the 2021 season, and what followed was arguably the most competitive afternoon of the championship thus far.
New faces and many of the sport’s most established stars made their presence felt all day long across both the 450 Class and 250 Class, with memorable battles and unpredictable moments. In the premier 450 Class, Monster Energy/Star/Yamaha Racing’s relied on a pair of runner-up moto finishes to prevail with his second win of the season, which in turn returned him to the top of the championship standings. In the 250 Class, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Jalek Swoll rose to the occasion and broke through for his first professional victory, outlasting his more established rivals.
