Dustin Wimmer Regains ATV MX
Lead Going into Steel City
AMA ATV Motocross Nationals
- Round 5- Steel City - May 29-30, 2010
Delmont, PA (5/27/2010) - The
2010 ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship
roars into Steel City just as defending champion
Dustin Wimmer has regained the points lead. Heading
into Round 5, this season's competition has taken
an aggressive turn between the top runners. The
Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki teammates Wimmer and Josh
Creamer continue to lead, but are being pressured
by Round 4 winner, Baldwin Motorsports/PEP's Josh
Upperman and Motoworks/Can-Am's John Natalie and
Chad Wienen.
Upperman may be the man to beat this weekend
as the ATV Stampede heads to Delmont, PA. Coming
off of his win at Round 4, the Ohio native will
make a short drive to Steel City, the closest
event to his home. He is no stranger to success
at this event, where he finished on the podium
last year. Pennsylvania native John Natalie is
also hoping to take a little home track advantage
after more bad luck at the last round. Team Motoworks
Can-Am riders Natalie and Chad Wienen have been
battling mechanical failures as well as two crashes
that have involved both riders. Both riders need
a successful run at Steel City in order to continue
to chase the championship.
The Steel City track sits at the center of a
valley, utilizing the natural terrain and creating
one of the best tracks on the circuit for spectators.
The track consists of long up-hill and downhill
straight-aways, with doubles, triples, and table
tops. The facility features an easily accessible
Pro paddock and vendor's area.
Tickets on Sunday are $15 for fans ($10 for ages
5-11), and admission includes full pro pit access,
and an autograph session.
The pro class will feature two 20-minute races
on Sunday, taking place at noon and 3 p.m., with
the combined scores of both races determining
the overall winner.
The pro riders will run as part of a full schedule
of amateur racing, including classes for Youth,
Women and veteran riders. Amateurs will practice
on Friday and race on Saturday and Sunday. Pros
will practice on Saturday and race on Sunday.
To get to Steel City, take Route 66 North; turn
right onto Story Road, then follow signs .5 miles
to the track. For more information, head to www.steelcitymx.com
