Joe Byrd Quad Riding School's AMA ATV MX Season End Report

Union City, TN (9/11/2010) - The final round of the 2010 AMA ATV Motocross Championship saw Joe Byrd Quad Racing School's Travis Moore and Aaron Meyer finishing their season in the top ten in the points chase with Moore taking to the podium at Loretta Lynn's despite challenging track conditions.

Heavy rain wreaked havoc on the Pro-am qualifiers as deep mud and standing water covered the track, but it did not deter Travis Moore from winning his qualifying round. As the rain continued, the decision was made to reduce the Pro and Pro-am races to a one moto format, which seemed to suit Moore just fine as he charged off the line and fought hard to take the number three spot on the podium when it was all over and claim a respectable fourth place in the Pro-am Production points championship. "I have to thank Joe Byrd Quad Riding School, all of my sponsors and friends and family for a very successful season," said Moore.

Aaron Meyer, who placed second in the Pro-am Production qualifier encountered some mechanical issues, due to the wet weather, that slowed him down a bit, but did not stop him from finishing in the top ten and taking sixth in the points chase.

Dalton Millican took his first-ever Nationals win at round eleven in the 450 A class, giving him third in the year's end points. Millican also ended his season in fourth in points in the Production A class and is looking for a possible championship next season.

Joe Byrd Quad Racing School's Women's class racer, Adrienne Cooper, went 4-4 at Loretta's to finish third overall for the day and lay claim to third place in the points championship as well.

The foul weather did hinder the efforts of Joe Byrd as he made his return after an injury at round nine left him on the sidelines for round ten. Byrd looked solid and strong, but he would end up getting water in his motor, forcing him to call it a day. "It's been a tough season for me, but it makes me even more determined to come back next season and win!" said Byrd, who is eager to get another championship under his belt.

"I want to thank all of my sponsors for their support throughout the 2010 season. My team had a good year and I am hoping for even more success for the 2011 season," stated Byrd.

During the off season, Joe Byrd will be holding several riding schools, in the states and abroad, and he will be training hard in order to ensure a strong performance for the 2011 season where he will be competing for his third AMA ATV Motocross Pro Championship.
