It's called Steel City. It's in Delmont, Pennsylvania. And it's going to host the second to last round of the 2011 AMA National Motocross Championship Series - round 11.
Two names are standing out, as they are going to battle for the premiere Motocross class championship, most likely until the final moto next weekend at Pala Raceway MX in California. Who knows how fierce the competition will be between those two names - Ryan Villopoto and Ryan Dungey? They are separated by only eight points, with four 'motos' left to go.
Right after the race in Pala, they will head to France to compete as teammates, along with Blake Baggett and Team Manager Roger De Coster, as Team USA at the Motocross of Nations in St. Jean d'Angely, France, September 17 and 18. (Watch that entire weekend's event online here.)
Ryan Villopoto is currently leading the AMA National Motocross series in the " MX " class. Ryan Villopoto has won two regional Supercross titles, three AMA National Motocross Championships in the 250 MX Lites class, and recently won the 2011 AMA Supercross Series Championship.
Ryan Dungey is the defending (2010) AMA Motocross Champion. Ryan won the 2010 AMA Supercross Series Championship. Ryan won the 2009 AMA West Region Supercross title, and was the 2009 AMA National Motocross Champion in the 250 MX Lites class.
This should be an epic battle.
Saturday - Round 11 in Pennsylvania. Next Saturday, finale Round 12 in California. The following weekend, teammates in France for the prestigious MX of Nations.
