Story and photos from promotocross.com
The fourth round of the 2021 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship featured the resumption of one of the sport’s most storied traditions, the Independence Day weekend celebration at RedBud MX. The welcome return of one of American motocross’ most passionate crowds provided an incredible atmosphere for the Twisted Tea RedBud National.
Monster Energy/Star/Yamaha Racing’s Dylan Ferrandis and Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence entered the afternoon with possession of the red plates as the respective point leaders, and both kept their strong starts to the season going. For the third time in four races Ferrandis captured the 450 Class victory, further strengthening his grip of the championship lead in his debut season in the division. Lawrence settled for his fourth straight podium result in the 250 Class, while Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire became the division’s fourth different winner in as many races.
