ATV Pro MX Championship Finale
This Weekend at Loretta Lynn Ranch
Morgantown, WV (8/12/2010) -
The 2010 ITP Tires/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross
Championship Presented by Parts Unlimited is headed
to the famous Loretta Lynn Ranch. This event,
known as ATV Dirt Days, marks round eleven, the
final round of AMA Pro Racing as well as AMA National
Amateur Racing, and also the final round of the
North Challenge. Josh Creamer of Rockstar Makita
Suzuki continues to lead the points, and is just
one moto away from sealing the 2010 championship.
Creamer leads by 40 points over his teammate and
two-time defending champion, Dustin Wimmer. The
2010 Championship will be decided by the final
two motos of racing, and the 2010 champion will
be crowned this weekend.
The highly competitive Suzuki teammates Josh
Creamer and Dustin Wimmer have
been battling all season long, and these riders
would maintain first and
second in points even if they didn't race this
upcoming weekend. Creamer
has had a season that most riders dream of. Finishing
top 3 overall every
round this season was just part of what made this
year so successful for
the rider. Creamer rode each race with a level
of maturity we didn't see
from the rider last year, and put him in position
to become the 2010
Champion.
Impossible is not a word that Dustin Wimmer wants
to hear right now.
Sitting 40 points behind Creamer, Wimmer has to
win both motos to even be
in contention for the championship. For most riders,
being second in
points would be a dream come true, but for Wimmer,
it's just not first.
The two time defending champion has just two more
motos to defend the
title.
Motoworks Can-Am rider Chad Wienen and Baldwin
Motorsports/ PEPS Josh
Upperman are now tied for third place in points.
Both riders want that
third place overall badly. Wienen has struggled
this season with some bad
crashes and mechanical failures, but has been
able to come back strong in
the second part of the year. Upperman is still
considered a new comer to
the pro class, but after this season, he's an
established front runner.
Upperman earned his first career overall win this
year, and despite a few
mechanical issues, has had the best season of
his career.
The event takes place at the legendary Loretta
Lynn Ranch in Hurricane
Mills, TN. Not only is the facility owned by the
world famous 'Coal Miners
Daughter', but it is also the oldest race on the
ATV National Circuit. The
motocross track holds only three races per year,
including the AMA Amateur
Nationals for motorcycles, as well as a Grand
National Cross Country
event, and of course the final round of racing
for America's Largest ATV
Racing Series, ATV Motocross.
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 the track from Nashville, take I-40
West 70 miles to Exit 143.
Turn right and follow Route 13 North 7 miles to
the Ranch on the left. For
