Racer X Illustrated — October 2017

You know you’re living
right when a piece comes
off the valve cover gasket
with ten minutes to go in
a National moto and your
bike somehow makes it
to the fi nish line. That’s
what’s been happening for
Rockstar Energy Husqvar-
na Factory Racing’s Zach
Osborne as he tries to win
the Lucas Oil Pro Moto-
cross 250 Class title (to
accompany the 250SX East
Regional crown he earned
earlier this year). His points
lead seemed like it would
go up in smoke in the fi rst
moto at Spring Creek, but
he nursed his machine
to the fi nish line and held
on for eighth place. Bike
freshly prepped and ready
to go, Osborne won the
second moto going away.
