AMAIChevy Trucks U.S. MX Championship Series Round 1 : Glen Helen Raceway and I've been doing it since I was 10 years old. Definitely outdoor I need to work a little hard, and I'm willing to do that." Lusk finished a distance fourth, followed at a distance by Ferry, who was chased at the end by Greg Albertyn. Ferry's 3-5 put him on the Glen Helen podium. "The first moto went rea lIy good for me - good endurance: Ferry said of his day. "The second moto, right from the get-go, about the second or third lap, I didn't feel like I quite had the energy. So I was trying to conserve it and make it through the moto. Overall, I'm pretty happy and happy to be outdoors, because that's what I enjoy most." CN Helen""'., &I San anli.., ClIlifDn1i.

Upcoming Rounds: Round 2 - Sacramento, CA, May 18 Round 3 - Mount Morris, PA, May 25 AMA Chevy Trucks 125cc U.S. Mo=cross Championship Series BY SCOTT ROUSSEAU Round 1 : Glen Helen Raceway PHOTOS BY STEVE BRUHN Point:s 14 MAV21,2003' eye. e neVlls SAN BERNARDINO, CA, MAY 11 ith reigning AMA 125cc National MX Champion James Stewart Jr. sidelined due to injury, the Chevy Trucks 125cc U.S. Motocross Championship opener at Glen Helen Raceway took on even more significance as the 22,OOO-strong crowd watched to see who would emerge as the early favorite. When it was over, the results were basically the same: A J 25cc champion on a Kawasaki emerged with the overall win. In a scene somewhat reminiscent of those played out when he won the 2001 AMA 125cc National MX title, Team Pro Circuit/Kawasaki/Chevy Trucks' Mike Brown won the first moto and then battled with Red Bull KTM's Grant Langston in the second moto to secure the overall win via 1-2 finishes. In doing so, the 30-year-old Tennessean earned his fifth career 125cc National win and became the seventh rider to win the Glen Helen 125cc National in the 10-year history of the event. It was also Kawasaki's fifth Glen Helen 125 win, as Ricky Carmichael owned the event from 1997-99, and Stewart won the race last year. Brown rode with the grit of a champion in both motos, coming from behind to pressure Boost Mobile/Yamaha/Troy Racing's Brock Sellards in the first moto and inherit the lead after Sellards crashed.
