Ontario, CA (5/3/2013) -Team ITP racers earned six class overall victories and a total of 17 class podium finishes at round three of the 2013 AMA Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship series in Kentucky. ITP-backed Pro racer Josh Creamer finished fourth in the ATV Pro class. In the 2013 National Hare and Hound Series, DirtFirst Racing's Andy Lagzdins, riding with ITP tires, won round five held in Lucerne Valley, Calif.

"We had a great weekend in Kentucky, despite the rain and heavy mud," said Pat McGuire, Public Relations / Race Support.

These results are about the determination of our racers and the capabilities of our tires."
