Rath
Racing's Casey Martin on his way to
his podium in Kentucky
|
Minneapolis, MN (4/21/2010) -
Rath Racing is on a roll! The weekend after
Daryl Rath and his Sportsman 850 XP EPS took
the "4x4 Open" points lead in GNCC,
Casey Martin and his Outlaw 450 hit the podium
with a second place
overall in the "Pro Am Production"
class, at the AMA National MX series' Ballance
Moto X, at Bowling Green, Kentucky.
As Casey stood on the podium he stated, "I
knew this is where we would get this bike,
it has been great working with Rath Racing
and Polaris in
putting together a winning program. Every
weekend I feel better and faster on this Outlaw
and I am looking forward to being up here
again. I also want to thank all the sponsors
behind us that have put in the effort with
their support to get us here."
Martin's weekend showed promise from the
beginning, where he laid down some
nice lap times and qualifying Motos. The Pro
Am Production classes are stacked with more
than double the riders contending in the Pro
Class and with time qualifying only putting
18 into the main a event, a LCQ was needed
to fill the gate. Martin's time in his practice
session moved him into the main events.
He piloted his Polaris Outlaw off the gate
and into the mix of front runners during Moto
1, running a solid Moto he clicked off laps
to finish in the third spot. Hoping for a
repeat of Moto 1 Martin had a good gate pick
and once again came out in the top five, he
continued to work his way forward and finished
with another third place putting him 3-3 for
the day and sending him to the podium on the
second step.
"Polaris is really excited about the
first Pro Am MX podium of the year,"
said Donna Beadle, race team manager for Polaris
Racing. "Casey has been working hard
to dial in his Outlaw 450 and this is just
the beginning of what we feel will be a successful
racing year for the team."
