ATV Motocross Racing - Round 8 - Unadilla

2015 AMA ATV Motocross
Round 8 Links

New Berlin, NY (7/20/2015) – Round eight of the 2015 Mt. Dew AMA ATV Motocross National Championship Series returned to the historic Unadilla MX in New Berlin, NY on July 11-12th.

Known as the “home of horsepower,” with famous obstacles such as the “gravity cavity” and “sky shot,” Unadilla is always a highly anticipated stop of the series for racers and fans alike. After a season plagued with rainy weather, everyone was grateful for the sunny, blue skies that shone down on the rolling hills of New Berlin, NY for the weekend.

As always, the Pro-Am class was stacked with competition. Yamaha rider Nick Gennusa took the overall win and extended his points lead with his 2-1 moto finishes. In the first moto, Gennusa laid down the fastest lap of the class with a 206.851, but had to work his way up after a midpack start. Gunnusa ran out of time to catch the first place rider of Tyler Hamrick, but was sitting good going into the second moto. When the gate dropped on moto two, Gennusa quickly moved into the first place position, and stayed there until the checkered flag waved.

The number eight rider of Cam Covil rode his Honda to a second place overall in Pro-Am. After a third place finish in the first moto, Covil came out to take the lead early on in moto two. Covil put up a battle with class winner, Gennusa, but was overtaken on the third lap. Covil kept up a strong ride and remained in second place for the rest of the moto to land him the second place overall finish. Covil holds down fifth place in points with 115.

Root River Racing’s Sam Rowe rounded out the Pro Am podium with third place. In the first moto, Rowe finished fifth. Rowe improved on his moto one finish in the second moto, where he put in a solid third place ride, which earned him his third place overall finish on the day. “I crashed the Wednesday before Unadilla and my back is still really sore, so I was struggling on the track. I ended up getting third overall in Pro-Am. I was ecstatic about my finish considering I wasn’t 100%,” said Rowe. Rowe is currently in fourth place with 116 points, but he is just two points away from third place, so expect Rowe to be pushing for it in the upcoming two rounds.
