Local flavor will also abound this weekend as Patrick Brown and Rocco Arno, Jr. prepare to represent the Garden State. Arno (No. 101 NAC'S Racing, Curtis Sparks, ITP, Custom Axis/Yamaha) is in his rookie year of Pro competition, while Brown (No. 199 Factory Yamaha, Golden West Cycles, Ohlins, ITP/Yamaha) sits fourth in SuperQuad Pro 450 points.

John Natalie, Jr. is scheduled to return to competition this weekend, after recovering from a severely broken left thumb. The rider of the No. 13 Elka, HMF, Swift/Honda dominated the early stages of the Tour, winning the first two events and finished third and second, respectively, in Rounds 3 and 4.

In the rough-and-tumble QuadTerrain Challenge Pro Sock ranks, it's a three-way battle for the title, as Daryl Rath (No. 67 Rath Racing, Maxxis/Arctic Cat) remains atop the standings with two victories and two additional podium finishes. However, close behind is William Yokley and his privateer No. 23 Suzuki.
Though he missed the first race of the season, Yokley's three wins and three podiums have placed him just one marker behind Rath in points. Similarly, factory Can-Am rider Scott Kilby (No. 227 Maxxis, OMF/Can-Am) also missed the first race, but sits third, just 18 points back.

The Manufacturers' Championships have also taken on a fevered pitch. Suzuki leads Honda by eight points in the SuperQuad Pro 450 Series, while Can-Am sits first in the QuadTerrain standings, just two points ahead of Suzuki.

Also featured during the race weekend is an invitation-only Utility Terrain Challenge exhibition race. The events, which will run both Saturday and Sunday of the race weekend, will showcase four-wheel, two-seat utility vehicles on the big-air MX course.
