The thundery forecast looked grim for Round 6 of the 2012 AMA Motocross Championship at Redbud on Saturday, as a dominant Ryan Dungey continued his winning streak after the demise of James Stewart going 1-1 once again to almost certainly cement the 2012 Championship. The red hot temperatures did not phase the 2010 Champion, and he won both races ahead of a struggling field. The 250 Lites saw the man with the edge this year dominate both races, Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Blake Baggett looked good as Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Justin Barcia held him close with a 2-2 result behind Baggett.
250 Lites Class
It was Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Marvin Musquin of KTM Red Bull USA with the hole-shot in race 1 but was soon overtaken by fellow Raptor Titanium sponsored rider Justin Barcia of the Geico Honda squad who charged into the lead. Musquin's team-mate Ken Roczen sat in third place, with Raptor Titanium's Eli Tomac of Geico Honda in fourth and Kyle Peters of Star Valli Yamaha in fifth. Baggett held back in sixth place but was soon to make his characteristic charge up through the pack which has been an extremely potent tactic for the Kawasaki man this year, and Saturday was no exception, dispatching rider after rider until he had hunted down the double East Lites Supercross Champion to clinch the win late in the race.
It was prolific hole-shotter Jessy Nelson first off the mark in race 2 followed by Raptor Titanium sponsored riders Wil Hahn of Geico Honda in second and Marvin Musquin in third. Baggett didn't waste any time securing the lead in this race though as he sprinted into the lead on lap 1. Soon after though Baggett made a mistake and surrendered the lead to Barcia, but Baggett was too strong on the day and soon retook the lead to go 1-1 and extend his championship points lead.

Dungey repeated his performance from race 1, leading every lap and securing the 1-1 result on the day to cement an almost certain 2012 Championship victory.
