The 2021 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship opened to what seemed like a brand-new world—or at least more like the world we all used to live and race in before March 2020

Like pretty much everything else these past 15 or so months, the 2021 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship started with a bunch of question marks. Would the series start on time or would it be postponed time and again like 2020? Would the factories be able to send their teams? Would all the top riders show up? Would Hangtown and Unadilla be able to open back up? What about High Point and Southwick? Would fans be allowed to attend the races? Such is the world we’ve been living in ever since COVID-19 reared its ugly head in March of last year.
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
