2012 AMA ATV Motocross Nationals #9 Red Bud - Live ATV Race Coverage

[Raptorchick]

At the last round at Unadilla, Yamaha's Chad Wienen claimed another win, his fifth of the season, and extended his points lead even further over Can-Am/Motoworks' John Natalie, Jr. This weekend Natalie will surely be fired up and looking for redemption.

Unadilla also saw the return of 2010 Champion, Josh Creamer who came on strong and took the number two spot on the podium. Creamer is back in action again for Red Bud and he is definitely in the hunt for a win.

Weather conditions are good for this round. temps are in the 70's and supposed to top out around 80 for the day.

The schedule is a little behind today. the Pro-am unlimited class division 2 is wrapping up now and Pro's will be going soon.

[Raptorchick]

the national anthem is playing now so pro hot lap should be going in just a couple of minutes
