- With a runner-up finish at Spring Creek, Ryan Villopoto has finished on the podium in eight of his nine career starts.

- Chad Reed and Blake Baggett boast a series-leading seven moto wins this season.
- Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki has won every 250 Class moto and overall of the 2011 season.
