LUCAS OIL AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP VOL. 51 ISSUE 26 JULY 1, 2014 P75 was so close that Webb actually rode up to the podium in celebra- tion before realizing that he didn't get the win. The momentum swung in a much different way for moto two, this time favoring Webb after 30 minutes plus two laps of racing. After falling .080 seconds short of his first career moto win, Webb came into the second moto with vengeance. The young gun man- aged to get out front by the end of the first lap, where he led all of 17 laps en route to his first career overall victory in Lucas Oil Pro Motocross. Once again, Baggett wasn't letting down as he caught up to the rear of Webb in the final moments. After several pass at- tempts, Baggett made a slight bobble that opened some space between he and Webb. Shortly thereafter, Baggett made contact with a lapped rider that forced him to the ground. As a result, Bogle moved into second, and the ordeal actually caused Pour- cel to crash as well. Bogle held on for second and Baggett came back to finish third. Webb became the 75th differ- ent rider to earn an overall victory in the 250 class with a career best 2-1 moto score. Webb's im- pressive ride brings him to within eight points of his teammate Mar- tin in the championship stand- ings. "I'm on cloud nine, I'm not go- ing to lie," Webb said. "I was beat- ing myself up when I got passed in the last turn [in moto one], but I was able to come back and get the job done." Trey Canard has been a model of consistency so far this season, but he wants a win.
