Racing and NBC
Sports have an-
nounced the 12-round
schedule for the 2019
Lucas Oil Pro Moto-
cross Championship,
sanctioned by AMA
Pro Racing. The 48th
season is highlighted
by the addition of
a new venue, WW
Ranch Motocross
Park in Jacksonville,
Florida, which will host
the inaugural Florida
National on June 22.
The action will kick
off as it has for 12 of
the past 15 seasons,
with the Hangtown
Motocross Classic on
May 18, before travel-
ing across the country
and to every corner of
the U.S. on a cham-
pionship journey that
will visit 11 states.
WW Ranch Motocross Park will bring
the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Champion-
ship back to the state of Florida for the
first time since the 1997 season. The
Florida National will serve as the fifth
round of the season.
"The southeast has long been a
hotbed for the sport of motocross,
with a significant number of competi-
tors calling the Sunshine State home,
and we are committed to ensuring the
region has a presence in the Lucas Oil
Pro Motocross Championship," said
Davey Coombs, President of MX Sports
Pro Racing. "WW Ranch was a terrific
venue for the U.S. GP last year and
received rave reviews from both the
U.S. and European riders. It's always
been our hope to eventually make a re-
turn to Florida, and this track will surely
become an immediate favorite amongst
racers and fans alike." CN
The 2019 Lucas Oil
AMA Pro Motocross
schedule sees the
series return to
Florida for the first
time since 1997. It
replaces the Muddy
Creek National.
