WORTHAM, Tex. (May 28,
2008) – After a hugely successful rookie effort last season, Freestone
Country Raceway is excited to build upon what has quickly become one of
the top races of the AMA Toyota Motocross Championship Presented by FMF
with its Monster Energy Freestone Motocross National Presented by
Yamaha, Kicker Audio, and Berkey’s Plumbing on June 7-8. After serving
host to an impressive audience in just its first year, the
state-of-the-art facility in The sprawling landscape of the track layout allows
for some of the most exciting action the tour experiences all season.
With its wide racing surface, high quality soil, and a tremendous sand
section, the flowing track provides a variety of challenges and unique
characteristics for the world’s best motocross riders. With its vast
acreage, fans receive great opportunities to get up close and personal
with the on-track activities as well as enjoy some premier camping
opportunities. This season, track officials have taken even more
initiative to increase viewing access by adding more bleachers, infield
areas, and spectator berms. Last season, defending AMA Toyota Motocross
Champion Grant Langston of Factory Yamaha became the inaugural winner at
Freestone along with defending AMA Motocross Lites Champion Ryan
Villopoto of Monster Energy/Pro Circuit\Kawasaki. With the recent
injuries to Langston during the off season, the motocross faithful can
expect a new face on the top of the podium in 2008. After a fierce
battle with teammate Ben Townley in 2007, Villopoto welcomes the
challenges of new teammates Austin Stroupe and Brett Metcalfe as well as
Rockstar/Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey and Boost Mobile Yamaha of Troy’s
Jason Lawrence. Action kicks off for the Monster Energy/Yamaha
Freestone Motocross National on Saturday, with AMA Pro practice and
qualifying as well as a $5k pit bike race that evening, followed by live
entertainment. In addition, the Women’s Motocross Association (WMA)
competes in round two of its season. Four-time champion Jessica
Patterson, perennial front-runner Tarah Gieger, and rookie sensation
Ashley Fiolek will battle it out in two motos throughout the weekend,
beginning with moto one on Saturday and concluding with the second moto
on Sunday after the AMA Toyota Motocross Championship Presented by FMF. Ticket Information Advance Purchase
