How to Watch Spring Creek National

Pro Motocross returns for round 7 of the championship this Saturday for the Spring Creek National.

Spring Creek MX Park first joined the Pro Motocross Championship schedule during the 1983 season and has remained on the calendar every year since, for 44 consecutive years. The longest start straight in the sport gives way to a thrilling mix of technical sections like the infamous sand whoops, big air obstacles like Holy Schmidt, named after late Minnesota legend Donny Schmidt, and the ominous uphill and downhill challenge of Mount Martin, all of which combine to make Spring Creek not only one of the most demanding tracks in American motocross for racers, but also one of the most captivating venues for spectators. For the past four decades, the rural town of Millville has turned into the global epicenter of motocross for one weekend each summer, where its few hundred residents welcome tens of thousands of passionate race fans along with the most elite athletes and race teams on the planet.

Since 1988, the Martin family has called Spring Creek their home, residing just adjacent to the property. John and Greta Martin helped grow the track and National into the world-renowned event it is today and also fostered decorated racing careers for their sons, Alex and Jeremy, who are now ushering a second generation of family ownership. No moment exemplified the family legacy more than one of the sport’s most memorable finishes last summer, when Jeremy took the checkered flag at his home track in the final moto of his career. To add to the challenge facing racers this year, the infamous hillside centerpiece that bears the family’s name has been overhauled. Rather than challenging riders with the steepest and longest ascent and descent in the championship, Mount Martin has been transformed into a more technical section, bisected by a downhill s-turn that will split the descent into two parts, with the intent of adding even more passing opportunities.

As we enter the latter portion of the Pro Motocross schedule, the title chases are heating up. Jett Lawrence leads his brother, Hunter, by just one point. Meanwhile, the 250 championship is just as close, as Cole Davies leads Levi Kitchen by two.
