AMA ATV Motocross Season Opener
at Mill Creek This Weekend
Pell City, AL (3/25/2010) -
The opening round of the 2010 ITP/Moose Racing
AMA ATV Motocross Championship presented by Parts
Unlimited will roar into the Millcreek Raceway
in Pell City, Alabama on March 26-28 along with
hundreds of competitors ready to see how they've
fared over the off-season. This event also features
the first round of the South Challenge.
Two-time Defending Champion Dustin Wimmer is
in top shape and will have his hands full with
his new Rockstar Makita Suzuki teammate, Josh
Creamer as well as 2009 runner up, Joe Byrd. Wimmer
will also be challenged by Chad Wienen who was
third overall in 2009 and has made the move to
the Motoworks Can-Am team, where he's already
secured a win at the Montreal Supercross. Although
Wimmer holds the number one plate despite a mid-season
injury, Wienen, Creamer and Byrd were all able
to take wins throughout 2009 demonstrating a competitive
and exciting beginning to the 2010 season.
The weekend also includes a full slate of amateur
racing, including classes for riders as young
as four-years-old, as well as veteran divisions
for riders over the age of 50. Practice, qualifying
and racing will take place on Saturday, with final
amateur and Pro motos taking place on Sunday.
Millcreek Raceway has become a favorite on the
tour, as the track features wide lanes, flowing
natural jumps and elevation changes. Tickets on
Sunday are $15 for fans ($10 for ages 6-11), and
admission includes full pro pit access, and an
autograph session.
To get to the track from Birmingham take I-20
East to Exit # 156; turn South and take first
road on the right which is Roberts Mill Rd. Track
is a short distance on the left.
