MotoSport.com Washougal National Washougal MX Park - Washougal, Wash. - July 26
Washougal has hosted Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship events since 1980 and is currently in its third decade of hosting the Nationals in the Pacific Northwest.
Washougal is known for being one of the most beautiful, yet challenging tracks in the world and features several iconic obstacles, including Horsepower Hill.
This year's event will have a "Celebrate Our Heroes" theme to the festivities, honoring all of our country's service men and women. In the spirit of the afternoon, fans, riders and teams are all expected to be adorned in their patriotic best, whether it's camouflage or the iconic combination of red, white and blue.
In 33 years of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship competition at Washougal, only two international riders have captured an overall win - Chad Reed in the 450 Class in 2009 and Ben Townley in the 250 Class in 2007.
Poulsbo, Washington's Ryan Villopoto was the first rider from the Pacific Northwest to win at Washougal in the premier 450 Class. A pair of natives did claim victory in the 13 years of 500cc competition - Eric Eaton, of Tacoma, Washington in 1985 and Chuck Sun, of Sherwood, Oregon, at the inaugural event in 1980.
Ryan Dungey currently sits in second place behind Ricky Carmichael on the Pro Motocross All-Time Race Wins list with 29 victories in the 450 Class. James Stewart sits in fifth on the All-Time list with 20 victories in the 450 Class.
Through eight rounds, 450 Class points leader Ken Roczen maintains an incredible 1.75 finishing average. The 250 Class points leader, Jeremy Martin, holds a finishing average of 2.8.
