Pro ATV MX Racer, Joe Byrd, Injured & Still Races at Birch Creek

Union City, TN (5/5/2010) - Despite a nasty crash just days before round three of the 2010 AMA ATV Motocross Championships, an injured Joe Byrd still took on the challenge in order to salvage points and show a never-quit attitude that his sponsors have come to expect.

Just four days before he was supposed to be racing at Birch Creek in Danville, VA, Joe Byrd suffered a horrible wreck while practicing at his home in Union City, TN that left him with three fractured ribs in back and a couple of bruised ones in the front. Although he was in a great deal of pain, Byrd still managed to make his way around the track and pick up a few extra points. "The same thing has happened to me at about the same time for the last three years. It's really frustrating because I want to go out there and win. I have to apologize to my sponsors for not being able to go out there and put them on the podium," said Byrd disappointedly.

Over the next couple of weeks Joe Byrd will be recovering and is hoping to be able to compete at the next round that is scheduled for May 15th - 16th at Sunset Ridge in Walnut, IL.

Joe Byrd would like to thank all of his 2010 sponsors:
DASA, Walsh Racecraft, IMS Products, Fly Racing, Hinson Racing, Precision, Renthal, Tire Balls, Leatt, Tsubaki Chains, Powermadd, StreamLine Performace Braking, Rath Racing, Web Cams, Harkor Engineering, Custom Axis, Outwears, AlpineStar, DWT, Uni Air Filters, Scott USA, Quadtech, Quadsouth Films.
