RJ Hampshires Gets RedBud Victory
HAMPSHIRE GRINDS HIS WAY TO VICTORY AT REDBUD MX
ROCKSTAR ENERGY HUSQVARNA FACTORY RACING TEAM EARNS SECOND-STRAIGHT WIN IN THE 250MX CLASS
The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team enjoyed its second-consecutive 250MX victory with a gritty performance by RJ Hampshire at Saturday’s RedBud MX National for Round 4 of the 2021 AMA Pro Motocross Championship.
It wasn’t an easy feat for Hampshire, who overcame his fair share of obstacles throughout the day, including lingering effects of an illness from the prior week. With a second-place start in Moto 1, Hampshire set himself up to overtake the lead on lap two and he held on for about three more laps before a quick tip-over dropped him back to second early on. Halfway through, Hampshire had charged his way back into the lead battle but he found himself back in third after going down in a corner. From there, Hampshire never let up as he clawed his way back to finish a close second in race one.
In Moto 2, Hampshire got off to a great start in third. Moving into second early on the second lap, he eventually overtook the lead on lap seven. However, another small crash dropped him back to second with about five laps to go and he fought hard to make up time in the final laps but it wasn’t enough to reclaim the race lead. With 2-2 finishes, Hampshire’s determination and grit earned him his first overall victory of the 2021 season.
“It was a special weekend for the boys, I’m stoked for this whole team and all the guys that believe in me,” Hampshire said. “To have what happened at High Point and then sit on the bike every day for two weeks, I was more than ready to come out and just destroy the competition. So, I brought that same attitude into this weekend – even though I was sick and under the weather, we showed up and kept fighting.”
Coming off his first career victory at the previous round, Jalek Swoll looked to carry that momentum back to the podium in Michigan. With a top-10 start in Moto 1, Swoll found himself on the ground more than once and he did his best to battle back to an eighth-place finish. In Moto 2, he put himself into a favorable top-five position off the start but a crash on lap three dropped him back to 15th early on. He fought hard for the remainder of the race to ultimately come away with 14th in the moto and 10th overall.
“I feel like today could have been good but I found myself on the ground too many times,” Swoll said. “It’s all good, I know I have the pace to do good things this season, so I’m just going to go back, get some rest and come back firing at Southwick. We’re just going to put it behind and keep having fun.”
It was an up-and-down day for Stilez Robertson, who took plenty of positives away from the fourth round. With a top-10 start in Moto 1, he charged into the top-five on lap two and battled up front for the first five laps. He ran into an issue with arm pump midway through, ultimately salvaging 12th in the first moto. In Moto 2, he grabbed another solid start in sixth and battled his way up to fourth early on, maintaining that position for the first half of the race. Unfortunately, he went down just after the halfway point and dropped a few spots to finish eighth. With combined moto scores of 12-8, Robertson claimed his best overall-finish of the season with eighth.
“Our speed isn’t bad, we just need to put it all together,” Robertson said. “Our starts are good and the bike was really good the second moto, so I can’t thank the team enough. I was running fourth and made a dumb mistake, tucked the front and ended up eighth. Next up is The Wick, so let’s have some fun!”
450MX
It was a tough break for Dean Wilson, who ended his day early following a crash at the end of Moto 1. With a 10th place start, Wilson put himself in a great battle inside the top-10 early on and he maintained a solid pace for most of the race. With two laps to go, Wilson underwent a crash on the tabletop, which resulted in some internal bruising, and he made the tough decision to sit out the second moto in order to heal up.
“It’s a disappointing way to end the weekend,” Wilson said. “We were looking for a good first moto and with just two laps to go, I drug pegs off a rut on the tabletop and I had to step over the bars. It happened so fast and I landed on my feet luckily but I bruised my inside organs a little bit. Unfortunately, I have to sit today out, which is hard to take because I want to get good finishes and keep getting better but unfortunately, we had this. We’ll see if we can make next weekend.”

