Jett Lawrence entered the weekend with the advantage, but a fifth-place finish in the opening moto put him on the defensive. Jett responded with a runner-up finish in Moto 2, but Hunter's sweep was enough to move him back into the lead. With the Budds Creek results, Hunter now holds a one-point advantage over Jett heading into next weekend's season finale at Ironman Raceway, setting up a winner-take-all championship showdown between the Honda teammates and brothers. Jorge Prado continued his strong late-season run with a second-place overall finish. The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider went 3-3 for his second consecutive overall podium and his fourth podium of the summer. Prado remains in search of his first Pro Motocross overall victory but has emerged as one of the championship's strongest riders during the final rounds. Haiden Deegan finished third overall with a 2-4 moto score, edging out Jett Lawrence for the final podium position.

Cole Davies finished second overall with a 1-3 score, while rookie Landen Gordon earned his first career overall podium with a 3-7 finish. The championship picture also changed dramatically. Kitchen entered Budds Creek with the points lead but suffered a difficult opening moto, finishing 14th after a crash and subsequent penalty. He rebounded with a runner-up finish in Moto 2, but could only manage fifth overall. Davies finished second overall and now leads the 250 championship by 14 points over Kitchen.","excerpt":"

Roberts, \u2018King of the Desert,\u2019 Dies at 84","content":"Off-road motorcycle racing has lost one of its most influential pioneers. J.N. Roberts, the legendary desert racer known as the \u201cKing of the Desert,\u201d died Tuesday, August 18, at his home in Helena, Montana. He was 84 Roberts, whose full name was James Nelson Roberts, was one of the defining figures of American desert racing during the 1960s and \u201970s. His success helped establish the lighter, two-stroke motorcycle as a dominant force in the desert and inspired generations of riders who followed.\r\n\r\nAmong Roberts\u2019 most notable accomplishments was winning the inaugural Mexican 1000 motorcycle race in 1967 alongside Malcolm Smith. The event would later become known as the Baja 1000. Roberts went on to win the Baja 1000 again, along with two Baja 500 victories and three Mint 400 wins. He also captured the legendary Barstow-to-Vegas race four consecutive times from 1968 through 1971. Perhaps most remarkably, Roberts won 27 consecutive desert races during one stretch of his career, cementing his reputation as one of the most dominant off-road racers of his era. He also represented the United States at the International Six Days Trial in 1971 and 1972.\r\n\r\nRoberts' racing career was closely tied to Husqvarna. While many of his competitors were riding larger four-stroke motorcycles, Roberts demonstrated the advantages of the lighter European two-strokes, developing a riding style that allowed him to maneuver through rough desert terrain with remarkable speed and precision.\r\n\r\nHis influence extended well beyond racing. Roberts also enjoyed a successful career as a Hollywood stuntman, working with legendary stunt coordinator and filmmaker Hal Needham. He performed motorcycle stunts and served as a double for actors including Paul Newman, with credits that included Sometimes a Great Notion<\/em>, The Blues Brothers<\/em>, National Lampoon's Vacation<\/em>, Scarface<\/em> and Days of Thunder<\/em>.\r\n\r\nRoberts' connection to Hollywood was also immortalized on screen. He appeared in On Any Sunday<\/em>, the landmark 1971 motorcycle documentary, and later in Dust to Glory<\/em>, which chronicled the Baja 1000 and featured Roberts returning to the race decades after his historic victory with Smith.\r\n\r\nHis accomplishments earned him induction into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2009.","excerpt":" Off-road motorcycle racing has lost one of its most influential pioneers.
