Millville, MN - The 2010 ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship is making its first trip to Spring Creek Motocross Track in Millville, Minnesota this weekend. Heading into Round 6, Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Josh Creamer has again taken the lead from his teammate and two time Defending Champion, Dustin Wimmer.

The Suzuki duo may have dominated so far, but Team Yamaha newcomer Thomas Brown and Baldwin Motorsports PEP's Josh Upperman are hoping Spring Creek will give them the chance to stay in the chase for the championship. The heated battle between Rockstar Makita Suzuki teammates Josh Creamer and Dustin Wimmer has been unmatched so far this season with the teammates constantly swapping the points leads between them. While Team Suzuki continues to battle each other, Team Motoworks Can-Am is still battling bad luck.

Chad Wienen suffered a broken steering component during Round 5, as well as several crashes throughout the season. His teammate John Natalie was passed in the last few feet before the finish line during Round 5, and has had to battle back from crashes and bad starts all season. Both riders are hoping to change their luck this weekend in Minnesota, and start battling for the win.

Spring Creek Motocross Track has been racing for 47 years, and will be hosting the ATV Motocross Championship for the first time ever this coming weekend. Racers and spectators alike are excited to enjoy the facility which includes a "Kid Zone" featuring a basketball court, volleyball, badminton, 4-square, a skate park, a Rainbow Play Set, a BMX course, and a sand beach off of the beautiful Spring Creek. Racers will be parking in the level campgrounds, and have access to air-conditioned flushing restrooms, and water fill-up stations. Spectators can also escape the heat in the air-conditioned concession area, including TV's with live lap times throughout the day.

The Spring Creek Pro track is roughly 1 mile long and made up mostly of loamy dirt, all except for the famous sand whoops. The track consists of mainly table tops, and several triples. The facility features an easily accessible Pro paddock and vendor's area.

Rain, Rain, and More Rain, is the story with Friday's practice cancelled, but racing went on Saturday, but more rain moved in Saturday evening, so things will surely start out sloppy, and hopefully the rain is over for the Pro racing on Sunday.

Good morning everyone. Pro-am Production should be getting underway in about 30 minutes. Unfortunately our coverage for this round may be limited as there is little, if any, cell service at the track. We are trying to get a connection going, so we will keep you updated.

has the rain stopped for today?

Raptorchick

The rain is supposed to be tapering off, but from what I was told, the track retains water and it doesn't drain well, so it could still be a mudfest out there.

Wow this was the 1st motocross national that my 10 year old son and I have gone to. I have gone to and raced in numerous EDT nationals. Its great to see some of these nationals moving up to the midwest.
I have one little discretion though, and someone correct me if I'm wrong. After the second moto all my son wanted to do is to meet some of the pros and get some autographs. I wont say some of the names, but the more recognized guys didnt seem like they had any time at all for this. I'm sorry but I believe that these kids that are involved with this sport are the future and should be catering to them if we want to keep this sport alive. The way it sounds the #'rs are down in motocross as well as they are in EDT.
I do want to give a great thanks to Keith Little though. This guy is a 1 man crew and still had time to talk to my son for 10-15 minutes. Although he had some mechanical issues he took time to talk to his fans. Perhaps some of these younger pros could take some notes from this guy. Although he got last he was 1st in my sons eyes that day.

i think just my opinion, that putting both motos in a day crowds the pro's time between motos and dosent give them as much time to deal with fan and such. i liked it better when it was split .

Glad to hear the good news about keith, he seems to be down and in a dry spell the last few years but he is still a great rider. just wish he could get the fire back in him he use to have. if your from the tt side you should see keith on a tt track, thats where he really shines.
