Gary Jones (born April 22, 1952) is an American former professional motocross and desert racer.[1] He competed in the AMA Motocross Championships from 1971 to 1976. Jones is notable for winning the inaugural AMA 250cc motocross national championship in 1972. Jones then successfully defended his national championship in 1973 and 1974, winning three consecutive 250cc motocross national championships while competing on three different brands of motorcycles, a feat which has never been repeated in AMA motocross history.[2][3] He was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2000.[1]
