Marvin Musquin dominated both Motos on Saturday for Round 8 of the 2017 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship series at Spring Creek for his first career sweep in the 450 class.

Dean Wilson finished a 450 career best second overall with (3-3) scores for his second straight podium moving him into fourth-place in the standings.
Jason Anderson sat out for the second straight round after trying to ride with injuries suffered in a practice crash a few weeks ago. He's dropped from third and in Championship contention just a few weeks ago to fifth-place and now 113 points from the lead.
In the 250 class, Joey Savatgy (1-2) grabbed his second overall of the season dominating Moto 1 and settling for second in Moto 2 behind points leader Zach Osborne (8-1) who finished third overall.
