2002 Steel City Chevy Trucks 125cc AMA Motocross Championship (Final Round)
17This is the 12th and final round of the 2002 Chevy Trucks 125cc Motocross Championship from Steel City Raceway in Delmont, PA.
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 duke it out for the 2002 Chevy Trucks 125cc Motocross Championship. This is Chad Reed's lone full season, and Ernesto Fonseca's last season in the 125cc class. James Stewart goes for a record 10th overall win of the 2002 season, thus breaking the tie with Ricky Carmichael's 125cc record of 9 overall wins in a single season, which was set back in 1999 -- RC's final full 125cc MX season. This race marks the final 125cc Motocross for Chad Reed and Ernesto Fonseca, for they would be racing in the 250cc class full-time for 2003 and beyond.
Enjoy.
NOTE: I do have this race posted in 2 parts, but I've decided to redo it using the video editor just for the fun of it; do not worry -- those 2 parts I posted are not going to leave YouTube.
