Can-Am's
Chase Snapp Battles for forth position
at Sunset Ridge MX
|
Tulsa, OK (5/10/2011) - Can-Am’s
Chase Snapp claimed a top five finish at Sunset
Ridge after a heated two-moto battle with Thomas
Brown that could easily be considered one of the
best battles of the 2011 AMA ATV Motocross Championship
series.
The weather in Walnut, IL was good and the track
conditions started out good as well, but did a
get a little rough and choppy due to the sandy
soil, however that didn’t seem to matter
much to Chase Snapp as he charged off the start
in moto one.
Can-Am’s Chase Snapp had his hands full
as he went toe to toe with Jeremy Lawson and Thomas
Brown in moto one. Snapp made his way around Lawson
and then came under fire from a charging Brown.

Battle with Thomas Brown Chase Snapp finished

“I stalled it coming out of a corner and
Thomas Brown caught up with me. We were really
battling, going back and forth and we ended up
connecting and we went back and forth a couple
more times before I was able to make it stick,”
stated Snapp, who took a fifth place finish in
moto one.
In moto two, Snapp missed a shift off the start,
but used an inside line to make up for it. “I
took this inside line that no one else was using
off the start and I was able to pass half of the
pack in the first two corners,” said Snapp.
Not long after his incredible start, Snapp was
under fire again from a charging Thomas Brown.

After an intense battle, Snapp fell back to fifth, where he would finish out

move before the checkered flag,” Snapp explained.
Chase Snapp’s solid motos had him rounding
out the top five overall for the day, his second
top five finish of the season. Snapp is also currently
holding down the number five spot in the pro points

“I really have to thank Ian at SSI Decals
and all of my sponsors for all of their support
this year. It has been a good season so far and
I am hoping to be on the podium before it’s
over,” stated Snapp.

Championships will be heading to Steel City in
Delmont, PA where Chase Snapp will be charging
hard in an attempt to take his first podium of
