LUCAS OIL AMA PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP
ROUND 2 / MAY 26, 2018
GLEN HELEN RACEWAY / SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA
P78
250MX
Two races into the 2018 Lucas
Oil AMA Pro Motocross Cham-
pionships and already both the
250SX East and West Super-
cross Champions from this year
have won their first National. At
Glen Helen, Plessinger put in
a perfect day, going 1-1 for the
overall on a cool and overcast
day, setting the stage to chal-
lenge defending champion Zach
Osborne (Rockstar Energy
Husqvarna) for the title.
In the first moto, Osborne
technically got the holeshot,
but Plessinger took the lead
right away and began putting
distance on the field. Osborne
took second over on lap two,
but he couldn't do much with
Plessinger.
Plessinger, who qualified ninth
in the morning, had to deal with
pressure from Osborne as time
expired, but Osborne ended
up going down in a turn while
Plessinger raced away to the
moto-one win with 12 seconds
to spare over the defending
champ.
"That rut had blown out a little
Aaron Plessinger flat out dominated both 250MX motos.
