MOTOCROSS LUCAS OIL AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS ROUND 6 / JULY 1, 2017 REDBUD / BUCHANAN, MICHIGAN P64 in front of Grant, who grabbed a top-five in the moto despite the fact that he was not supposed to be racing. Behind Grant came Barcia, Bogle, Wilson, Seely and then Baggett, who passed both Craig (for 11th) and Canard (for 10th) on the final lap of the race, salvaging two valuable championship points. Tomac now leads the title chase headed to the sands of Southwick, Massachusetts, where he won last year. Baggett now trails by 13 points, and Anderson sits a further 12 points back, 15 points in front of former points leader Musquin. Musquin quietly settled into third, which netted him third overall on the day. "I wish I had better starts to- day because the speed was re- ally good," Musquin said. "Third overall is a really good result for me right now. I'm almost back where I belong. Hopefully we'll keep going like that and battle with the top four. Right now Tomac, Anderson, Baggett and me are the top four, so I want to be up there. Got third today. It's good." Peick continued his strong performances of late and grabbed fourth in the moto just more of those." Anderson's 4-2 score gave him second overall on the day. Anderson now has five straight podium overall finishes. "That first-turn pileup in the first moto was insane," Ander- son said. "I spent a lot of energy coming back up but was able to get fourth. Eli just got away again that second moto. I'm going to keep busting my butt and try to get him, but he's rid- ing good. Just excited to be up here." Marvin Musquin is getting back up to speed following his knee injury.
