Rocco Arno Jr, Josh Creamer, Josh Upperman

This trio battled hard the entire season in both the ProAm Prodution and ProAm Unlimited Class with Creamer claiming the win in Production with Upperman out front in the Unlimited Class.

Arno Jr finished out the season in the runner up spot in both class and all three riders plan on racing Pro next year, and I am sure their presence will be felt from watching them tearup the track this year.

Do you think Tantillo was happy about his Championship? Well he had good reason to celebrate after winning every race he entered in the class this season.

Fred Reiser, Aaron Meyer, Jake Anderson

Meyer was able to walk away with the championship after both Reiser and Anderson were forced to A Class after Round 9 due to racing locally in an A class, which disqualified them from future National B Class competition, but they still were able to hold onto their 2nd and 3rd place class finishes.

Mitch Reynolds was back on the stage to receive the ATV Sports "Amateur Rider of the Year" Peoples' Choice Award.

Daryn Capitena, Josh Chapman, Caleb Moore

Chapman won the Championship with four wins this season, but the points battle was tight between Capitena and Moore.

Capitena was on crutches for the banquet after injurying his leg at the 12 Hours of ATV America when he crashed on the MX track

MX 50cc Limited 4-8

The top 10 finishers included two young ladies with the same name Hannah, and either of them may be the next women’s champion in the future.
