Racing's Casey Martin went 1-1 on the
day at PVR to take home his first ever
1st place overall for himself and Polaris
in the Pro-Am Ranks |
Minneapolis, MN (7/6/2010) - Polaris
Rath Rider Casey Martin continues his relentless
assault at the AMA ATV Motocross ATV National,
at Pleasure Valley, in Armagh, Penn. Martin
piloted his Outlaw 450 MXR to two first place
Motos winning the Pro Am Production class and
putting Polaris in the top position on the Podium.
Martin started his unstoppable charge early
by setting some of the fastest lap times in
practice. His Polaris Outlaw 450 MXR had been
dialed into near perfection by his mechanic
Dave Porter powered by a Baldwin Motorsports
motor, and with suspension expertise from
Fox Shox. The momentum this team is building
is undeniable this season and once again they
find themselves making a little history.
This was the first AMA Pro Am MX win for
the Factory Polaris/Rath Team. It was clear
Martin charged from the second that gate dropped
until he reached the checkers in both Moto's
going 1-1 and taking the overall win. Martin
currently sits in third place in the seasons
overall championship points standings.

When asked about his stellar performance
this weekend Martin stated, "It was awesome
to be able to put this Polaris on top, I knew
what I had to do this weekend and as the race
went on I knew my chances of winning were
there and I didn't want to get over excited.
I just kept reminding myself to ride smart
until the checkers flew. We have done all
the right things to this Polaris Outlaw, I
know I will finish out the year strong."
Dave Porter who has been Martin's mechanic
all season added, "In talking
with Daryl Rath I told him I had some really
good ideas that would put some
more power to the ground, we agreed and it
turned out my ideas were spot
on. I am excited for Martin, Polaris and Rath
Racing and myself for being
able to be part of something like this. Martin
works so hard and has always
had the best attitude, he is one of the best
if not the best rider I have
ever worked with."
Daryl Rath went on to add, "I spoke
to Casey Saturday night and he told me
he felt he had the speed after practice to
put together a win this weekend
and was going to make me proud. He did exactly
that, everybody on our team
should be proud, we have all worked very hard
to put together a winning
program for Polaris, our sponsors, Martin
and our team. I am comfortable
knowing that Porter will do what it takes
to keep Martin on the podium for
the remainder of this season."
Martin currently sits in third place in the
seasons overall championship
points standings for the Pro Am Production
Class. This class has been
stacked with competition with full gates and
qualifying every round. There
are currently three rounds remaining in this
series with the next showing
at the Unadilla, in New Berlin, NY, July 17-18.
