San Marcos, CA - Connexions Sports and Entertainment’s Josh Grant returned to action at round 5 of the AMA Toyota Motocross Championships Saturday night at Thunder Valley Raceway in Lakewood, Colorado. Grant raced to an incredible 2nd overall finish at the first night race ever for the sport. Returning from a level-five concussion sustained at the Las Vegas Supercross finale, the GEICO Powersports Honda rider showed blazing speed all weekend by throwing down the fastest time of the day on Friday qualifying and by leading 13 of 16 laps in moto two of the Lites class before finishing 2nd .
In the first moto, Grant ran a solid top 5 throughout the race and eventually finished in the 4th spot. In the second moto, Grant picked up the BTOSports.com Holeshot award and took off from the pack before succumbing to the pressure of points leader Ryan Villopoto at the end of lap 13, and finished the moto in a strong 2nd place. When asked about his weekend, Grant stated “I was just happy to be back at the races. The doctor told me to literally do nothing for a month, so that’s what I did. But I’ve been back on the bike for a little over a week now and I felt good out there all weekend.”
Round 6 of the AMA Toyota Motocross Championships return to action this 4th of July weekend for the 35th Annual Red Bud MX in Buchanan, Michigan.
