Established: 1976
No track exhibits the variety of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross like The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts. This famous sandbox offers a look, feel, sound, and often even results unlike any other in the series. It’s the sand that makes all the difference.
Not only is Southwick the only full sand track in the series, it’s also unique to all other sand tracks around the world. Southwick’s sand is uniquely slippery in spots, with a deceivingly hard base. The lines form up differently than at other sand tracks. The only real way to master Southwick is through countless laps—and that’s where the locals come in to play the spoilers. Southwick hosts tons of regional races, and that breeds a local advantage stronger than at any other track. The history of the Southwick National is littered with New England privateers running with, and beating, the factory guys. The local fans are ready for such lightning to strike, too, and they’ll be hanging over the fences and going crazy if it happens.
The usual favorites in the championship will have to endure Southwick’s sand if they want the #1 plate. The track pushes bikes and bodies to the brink and ensures that only the toughest will survive. It’s a unique challenge filled with heartbreak and heroes—and plenty of witnesses to it all.

Motocross Racing is a family activity, and one of the most exciting features is the opportunity to camp out and have fun with your family and friends. However, if you are staying overnight in an RV or vehicle, or using a generator, you need to be aware of the dangers of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning. CO is a poisonous, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that can be released when burning gasoline, kerosene, oil, propane or wood.
Mind your vehicle and generator exhaust while in close proximity to your family and neighbors. Do not place your generator directly under a slide-out or under your vehicle, where the fumes can seep into the camper. Make sure all exhaust fumes are properly and fully vented, so that they do not become trapped or seep into your sleeping quarters. When sleeping in a van, car or truck, make sure the exhaust is unobstructed if you run the engine for heat. Even when sleeping outdoors under the stars, make sure you are not too close to an exhaust. Devastating consequences can result without proper ventilation.
What to do if you suspect someone has been poisoned
When you suspect CO poisoning, promptly taking the following actions can save lives:
- Move the victim immediately to fresh air in an open area.
- Call 911 and notify track officials immediately.
- Administer CPR if the victim has stopped breathing. (Be careful not to expose yourself to fatal levels of CO poisoning when administering CPR).
Know the dangers of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. For more information, please visit the United States Environmental Protection Agency page on Carbon Monoxide.
