Millfield, OH (7/4/2012) –
Round 7 of the 2012 AMA ATV Motocross National Championship
Series settled into the Sunday Creek MX facility
for yet another intense round of competition that
would be run under the hottest temperatures we have
seen thus far. The severe front that pushed into
the region Friday evening dealt many a serious blow
as power to over three million people was knocked
out as the area was hit by 80 mph winds! For the
Pro AM Production class, Cody Gibson would bring
his own brand of destruction as he rallied to both
moto wins with little in the way of anyone challenging
another dominating performance aboard his Walsh
Racecraft backed Suzuki.

Cole
Henry grabbed the Holeshot in Pro-Am Production
Moto 1 at Sunday Creek |
The gate dropped in moto one and it would be Can
Am mounted Cole Henry taking the holeshot as Gibson
settled in behind him. It would take less then a
lap for Gibson to over take the lead and put distance
between himself the rest of the field. Henry was
immediately under attack from Casey Martin who applied
some serious pressure on Henry as he tried to make
a pass for several laps. Martin finally did just
that and once again Henry found himself under assault
from Kyle Fix. Fix and Henry made contact and Henry
would quickly find himself over turned as the leaders
streaked away. When the checkered flag came out,
it was Gibson, Fix and Tyler Hamrick claiming the
top three positions.

Cody
Gibson grabbed AMA ATV MX Pro-Am Production
Moto two Holeshot |
The uphill start at Sunday Creek plays no favorites
however moto two would find Gibson taking the
holeshot and the lead as he quickly put distance
between himself and the battle that was raging
behind him. Martin and Fix soon settled the running
order for second place and the race quickly turned
into a battle of attrition as the near 100 degree
temperatures took its toll on the riders.

Race Craft's Cody Gibson swept Pro-Am Production
class by winning both Motos at AMA ATV MX
Round 7 |
Gibson would once again power his way to victory
clinching another perfect weekend going 1-1 in
Pro AM Production Class followed on the podium
by Casey Martin and Kyle Fix.
The general consensus from the podium is that
finishing behind Gibson is an accomplishment to
itself and rightfully so. What the results aren't
showing is the talent pool is intensifying each
round as the Pro Am Production class hones its
skills as they give chase to Gibson. One bobble
or miscue and you drop back several positions
as the competition is so incredible close marking
this premier class as one of the fan favorites
of the weekend.
