AMA ATV Motocross Nationals Round #6 - Steel City Delmont, PA May 21, 2011

Third through fifth place have all missed scoring opportunities in at least one round. Kelsey Dyer currently sits in the third spot and will have her hands full staying ahead of Samantha Cheetham who is close behind her in fourth place. Fifth place Megan Manshack is just a single point ahead Jamie Jones, but Manshack is done racing for the season, which will boost Jones into the top five. The Women’s class still has a lot of racing left and it will be interesting to see if Heather Byrd is ready to hand over the reigns to a new champion this season.

#10 Kelsey Dyer finished sixth at Steel City & is currently 3rd in the points race	#2 Jamie Jones is currently sixth in the Women's Class points race

Pro-Am Production is the main event for the Sunday ticket this year and has presented some awesome racing through the mid way point. Casey Martin has kept his Moto-Xpert’s Honda in the lead spot so far this year but Mark Madl is not going to hand anything over with out a fight. Madl is just two points behind Martin and has closed the gap over the past few rounds.

Moto-Xpert's #75 Casey Martin & #74 Aaron Meyer are off to a great start to the 2011 Pro-Am Production Class season with Martin currently leading the points race & Meyer is holding down the third spot

Aaron Meyer is third place in the points and is in a points battle with Jeffrey Rastrelli who is just three points behind him in fourth. Meyer and Rastrelli have both taken an overall in the first six rounds and both have made it clear that they are not done with the top spot on the podium. The season is early enough that any of the four riders can make a dash for the championship.

Ronnie Higgerson rounds out the top five in the class aboard his Suzuki taking advantage of racing both Saturday and Sunday. Jesse Barnes is six points back in the sixth place putting the pressure on Higgerson with some strong showings in the last few rounds. Nicholas Moser is holding steady in seventh place just ahead of Kyle Fix. Chad Reed is in ninth place with three racers tied for tenth just behind him. Cole Henry, Craig Porter and Ryan Henry are tied for tenth place and working hard to keep their spot in the top ten and climb higher if possible.
