2022 RED BUD NATIONAL PRE-RACE REPORT: TV SCHEDULE, INJURED LIST & MORE

We’re headed to the most American round of the 2022 circuit and one of our personal favorites, Red Buuuuuudddddddd! Located in Buchanan, Michigan, Red Bud is known to take place near or on 4th of July weekend, leading to fans wearing red, white, and blue and screaming at the top of their lungs as the gate drops. But this won’t be the only time we’ll see Red Bud this year as the track will also host Motocross de Nations later this year. We’re excited to witness some awesome battles once again as the premier class continues to offer exciting engagements while the 250 class is dominated by the two Australian brothers.
