The AMA National Motocross Series returned following a one week break.

The series continues this weekend in Mechanicsville, Maryland for the Moto Tees Budd’s Creek National.

Coming from a 28th place grid position, Smith cut through the pack to score his first ever Moto2 podium with a 2nd place. The finish was even more special because it came in front of his hometown fans. However, he poor weather conditions didn’t appeal to teammate Mike DiMeglio, as he could only manage a 17th place finish.
