Armagh,
PA – Hometown hero
John Natalie, Jr. would top the podium at round
eight of the 2010 AMA ATV Motocross Championships
and give Can-Am their first overall victory, while
Josh Creamer would finish second on the podium,
increasing his points lead, and Jeremy Lawson would
make his first visit to the podium this season in
third.
Pleasure Valley was the hosting facility for
round eight and there were many track changes
since last year’s round. This year’s
track featured some big table top jumps, long
straights and an uphill rhythm section, adding
a technical element to the track. The weather
was great with temps in the 80’s and sunny
skies as racers headed to the starting line.

to take the moto one win despite incredible pressure
from Dustin Wimmer.

DWT's
John Natalie & Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer
nearly crashed when Natalie hit a hole,
which sent Natalie in front of Wimmer
as Natalie looked over his shoulder with
Wimmer running into the rear of Natalie.
Luckily for the pair, neither lost a position,
but it was a close call for the pair as
Natalie held on for the Moto One Win followed
by Wimmer
|
Natalie would come off the line in second in
moto two, but quickly take the lead away from
Josh Upperman. Natalie would hold his lead for
several laps before Josh Creamer began to challenge
for the lead. Knowing he would only have to finish
second to take the overall win, Natalie rode smart
and would go 1-2 to take the overall win of the
day.

“I have to thank my team and my fans for
being there. Everyone has been working really
hard and I couldn’t ask for anything more
right now. To take the win in my home state is
really special for me and I couldn’t be
happier,” stated Natalie.
