BUCHANAN, Mich. -- Thousands of people from all over the country made the trip to the Red Bud Motocross Championship for the Fourth of July weekend.

The weekend kicked off with amateur races Friday night and professionals on Saturday.

Tucker Hibbert has been making a name for himself at Red Bud for years. But he says it's more about the environment than anything else.

"The fans are super pumped up and always cheering us on. Yelling Red Bud super loud," says Hibbert.

“I’ve been coming here since I was about 12 years old. I’m 37 now," says J.R. Zollers, who has sons racing this weekend.
