It was the final round of the 2007 AMA MX Nationals, and Hepler pulled out a 4th overall on a long, rough track with a 5-5.

Getting off to a 3rd-place start in moto 1, a mistake sent him off the track and back to 7th. He quickly settled into 5th by the moto's end. In moto 2, Hepler's ride was strong and consistent, landing him another 5th-place finish.

Broc would like to thank all of his fans for all the support! Keep coming out to the races, and be sure to watch for Broc on the podium in the SX Lites.

Thanks to Carl Stone for sending these over.

It was the first time the AMA Motocross Nationals came to the Freestone County Raceway in Texas, and it was Broc Hepler's best ride of the year.

Grabbing the hole shot in the first moto, Hepler settled into a comfortable second, but was overtaken on the last stretch and came away with third place. In moto 2, another fantastic start led to another third place finish, awarding Hepler with second overall, and his first overall podium for the year.

The series concludes next week in San Bernardino, CA at Glen Helen.

It was another up and down day for Hepler at his home track in Delmont, PA.

Qualifying 2nd in practice, Hepler's confidence showed in the first moto. He got off to a 2nd-place start and soon made the move to take the lead. A mistake a few laps later cost him a place, but he quickly made up for it and secured the lead once more, holding on for the moto win.

Moto 2 started off well as Hepler started 6th and easily passed up to 2nd, which is all he would have needed for the overall. Then back luck struck as a crash set him back to 7th, then another crash took him out of the running all together.

Next week the series travels to Texas for round 11.

This past Saturday, Broc Hepler came away with a 5th overall in Millville, MN. Two mid-pack starts put Hepler in position to play catch-up in both motos.

In moto 1, he started outside the top 10 and worked his way into 5th by the end. Moto 2 was tougher, as Hepler started further back and passed up to a 7th place spot.

In 2 weeks, Broc will be racing at his hometown track as AMA Pro Motocross comes to Steel City Raceway in Delmont, PA -- August 25-26.

This weekend brought both good and bad for Hepler as the factory Yamaha rider looked strong in both motos.

Getting a good start the first moto, Hepler passed his way into fourth place and stayed there for the checkers. Hepler took the early lead away from Ryan Dungey in the second moto, but dropped to third later in the race. It looked as if Hepler would hold on for a third-place finish, but bike problems forced him off the track. Hepler took a DNF.

Hepler and the rest of the AMA Pro Motocross riders will enjoy a weekend off, then it's to Millville, MN the following weekend for round 9 of the series.

With mid-pack starts in both motos, Broc Hepler raced hard to finish 10th overall at Thunder Valley MX. He placed 11th in the first moto and 12th in moto 2.

AMA Pro Motocross heads north this weekend -- July 28-29 -- to Washougal.

In his first race back since the '06 Nationals, Broc Hepler finished a strong 6th overall at Unadilla.

A good start led him to a 3rd place finish in moto 1, but bad luck came his way in moto 2. A first turn crash set him back to dead last, but he charged hard to finish 15th.

The Motocross Lites race from Unadilla is set to be aired on the Speed Channel on Tuesday, July 24th, at 3:00pm.

Hepler looks to build momentum in the next round at Thunder Valley MX July 21-22.

Broc will be back on the track this weekend -- July 14-15 -- at Unadilla MX.
