Reynoldsburg, OH (8/5/2010) -
Mushin Racing enjoyed a winning weekend at round
ten of the 2010 AMA ATV Motocross Championships,
as Chase Snapp and Brian Johnson both claimed
overall wins in their classes, while the Mushin
Racing Stimulus Package event proved to be a huge
success.
Approximately 400 people were in attendance
for the Mushin Racing/Red Bud event after Saturday’s
races. The “Stimulus Package” included
T-shirt and prize give away's, a limbo contest,
a BMX race on the mini track that also included
a bicycle give away. And then there was the
“Tycoon Typhoon”, which was a hurricane
simulator booth filled with about $3,000 in
cash that was quite literally up for grabs.

and everyone seemed to have a really good time.

could enjoy and I think we accomplished that.
Amy Ritchie did a great job and really helped
to make this a good event and I couldn’t
have done this without her,” stated team
owner, Scott Ward.
In addition to the success of Saturday night’s
festivities, the Mushin Racing team also had
a great weekend on the track with Brian Johnson
and Chase Snapp both taking class overall wins.

this year and we are very proud of him,”
stated Scott Ward.
