2002 High Point Chevy Trucks 125cc AMA Motocross Championship (Round 3 of 12)
21This is round 3 of the 2002 Chevy Trucks 125cc Motocross Championship from High Point Raceway in Mt. Morris, PA. This is the 1st of only 6 125cc Motocross races from 2002 that I have.
Returning 125cc contenders like rookies Billy Laninovich, James "Bubba" Stewart, Eric Sorby, and (125cc East SX champ) Chad Reed, former 250cc riders Larry Ward, Damon Huffman, and 5-time Arenacross champ Buddy Antunez, 125cc Sophomores Grant Langston and Steve Boniface, Branden Jesseman, Greg Schnell, Brock Sellards, 250cc Supercross rider Ernesto Fonseca, Michael Byrne, 125cc West SX champ Travis Preston, Chris Gosselaar, Matt Walker, and defending champ Mike Brown battle it out for the 2002 Chevy Trucks 125cc AMA Motocross Championship. This is Chad Reed's lone full season, and Ernesto Fonseca's last season in the 125cc class. Runner up in the series, Grant Langston does not make the trip to High Point due to an injured knee, which requires surgery and knocks him out for the next 7 rounds. Points leader, James Stewart, Jr. crashes in practice, twisting his own knee, and decides to wait until the last possible moment to determine whether or not he can race. This race marks Chad Reed's lone 125cc National win of his very short 125cc career, and the very first time an Australian citizen wins an American Motocross National.
Enjoy.
