SpringCreek Motocross Park in Millville, Minn. was the site for round seven of the 2010 AMA Pro Motocross Championship.  Spring Creek is known for steep elevation changes and the roughest section of sand whoops on the circuit.  The section is so tough it has its own mascot.  Each year for more than a decade a dedicated fan known as the Whoop Monster has donned his costume and cheered on the riders with horns, chainsaws (minus the chains), and signs.  It was the 20^th time the gate has fallen at Spring Creek for an AMA Pro Motocross event.

Mid-Ohio Raceway in Lexington, OH was the site for Round 6 of the AMA Road Racing Championship.

The weekend was full of ups and downs for Josh Herrin who claimed an exciting victory in race 1 of the Daytona Sportbike class, but suffered a heavy crash in race 2.  Herrin showed the heart of a champion by restarting his bike (which had just flipped violently through the air and was missing the left handlebar) and going on to claim a 19^th place finish.  Josh earned 2 points for his efforts in the second race and now leads the championship by those same 2 points.

In the SuperSport class, Joey Pascarella put in a measured ride to 6^th, which gave him enough points to clinch the West Division Championship.
