Motocross: Racers Crowned At Inaugural Lucas Oil JuniorMotoX

Cycle News Staff | May 16, 2016

The inaugural Lucas Oil JuniorMotoX, presented by Monster Energy attracted the top youth racers to compete for wins in 22 classes inside the Lazy E Arena on Saturday, May 14. The participants had positive feedback for the racetrack that was created with extensive input from Jerry Masterpool to create a challenging, safe layout that provided multiple lines. And the dirt lived up to the billing as some of the best dirt on the planet for motocross. The event featured a live webcast produced by the Lucas Oil Racing TV production team and the podium finishers were greeted by former Miss Supercross Diana Dahlgren for interviews. A great bonus for the winners.

“After one day of practice and two days of racing, the track provided exciting race action and no serious injuries,” said Eric Peronnard, the co-creator of the JuniorMotoX. “I am so thankful to the racers, families and sponsors that trusted us to create an event worth their participation and I am very proud of the team of people that put so much effort into making this event a great success.”

There were 21 classes and one special class to cap off the event named the Jesse Cup. The top 8 finishers in the two Supermini classes were invited to compete in the final race of the evening to honor the late Jesse Masterpool. Monster Kawasaki Team Green’s Lance Kobusch made up for an off night in the two Supermini classes to come back and win the Jesse Cup over Jeremy Ryan and Carter Biese. And Ty Masterpool, Jesse’s younger brother, finished fourth after taking a win in the Mini Senior 2 12-14 class earlier in the evening. The entire event was a great tribute to Jesse.

Other notable class winners included Jett Reynolds, Joey Crown, Jake Masterpool, Matthew Lablanc, Ryder Difrancesco, Jordan Bailey, Jarrett Frye and Jordan Jarvis.

There will be a one hour feature TV show schedule to air on MAVTV within a few weeks. Keep an eye on the www.juniormotox.com website for updates.

Plans are already under way for the second annual Lucas Oil JuniorMotoX.
