MX Sports Pro Racing and Alli Sports have announced the 2014 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship calendar.

Making its highly anticipated return to Lucas Oil Pro Motocross, the Glen Helen National will kick off the season Saturday, 24 May, in San Bernardino, California.

The 12-round series will then make stops throughout the summer at premier motocross facilities in the country, while introducing a brand new venue in Indiana before concluding with the Utah National in Tooele, Utah on 23 August.

Joining the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship for the first time is the Midwest’s Indiana National in Crawfordsville, serving as the penultimate round in 2014. Lucas Oil Pro Motocross’ newest venue has played host to a round of the Grand National Cross Country Series for nearly 20 years.

Many of the series’ traditional stops return in 2014, including Hangtown, Thunder Valley, High Point, Budds Creek, RedBud, Spring Creek, Washougal and Unadilla.

Additionally, following two highly successful inaugural events, both the Tennessee and Utah Nationals return to the 2014 schedule.

“It has long been our goal to present the most legendary, spectacular tracks in American motocross on the schedule, as well as mixing in a few new facilities to add diversity to the schedule and new challenges for the best riders in the world,” said MX Sports Pro Racing president Davey Coombs.

“In 2013 we presented new rounds in Tennessee and Utah, both performed even better than we hoped. Now we look forward to yet another new venue in Indiana, as well as the return of the iconic Glen Helen Raceway in Southern California as the 2014 opener.

“Adding those events in with such premier motocross tracks as RedBud, Unadilla, Washougal, Hangtown and more, and you have the makings of an exciting summer of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross for fans all over the country.”
