MORGANTOWN, W.V. (August 19, 2009) - MX Sports Pro Racing has released the pre-entry list for this Saturday's Monster Energy Motocross National at Budds Creek MX Park in Mechanicsville, Md. The race serves as round 10 of the 2009 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship.
After making his return to motocross one week ago by racing in the 250 Class for the first time in a dozen years, GEICO Powersports Honda's Kevin Windham will move into the familiar 450 Class for this weekend's race. At the Monster Energy Kawasaki stable, the team's continued trend of new faces will continue as Jake Moss makes his debut for the factory team, moving on from the solid Troy Lee Designs Honda program that helped him to a breakout season.
The 250 Class also welcomes the return of a familiar face as Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's South African rider Tyla Rattray will compete in his first race since dislocating his thumb at RedBud in July. Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki will campaign two 250cc bikes for the first time in 2009 as Suzuki support rider Cole Seely joins the team for Budds Creek.
