Morgantown, WV (8/11/2008)
- A record 836 entries checked in for this weekend's
ATV Dirt Days at Loretta Lynn Ranch. The more
than 27% jump in entries from last year represent
the most this season for the ITP Tires/Moose
Racing AMA/ATVA National Championship Presented
by Parts Unlimited.
The previous record for this year was 732,
set in March at Millcreek Raceway in Alabama.
"This race traditionally attracts the
most riders of the season, but we're ecstatic
about the turnout," said Carrie Coombs
Russell, who heads up Racer Productions, this
weekend's promoter. "With high fuel prices
and other economic issues, these numbers are
even more telling and demonstrate that the
sport of ATV racing is still growing. In addition,
with support from OEMs, as well as our sponsors,
our team owners and riders, ATV racing is
certain to continue this unprecedented growth."
