TOMAC Eli is having quite a first season with the Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing team. He won his second AMA Supercross Championship and then went on a mid-series tear to take over the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross points lead from Chase Sexton.

They have ten different teams lined up for the inaugural tour, plus they’re throwing big money at superstars like Ken Roczen and Chad Reed to participate (as well as a one-race cameo by Eli Tomac), but so far there’s been no direct involvement from any of the factory teams.
MILLCREEK For the past 22 years the McWilliams family has run the popular Alabama motocross track, hosting many big amateur and regional events. Unfortunately, it’s now set to host some 300 new homes, as a housing developer has purchased the property and has permanently shut down the track.
