🎥 AMA MX: High Point Highlights

7 years ago | Words: MX Sports Pro Racing | Photos: MX Sports Pro Racing/Jeff Kardas

The fourth round of the 2017 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, hosted the 41st annual Red Bull High Point National at the beautifully landscaped High Point Raceway, which served as the first east coast stop of the season. Following a breakthrough first career win at the previous round, RMATV/MC-WPS-KTM rider Blake Baggett kept the momentum rolling as he captured a second straight 450 Class victory, taking control of the championship points lead along with it. In the 250 Class, two-time champion and GEICO Honda rider Jeremy Martin emerged with his first win of the season. 

Australia’s Dean Ferris rode incredibly to take the runner-up position in his first ever Pro Motocross moto. Unfortunately, in Moto 2 he was affected by a first turn crash putting him back in 25th on the opening lap, he eventually climbed to 14th place to salvage an impressive 7th position overall.
