MORGANTOWN,
W.Va. (July 22,
2022) – The
50th Anniversary of the
Lucas Oil Pro Motocross
Championship,
sanctioned by AMA Pro
Racing, will make its
anticipated return to
the West Coast, where
the scenic Pacific
Northwest will host
Round 8 of the 2022
season. The tree-lined
landscape of
Washington’s picturesque
Washougal MX Park will
serve as the next test
for the world’s best
riders on Saturday, July
23, for the
MotoSport.com Washougal
National, presented by
Peterson CAT. A full
slate of live broadcast
coverage will kick off
with the debut of Fast
Lap Qualifying on
MAVTV Motorsports
Network, in addition
to streaming on
“MAVTV on FloRacing”,
and will be followed by
four consecutive hours
of racing with two motos
apiece for the 250 Class
and 450 Class.
Fittingly, the annual
visit to the Pacific
Northwest will also
include a native of the
region stepping into the
role of All-Star Analyst
at Washougal, as
Washington’s own Ryan
Villopoto will join host
and lead commentator
Jason Weigandt in the
broadcast booth. A
member of the “Class of
2021” for the AMA
Motorcycle Hall of Fame,
Villopoto is the most
decorated racer to come
from the “PNW,” with an
impressive five combined
titles in the Lucas Oil
Pro Motocross
Championship. He began
his career with three
consecutive 250 Class
titles from 2006-2008
and made a successful
move into the 450 Class,
where he earned a pair
of championships during
the 2011 and 2013
seasons. If not for
injuries, Villopoto
could have amassed an
even larger title haul,
but he was forced to
miss multiple summers
while on the mend.
Despite his hardships,
Villopoto will forever
carry the distinction of
an undefeated
championship record, as
he won the title in each
and every full season he
contested. When he
stepped away from
full-time competition in
2014, Villopoto had
earned 31 total wins (12
in the 450 Class; 19 in
the 250 Class), which is
good enough for ninth
all-time in Pro
Motocross history, and
also collected 55 career
podiums (24 in the 450
Class, 31 in the 250
Class). In recent years,
Villopoto has served as
an ambassador for Yamaha
and has contested
multiple 125cc
exhibition races at
Lucas Oil Pro Motocross
Championship events.
