The rolling hills of Delmont, Pennsylvania are the site of penultimate round of the 2012 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championships. Red Bull KTMs Ryan Dungey put the finishing touches on his second 450 National title weeks earlier at Unadilla, but plenty was still on the line as the series embarked on Pennsylvania for the second time in 2012.
Dungey would holeshot moto 1 with Davi Millsaps, Bobby Kiniry, Andrew Short, Mike Alessi and Nico Izzi in tow. Short quickly worked his way into second as Millsaps was left struggling to fend off Alessi, and Kiniry left pulling into the mechanics with an unspecified problem.
A revitalized Nico Izzi, in just his second race back from a back injury, made a big run early. Izzi had worked his way into fourth before crashing in the uphill triple triple section after the finish line. The early crash cost Izzi as he had to settle for eighth.
Up front, Dungey was methodically putting distance on Short, clicking off seconds as the laps ticked away. Meanwhile, JWR Josh Grant had quietly worked his way into fourth after getting around a shaky Millsaps.
Dungey would cruise to the moto win, his 15th of 17th. Short would capture second with Alessi rounding out the podium. Grant, Millsaps, Tyla Rattray, Jake Weimer, Izzi, Christian Craig and Kyle Chisholm rounded out the top-10.
