La Crosse, WI (5/23/2015) - Root River Racing’s Josh Upperman had his best finish of the season with a fourth place at round four of the 2015 Mt. Dew AMA ATV Motocross Championships at High Point Raceway’s ATV Stampede.

Conditions were good for Saturday’s Pro motos and some new sections added to the course were challenging, but Josh Upperman was ready for action.
In the first moto, Upperman was in mid-pack off the start but quickly started picking off the competition and worked up to the number six spot. Upperman pushed hard and moved into fourth place at the midway point of the race.

“It wasn’t the start I was looking for but I was able to make some passes, and I got up to fourth place. I felt good out there, and I was able to stay consistent and finish in fourth place,” said Upperman.

In moto two, Upperman was just outside the top five off the start and was soon battling it out for fifth place. Upperman moved into fifth at the midway point and battled into the number four spot, but in the final lap, Upperman went down after crashing on the uphill triple, which set him back a couple of spots and he crossed the finish line in sixth place.

“I felt really good out there. We made a couple of adjustments before moto two and it worked out. There were four of us all battling really hard, and I was able to finally get into fourth, but I ended up making a mistake and that cost me. Overall it was a good weekend and our results are improving each time, so hopefully next round we will be on the podium,” said Upperman.

Upperman’s consistency and improvement with each round has him currently holding down fifth in series Pro points. “I’m looking forward to Indiana. I am going to be training hard and keep trying to improve so we can get on the box,” said Upperman.

Round five of the 2015 Mt. Dew AMA ATV Motocross Championships heads to Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, IN on May 30th, where Root River Racing’s Josh Upperman will be going for the podium.
