Tremellen went 8-8 in the motos to record the
historic finish. Despite high temperatures and
a get-off during qualifying, Tremellen powered
through and was consistent throughout the weekend.
He now sits ninth in points, only two points out
of eighth with three races left this season.
“I just ran my own races this weekend,” said
Tremellen. “I’m really happy about the finish
and I’m excited to get to Unadilla because that’s
my favorite track. We’re getting close every race
and things are going great. It was an awesome
weekend.”
Tremellen was running a new Hoosier tire during
the event that helped with the track’s notorious
sandy surface. Tremellen appreciates how Hoosier
works with their athletes to develop new tires.

“After the race, I stayed at the track to test
five sets of new tires,” said Tremellen. “Hoosier
has some really cool stuff coming out as far as
compounds and sidewalls. It’s awesome that they
are working with the people that actually run
the tires. They are an amazing company to work
with.”
Outfitted in custom Canvas MX gear, with EKS
goggles, and Deft Family gloves, Tremellen is
now halfway through a season running the new gear.
He definitively approves of the gears lightweight
construction and durability.
“The gear is awesome,” said Tremellen. “With
my previous gear companies we always had problems
tearing the knees out of the pants, but I still
have the same pair of Canvas MX pants I started
the season with. Plus I look awesome with my sponsors
printed into the fabric. It’s super lightweight,
which definitely helped with the high temperatures
we were dealing with all weekend.”
Tremellen and the rest of the Root River team
will back on track at the next ATV Motocross race,
scheduled for July 7-8 at Unadilla MX in New Berlin,
NY.
