The fifth round of the 2020 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship featured an intense afternoon of racing in both the 450 Class and 250 Class on America's Labor Day holiday. The iconic RedBud MX provided close racing throughout the day and completed the championship's first-ever doubleheader.
Premier class rookie Adam Cianciarulo showed everyone that his 2019 250 Class title was no fluke and that he's here to stay as the Monster Energy Kawasaki rider captured his first-ever 450 Class victory. Rocky Mountain ATV/MC-WPS-KTM's Blake Baggett put on an inspiring performance to win Moto 2 and finish second overall, while Zach Osborne ended the day third overall and extended his championship point lead to 28.
In the 250 Class, Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's RJ Hampshire collected two consistent moto results to earn his second career victory. Behind Hampshire, the title chase between GEICO Honda's Jeremy Martin and Monster Energy/Star/Yamaha Racing's Dylan Ferrandis grew even closer as the duo collided together in the opening moto. Ferrandis would end the day second overall, just ahead of his teammate Shane McElrath who won the opening moto. Martin rebounded for the Moto 2 win and fourth overall on the day. Ferrandis trails Martin by just nine points in the championship.
