    Pro Motocross Returns to RedBud: JT Weighs In on How the Iconic Venue Has Changed Over the Years

    Pro Motocross Returns to RedBud: JT Weighs In on How the Iconic Venue Has Changed Over the Years

     

    The gates are set to drop once again at RedBud MX, the crown jewel of American motocross, as the Pro Motocross Championship returns to Buchanan, Michigan for its highly anticipated round this Fourth of July weekend. Known for its electric atmosphere, massive jumps, and the roaring chant of “ReeeddBuuud!” echoing across the hills, the track is steeped in motocross history. And now, more than ever, the sport’s elite and fans alike are reflecting on how this legendary venue has evolved—both on and off the track.

    Among those lending perspective is former factory racer, television analyst, and industry veteran Jason Thomas (JT), who weighed in on the changes at RedBud and what they mean for the riders and the sport itself.

    “RedBud is the heart of American motocross. It’s always been the people’s track,” JT said. “But over the years, it’s matured in a way that matches the modern era—while still holding on to its grassroots soul.”

    From Grassroots Glory to World-Class Destination

    RedBud’s roots date back to 1972 when Gene and Nancy Ritchie first opened the facility with a simple mission: to create a rider-friendly track that respected the traditions of motocross. Over the years, it has become a staple of the AMA Pro Motocross series and an annual pilgrimage for fans and riders.

    While the track still maintains its signature layout—with iconic features like LaRocco’s Leap, one of the most massive jumps in motocross—the facility has undergone a steady transformation to keep pace with the evolving demands of the sport.

    “Back in the early 2000s, you could still feel the old-school flavor,” JT recalls. “Rough terrain, unpredictable ruts, and a layout that demanded raw skill and toughness. Today, the track is just as technical, but it’s evolved with better maintenance, enhanced safety features, and more refined line options. It’s a different animal now.”

    The Rise of Modern Racing Infrastructure

    In recent years, RedBud has significantly upgraded its infrastructure. Expanded pit areas, improved spectator facilities, digital timing systems, and enhanced media coverage have elevated the fan and racer experience. For JT, these changes reflect the broader shift in the sport toward professionalism and global relevance.

    “Motocross has gone from being a niche, daredevil sport to a polished, globally followed discipline. RedBud’s transformation mirrors that,” he explains. “They’ve managed to keep the raw racing spirit alive while giving the venue a world-class edge.”

    Hosting the 2018 Motocross of Nations was a turning point that pushed RedBud onto the international stage. That event showcased the venue’s ability to handle massive crowds, complex logistics, and high-pressure racing—all while delivering an unforgettable show.

    “After the ‘Nations, RedBud leveled up,” JT said. “Now, it’s not just the best track in America—it’s one of the best in the world.”

    How the Racing Has Changed

    As the venue has grown, so too has the style of racing. Riders today face a more physically demanding and strategic battle than ever before. Track prep is more precise, and race pace has intensified due to improvements in bike technology and rider conditioning.

    According to JT, that’s made RedBud both more exciting and more complex.

    “It used to be a test of endurance and grit. Now it’s that, plus precision, bike setup, and line strategy. The ruts get deeper, the bumps get sharper, and the margins for error are thinner,” he said. “The modern rider has to be a machine out there.”

    Still, JT emphasizes that the track’s personality remains intact. “RedBud still rewards heart. You see riders dig deep here—every single lap. The crowd feeds it. It’s magic.”

    Looking Ahead to Race Day

    As anticipation builds for the 2025 RedBud National, fans are bracing for a showdown in both the 250 and 450 classes. Championship battles are heating up, and with RedBud’s unpredictable nature, anything can happen.

    JT, who now calls races from the commentary booth, says fans should expect fireworks.

    “You’ve got riders who’ve never won here trying to make a name for themselves. Veterans trying to protect their turf. And then you’ve got RedBud itself—the great equalizer. That place doesn’t care who you are. It makes everyone earn it.”

    The Legacy Lives On

    In a sport defined by grit, speed, and tradition, RedBud remains a beacon—a place where legends are made and fans feel like family. And as JT so passionately puts it:

    “Tracks come and go. But RedBud? RedBud is forever.”
