2009 AMA ATV Motocross Nationals #8 - Muddy Creek - ATV Race Coverage

Joe Byrd may look cool but I have no doubt he still gets nerves like the rest of us when he watches Heather race.

Adrienne Cooper would put together a good second moto and take 3rd, however in the end it would be Byrd, Natalie and Jones on the box

I can't recall being at a race at this location that didnt run pretty smooth ad this year was no exception. The track crews worked hard to keep things flowing and there wasn't ever much of a break all day long as moto after moto was run

I took a stroll down to the Pro pits to see what was going on. It was just about time for us to get our first glimpse of these guys on the track and see who had brought thier A game

Josh Creamer works on a few last minute adjustments before heading to the line. Creamer has been running strong and could easily see a win this round.

Cody Miller gets suited up as he to gets ready for the first practice session.

The Pro's were on the track and it was easy to see who had the speed. John Natalie was on fire out there and was running strong. He said they had made some changes to his machine and it sure looked like what ever they did was working!

I hadn't heard much about how Wimmers shoulder was doing since the last round, so I was eager to see him hit the track. It only took a few turns and everyone got to see that he was pretty much ready to turn this thing loose!

Byrd was still nursing his injury from what I could gather, although he sure didnt look like he was any slower then usual:p How these guys do what they do hurt is beyond me. Natalie told me that it's thier job, but it's more then that;)

Greg Gee is so easy to spot on his white Honda.
