San Bernardino, CA (3/25/2007) – With a strong 1-1 double moto sweep, defending ITP/Moose AMA Pro ATV National Champion Joe Byrd returned to his winning ways at round two of the 2007 series today at Glen Helen Raceway in California.

The Glen Helen event featured perfect weather and track conditions, with sunny skies and temperatures in the high 70s. California native Kory Ellis logged the fastest practice lap times on his Suzuki, but with four riders within one second on times, the fans braced themselves for a big pro showdown once the motos began.

Byrd snagged the first moto ATVRiders.com Holeshot, with Ellis and Jeremy Lawson right behind. Natalie steadily made his way through the pack to move into second, and Ellis held on for a third-place podium finish in the moto.

Byrd nailed the ATVRiders.com Holeshot again in moto two over Natalie and Keith Little, and this time he would face a challenge as Chad Wienen charged from a fifth-place start into the lead. Mechanical troubles would slow him just two laps later, putting Byrd out front again. Gust outdueled Natalie to take the runner-up spot, with "The Ironman" holding on for third.

#44 Chad Wienen made a last minute engine swap before Moto Two and after taking the lead a broken coil wire ended yet another run for the Podium
#55 Doug Gust charged his way to the Podium in Moto Two by passing John Natalie Jr to take over 2nd Place
