This weekend’s Budds Creek round of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Series was a muddy mess after torrential rains moved in over the area on race day. Taking advantage of the situation was New Yorker and AutoTrader.com/Toyota/Yamaha’s Justin Barcia, who claimed his first career win in the 450 class in grand style. In the 250 class, Marvin Musquin took the top spot of the podium, amazingly after finishing seventh in the first moto, which shows just how chaotic the race was. Photographer Rob Koy put his rubber boots on and slogged through the muck to bring us these photos. Enjoy!
