Millville, MN (7/5/2014) - After
a two year hiatus, the Mtn Dew ATV Motocross Championship
made its return to Millville, Minnesota to the famous
Spring Creek Motocross track for round six of the
2014 ATV motocross season, and despite the long
drive for many of the racers to the mid west, once
they arrived, it was well worth it for one of the
best track in the series, and there was plenty of
festivities throughout the weekend to make for an
enjoyable weekend for everyone.
While a storm moved in Saturday evening after
the second Pro moto, the weather remained pleasant
all weekend, and the track was in great condition
for the amateur racing action, which was intense
in the Pro-Am class despite several of the top
contenders missing from the lineup including,
Nick Moser, Cam Covil, and Brett Musick who were
out with injuries from round five.

While rain
was in the forecast all weekend at the
Spring Creek MX National, luckily after
on and off rain on Friday, the rest of
the weekend was dry besides a rain shower
that moved in after the second moto of
the pro race on Saturday

After a string of four straight fifth place finishes,
Root River Racing’s Sean Taylor not only claimed
his first podium finish of the year, he claimed
the overall win. It was perfect timing for Taylor
as he was also featured on the event t-shirt,
so all eyes was on the #39 as he went on to claim
a second place finish in moto one behind Nic Gennusa.

for third place in the Pro-am Championship points
race.
Yamaha / Wienen Motorsport’s Nic Gennusa avoided
the carnage in moto one to claim his first win
