Highlights: 2020 Guaranteed Rate Ironman National
Sunday, August 30, 2020 | 5:00 PM
The third round of the 2020 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship featured the season's most competitive afternoon of racing thus far, with compelling battles for victory across both the 450 Class and 250 Class. Indiana's Ironman Raceway serves as one of the most dynamic tracks on the championship schedule and it was no surprise to see the best riders in the world put their talents of full display at the Guaranteed Rate Ironman National.
Reigning three-time 450 Class Champion Eli Tomac found himself in unfamiliar territory coming into Indiana, sitting seventh in the championship standings and facing a 40-point deficit to leader Zach Osborne. As a result, Tomac and his Monster Energy Kawasaki squad entered the Ironman National looking to turn their season around, and they did just that. The Colorado native captured the 45th victory of his career, emphasized by an impressive Moto 2 win.
Over in the 250 Class, the intrigue of the early season title fight between GEICO Honda's Jeremy Martin and Monster Energy/Star/Yamaha Racing's Dylan Ferrandis took another turn when Ferrandis' dominant Moto 1 win was nullified by a first-turn crash in Moto 2 that left the point leader at the tail end of the field. While Martin was able to take full advantage of the opportunity and earn his second straight victory, Ferrandis was stellar in his recovery effort, salvaging both a runner-up finish and his points lead.
