Rain and mud meant for sloppy conditions in the third round of the AMA/Chevy Trucks 125/250cc National Motocross Championship, but it didn’t prevent Yamaha’s David Vuillemin from scoring his second overall of the season in the 250cc class. KTM-mounted Kelly Smith, meanwhile, gave the European brand a victory in the 125cc National.
