Location: Freestone Raceway in Wortham, TX
Track owner/promoter Tony Miller has been around racing for a very long time. "I started with professional racing when I had my own road racing and flat track teams," Miller says. "Then, a few years later, my son Clayton started racing motocross and I gained a strong interest in the sport. In 2000, we built our first motocross track, which is known today as Freestone County Raceway.
"In 2007, we were given the opportunity to acquire Broome-Tioga's spot on the AMA Pro Motocross Championship schedule," Mills adds. "We jumped at the opportunity and built our second track on the facility, which is called Freestone Raceway."
Freestone is known for its unique track layout and for being demanding on the riders, due to both the track and the often-warm Texas weather. The 2008 race was like a survival test for the competitors, with James Stewart and Ryan Villopoto emerging victorious. Both would go on to win the AMA Motocross Championships in their respective classes. History repeated again in 2009 with very hot and demanding conditions.
