Moto-Xperts' Casey Martin has won 5 out of 8 rounds of the AMA ATV Motocross Series after Sunday Creek MX

Lafayette, IN (7/5/2011) - Moto-Xperts’ Casey Martin captured his fifth Pro-am Production win of the season with teammate Aaron Meyer joining him on the podium in third at round number eight of the 2011 AMA ATV Motocross Championships this past weekend at Sunday Creek in Millfield, OH.

On Saturday the Moto-Xperts team tried their hand at the pro class to get in a little extra seat time. “It rained and the track was pretty muddy so we just went out there for some extra time on the track, but it was fun,” said Casey Martin.

Martin currently sits first in the ATV MX Pro-Am Production Class with 205 points

On Sunday is when the Moto-Xperts team put the hammer down with Casey Martin taking the win and extending his points lead. Martin grabbed the holeshot in the first moto and had plenty of company in the way of Jeffrey Rastrelli. Martin and Rastrelli battled it out and swapped positions with Martin falling back to second. Martin battled back and regained the lead and began to pull away, taking the moto one win.

In moto two, Martin again grabbed the holeshot. “I got the holeshot and Aaron was right behind me so I knew I could relax a little and I just put my head down and stayed focused,” said Martin, who recorded the fastest lap time of the race in lap three with a time of 01:36.312. Martin’s fast pace helped him to take the moto two win with almost a ten second lead over the competition and claim the top spot on the Pro-am Production podium. “Toby and all the guys at Moto-Xperts worked really hard this weekend and I can’t thank them enough for all they do,” said Martin.

If all goes well for Martin and he is able to take the overall win in the next two motos, he could wrap up the championship early. “I am really hoping to top the podium for the next couple of rounds because I think that will wrap things up for me and I’ll be able to give Moto-Xperts their first Pro-am Production championship,” said Martin.

Moto-Xperts / Dragon Racing Fuel's Aaron Meyer took third overall at Sunday creek aboard his Honda TRX450R ATV

Aaron Meyer who is currently third in the points race had a bit of bad luck this weekend but still managed to claim a podium finish. Meyer went down in the whoops section of the track in both the Pro-am qualifier and then again on Saturday during moto two of the Pro Production class, but Meyer wasn’t about to give up and was ready for action on Sunday. In the first moto Meyer was in the top five off the start and was looking solid, but in lap four, Meyer went down hard in the whoops. “I crashed again but I got back up and kept going and I was able to get back up to seventh,” said Meyer.

Moto two went much better for Meyer as he charged off the line in second right behind teammate Casey Martin. Meyer battled it out with Nick Moser and Jeffrey Rastrelli but was able to hold his ground and take a third place finish in moto two, giving him third overall for the day. “It felt good to be racing on my home state and finish on the podium. Moto-Xperts and Dragon Fuels did a great job this weekend and I’m hoping to put them on the podium again at Unadilla,” stated Meyer.

Round nine of the 2011 AMA ATV Motocross Championships will be heading to Unadilla in New Berlin, NY on July 16th – 17th where Casey Martin and Aaron Meyer will again be going for the podium.
