Crestview
Construction Returns as
Title Sponsor of
Western Massachusetts
Storied Southwick National

Round 5 of 2024 Pro
Motocross Championship
Set to Tackle the Sand on
June 29
|

MORGANTOWN,
W.Va. (April 9,
2024) – MX Sports Pro
Racing, Inc., in
conjunction with The
Wick 338, has announced
the return of
multi-generational
homegrown developer
Crestview Inc. as
title sponsor of the
42nd running the
Crestview Construction
Southwick National
on June 29 from the
hallowed sands of
Western Massachusetts’
iconic racetrack. The
most unique venue in
American motocross has
hosted this
one-of-a-kind summer
tradition for a
passionate New England
fan base since 1976 and
will see the season
reach a critical halfway
point as Round 5 of the
2024
Pro Motocross
Championship,
sanctioned by AMA Pro
Racing, and Round 22 of
the
SuperMotocross World
Championship Series.
“As a longstanding
contributing member
within the community in
Southwick, The Wick 338
is privileged to partner
with another cornerstone
of the community in
Crestview Inc. to
continue the decorated
and rich legacy of the
Southwick National,”
said Rick Johnson,
General Manager of The
Wick 338. “The LeDuc and
Dziengelewski families
took on our title role
one year ago and helped
us achieve one of the
track’s most successful
events ever. We’re
grateful to have their
support for another year
and are looking forward
to another incredible
event at such a critical
juncture in the season.”
The “moto sandbox,” as
The Wick is
affectionately referred
to, sits in the heart of
town, nestled amidst the
trees behind Southwick
Regional School and
Woodland Elementary
School. It is the
backdrop for the
American Legion Post
338, for which the track
is named, and boasts a
highly technical and
greuling serpentine
layout that provides one
of the most intimate and
spirited atmospheres in
the sport. It is often
considered the toughest
test in the
championship, guaranteed
to push the limits of
both riders and
motorcycles alike.
Because of the unique
challenge The Wick
presents, the Southwick
National is one of the
crown jewels of American
motocross.
With its central
placement on the
schedule, Southwick is
poised to play a major
role in the outcome of
each respective
championship. Reigning
450 Class Champion and
Team Honda HRC rider
Jett Lawrence will chase
a third straight win in
the sand, which dates
back to his 250 Class
triumph during the 2022
season. In the smaller
displacement, Frenchman
Tom Vialle will be the
division’s lone past
winner at The Wick after
he piloted his Red Bull
KTM Factory Racing ride
to a maiden win on U.S.
soil last summer to
become the third
straight international
racer to capture a
Southwick victory.
Crestview Inc. was
established in 1983 by
neighbors-turned-friends
Bernie LeDuc and John
Dziengelewski, after the
duo purchased a pair of
dump trucks to serve as
subcontractors for
various companies across
Massachusetts and
Connecticut.
Dziengelewski’s
family-owned Crestview
Dairy Farm in Southwick
served as the company’s
original home base and
ultimately fostered the
business’ name.
Eventually, Crestview
Construction and
Trucking grew with the
addition of heavy
equipment and an
expansion into
residential jobs. From
there, the company
expanded even further
into commercial building
and infrastructure and
is now one of
Southwick’s most
prominent and highly
regarded small
businesses. Entering its
41st year of operation,
Crestview Inc. is also a
multi-generational
company as LeDuc’s son,
Brian, and
Dziengelewski’s son,
Aaron, each play large
roles within the company
and will continue its
legacy.
“‘Big John’
[Dziengelewski], the
entire Crestview family,
and I are thrilled to
once again be the title
sponsor of the Southwick
Pro Motocross National,”
said Crestview Inc.’s
Brian LeDuc. “The Wick
338 team, led by four
generations of the
Johnson family, and our
Crestview team share
common goals and values
in bringing the very
best racing experience
to our small town of
Southwick.”
