Team USA is quietly creeping up on its own win-streak record at the Motocross of Nations. The 1982 through1993 win streak—thirteen years—is the all-time standard for the event, but Team USA 2005 through 2010 has racked up six straight. If the team gets the win this weekend, they're past the halfway mark to matching their previous record.
