See below for details on how to watch all of the live-action this weekend: "I'm looking forward to racing in my home state this weekend at Thunder Valley. It's always fun when you get to compete in front of the home crowd. After feeling like my old self in Moto 2 this past weekend, it has me excited to back it up again this weekend and finish out the season at these last two nationals on a high note." - Eli Tomac "We're looking to have a bounce-back weekend at Lakewood. Obviously, I put myself in a great position last weekend to continue chopping down the points lead, but the incident in Moto 2 was out of my hands and a bummer deal all the way around. We only have four more motos to go, so there is only one option for these last four, win at all cost." - Adam Cianciarulo Source: Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A.
