2005 Southwick 250cc AMA Motocross Championship (Round 3 of 12)

This is round 3 of the 2005 250cc AMA Motocross Championship presented by FMF from Motocross 338 in Southwick, MA.

Returning contenders like 2004 runner-up Chad Reed, 2-time runner-up Kevin Windham, John Dowd, David Vuillemin, Heath Voss, Michael Byrne, Nick Wey, Ernesto Fonseca, 250cc rookie and 2-time 125cc champ James Stewart, 2002 runner-up Tim Ferry, and 5-time defending 250cc MX champ Ricky Carmichael battle it out for the 2005 250cc AMA Motocross Championship presented by FMF. This series is dominated once again by Ricky Carmichael. After an injury ended his 2005 Supercross season, #27 Nick Wey makes his return to the MX series. Ricky Carmichael makes his 100th consecutive start at an AMA Motocross since his first 125cc race in 1996. Chad Reed wins his first 250cc moto of his career, which stops the 31-moto win streak from Ricky Carmichael, and marks Chad's first moto win since the first 125cc moto at Millville 2002. 1998 Southwick winner Doug Henry makes a one-off appearance aboard a YZ250 2-stroke. Local Massachusetts prodigy John Dowd scores his first overall podium since Southwick 2003 after telling Erin Bates in an interview that this Motocross season will be his farewell tour.

Enjoy.
