Dillian Tremellen won the 2011 4-stroke
B Class aboard his Honda TRX450R ATV |
Morehead, KY (8/18/2011) - After
some really impressive finishes at Unadilla and
Redbud the entire Media Allstar Team was super
excited about the season finale at Loretta Lynn’s
Ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN. Each and every year
racers make the trip to Loretta’s hoping
to achieve glory… some succeed….some
fail. This year was no different; with one of
the largest racer turnouts of the season one thing
was certain…nothing was going to come easy!
For the first time all season Team Media Allstars
had at least 90% of its roster in attendance
at a single event. The return of both Bailey
Howard and Brandon Benlien from early season
injuries gave the team a solid 14 riders to
attack the Central Tennessee soil with. The
Team got off on great note Saturday morning
as Dylan Tremellen #940 rocketed off the line
in the 16-24 class and took the first moto win
of the weekend. The rest of Dylan’s weekend
wasn’t as fortunate as he battled mechanical
issues for the first time this season. Still
the 2011 4-stroke B champion tested the waters
in Production A at Loretta Lynn’s and
produced a solid 8-3 performance and took 5th
overall, thus showing us all that Championship
#4 for Dylan may occur as early as next season
as he makes the step up into the A classes on
a permanent basis.

Another rider that will be making a jump in
2012 is Piketon, OH’s Jake McGraw #83.
Jake came into Loretta’s with a 10 point
lead in the 4-stroke A class and desperately
needed a solid finish to clinch the Championship.
In typical Jake McGraw fashion he took matters
into his own hands and went 1-1 for 1st overall!
Jake also wrapped up 2nd overall in the Open
A class with a solid 5-3 and 4th place finish.
After Red Bud Nick Lepkoske #28 had put himself
in position to steal the Open C class championship.
All he needed was a solid finish and a little
luck. Nick went 1-2 for 2nd at Loretta’s
and as fate would have it won the class Championship
by a mere 2 points. Calen McGinty #33 put in
some solid motos in Tennessee. Calen stayed
consistent by going 3-3 for 3rd overall in Production
B and 2-3 for 2nd in Open B. Those finishes
were good enough to give him 2nd and 3rd for
the year respectively.
Austin McGraw #114 also finished the season
strong in the 4-stroke B class earning 6-3 moto
scores to take 4th overall. That was also good
enough to give him 4th for the year in 4-stroke
B. The #52 machine of Ryan Wheeler looked impressive
all weekend as he went 6-1 for 3rd in Production
B and 4-7 for 6th in 450B.
Dan Hoisington #71 had a really strong showing
in the 450B class at Loretta’s. Dan took
the moto 1 win on Saturday and was leading on
the final lap of Sunday’s main when he
high sided and crashed. He finished up with
1-18 scores but he was half a track away from
taking his 3rd straight 450B overall.
Coming back from injuries is never easy but
both of our aforementioned riders Bailey Howard
#11 and Brandon Benlien #03 did a great job
of doing so. Bailey jumped up a class and went
11-8 for 9th overall in 4-stroke B. Brandon
just went out and showed everyone why he’s
a Media Allstar…he took the overall in
the Production B class by finishing 1-2. The
Production B main was a statement race for the
team, as our riders finished 1,2,3 and swept
the podium for the first time all season.
Josh Holley #7 continued to impress as he took
the 70 Single Speed win by going 1-1 on the
weekend.Matthew Holley #9 battled for a hard
earned 10th place overall in the 50 Sr class.
Dale #671 and Mark Batson #636 earned 8th and
12th place finishes in the stacked 30+ A/B class.

Allstars' Team Manager Chase Cunningham
placed fourth in the Open A Class Championship |
Chase Cunningham #419 also clinched the 25+
class championship by taking the win at Loretta’s.
Chase also went 3-4 for 3rd in the Open A class
which was good enough to move him into 4th place
for the year, only missing 3rd place by 2 points.
