Tom Vialle, who has a win this year, is having a great season despite never riding these tracks

Budd’s Creek is one of the more historical rounds of the year, located just outside the nation’s capital. Deep rough, and rutted, this track puts the skills of the rider to the test and is a track that can shake up the points battle. Coming into the event, Hunter Lawrence leads but is only within a moto of Justin Cooper and not much further about the other top five. Mistakes have to be minimized, and riders have to bring their full potential, as every point counts in this position of the Championship.
