2019 Budds Creek Motocross | Entry List & Injury Report

2019 BUDDS CREEK MOTOCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE

It’s almost over. This weekend’s 2019 Budds Creek Motocross will be round eleven of the 2019 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross, which means there are only four motos left per class this summer. With two titles still to be determined and some riders still in search of a contract for future seasons, there’s a lot on the line and anything can happen. 

The Budds Creek track is another one of the long-standing stops on the Pro Motocross calendar, thanks to its tacky sand-clay soil mixture and a layout that goes up and down to steep hills. Will this be the last big test of a rider’s fitness this summer? Temperatures are forecasted to be around 90 degrees on Saturday and the ever-present East Coast humidity should definitely be a factor.

MX Sports has posted the provisional entry lists for the 250 and 450 classes, with a few new names joining the list of season-long contenders. Read through the roster, which is complete with notes for key riders.
