Sunday, August 25, 2019 | 3:45 PM
A highly competitive and captivating 2019 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship came to a thrilling conclusion just outside the racing mecca of Indianapolis, where Crawfordsville, Indiana's Ironman Raceway provided the setting for a showdown to capture the Gary Jones Cup in the 250 Class. Picture-perfect weather conditions and an energetic crowd created a stellar atmosphere for the fifth anniversary at Ironman, and the racing lived up to expectations.
Monster Energy/ Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Adam Cianciarulo and Monster Energy/Star/Yamaha Racing's Dylan Ferrandis entered the STACYC Stability Cycle Ironman National separated by 30 points. The two most successful riders in the 250 Class were both on their game, with the Frenchman doing exactly what he needed to do by posting an impressive 1-1 outing. However, Cianciarulo responded to capture his first professional title and end his time in the class in the most memorable way possible.
In the 450 Class, the "Big 3" of Monster Energy Kawasaki's Eli Tomac, Team Honda HRC's Ken Roczen, and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Marvin Musquin put on a show for the fans. All three riders showed why they're amongst the best in the world, but it was the newly crowned champion aboard the Kawasaki who emerged triumphant, as Tomac capped off his historic three-peat with a sixth victory.
It provided a fitting end to a season to remember for Kawasaki, which became the first manufacturer to sweep both class championships since 2011.