JALEK SWOLL WINS FIRST-EVER 250MX OVERALL
JALEK SWOLL WINS FIRST-EVER 250MX OVERALL AT HIGH POINT NATIONAL
ROCKSTAR ENERGY HUSQVARNA FACTORY RACING’S RJ HAMPSHIRE SHOWS FLASHES OF BRILLIANCE AT ROUND 3
It was a monumental day for the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team as Jalek Swoll claimed his first-career win in the 250MX class following an impressive pair of 1-3 moto finishes at the High Point National. Held in Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania, the third round of the 2021 AMA Pro Motocross Championship delivered an exciting day of racing in the 250MX division with a strong performance from teammate RJ Hampshire as well.
Swoll had great momentum from the start of the day as he carried a sixth-place qualifying position into the start of Saturday’s motos. In Moto 1, Swoll shot off the line to assume the lead on lap one with his teammate Hampshire settling in behind him a few laps in. Swoll eventually got overtaken by Hampshire on lap four and he battled close behind for the next nine laps. When bad luck struck for Hampshire late in the race, Swoll was in a favorable position to reclaim the lead heading into the final laps and he finished strong to capture his first moto-win of the season. In Moto 2, Swoll put himself in a great position once again off the start as he battled for the lead early on. Eventually settling into third, Swoll kept a steady pace for the remainder of the race to ultimately land on the podium in race two. With season-best finishes of 1-3 on the day, Swoll earned his first overall win in Pennsylvania.
“To get my first outdoor podium and kick it off with a win is amazing,” Swoll said. “Right now, I just want to build off this, keep it going and try to do it again next weekend. I was actually so tired but I just dug deep – I knew I could do it; I’ve put in the hours and training for this. It wouldn’t be possible without all the people around me putting in the hard work. I’m at a loss for words right now.”
It was an up-and-down day for RJ Hampshire, who led nine of the 16 laps in Moto 1 before experiencing a bike issue that ended his race prematurely. With an almost last-place gate pick in Moto 2, Hampshire wasn’t able to get the best jump off the start and he got tangled up and went down in the first-corner chaos. Re-mounting at the back of the pack, Hampshire put on an early charge to get inside the top 20 by lap three and he continued to claw his way through the field. With an impressive climb, Hampshire was able to make his way up to an eighth-place finish in the second moto, salvaging 15th overall for the day.
“Man, what a day,” Hampshire said. “Moto 1 was honestly the best I’ve ever felt, just clicking them off, and it was cool to have Jalek up there with me going 1-2. Unfortunately, things happen and it’s tough but you kind of have to take it and try to build off it. I felt like today should have been a 1-1 day and we were onto something but I know we’re in a good spot, just need to keep our head up and looking forward to RedBud.”
Stilez Robertson got off to a 13th place start in Moto 1 and battled just outside the top-10 throughout the race. He made a move late in the race to overtake 12th, finishing there in Moto 1. In the second moto, he got off to a great start as he battled inside the top-five early on. However, shortly after passing into fourth, he went down in a corner and got stuck in the berm. It took him some time to get back going and he ultimately finished 16th in the race ad 14th overall for the day.
“The day had its ups and downs,” Robertson said. “In the first moto, I got a bad start and just didn’t ride very well. In the second moto, I got a good start and I was good for two laps and then went down and kind of got stuck on a berm. All-in-all, kind of a rough day but we’ll come out swinging for RedBud, it’s one of my favorite tracks so I’m excited.”
450MX
With both of his 450 cc teammates sidelined due to injury, Dean Wilson flew the flag solo in the premier class on Saturday. He didn’t get the best starts all day but he was able to make several passes in both motos to end the day with 12-12 moto scores, claiming 12th overall on the day.
“I felt that I had a little bit of improvement with my riding in the second moto and felt a little better,” Wilson said. “It’s not good to be outside the top-10 but we’re going to shoot to be there for the rest of this season and I’ve really got to work on my starts to make that a little bit easier. In the second moto, I came from 24th on the first lap, so I need to be better than that. Overall, not the best finishes but we’re healthy and moving onto the next race.”
