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

[Pappy]

If you have never been to a national, it is very hard to explain the sounds and sense of speed these guys run at especially at the start!

Wimmer was way back as the riders rip into this rythm section. I have to admit, I was quickly thinking Dustin may not be at 100% even with his faster qualifier award from saturday.

I try not to have a favorite rider, but I can't help for wanting a rider who had an injury to do well.

The field was now working a tight section and the dust kicked up just enough that i couldnt tell what was going on. When they came back up out of teh section, Jeremy Lawson had taken the lead!

[Pappy]

Gust was already pressuring Byrd for his position as the pair sails over a jump.

[Pappy]

Behind Gust and Byrd, the action was plain hectic with 4 riders going at it at every jump and turn. Wimmer had moved up and was now in the mix but well behind the leaders

[Pappy]

Lawson looked to be checking out as he had that Can Am in the wind!

[Pappy]

Gust was now trailing Lawson as he assumed second

[Pappy]

Lawson had clear track ahead and was looking as good as I had ever seen him. This was now his race to lose!

[Pappy]

Wimmer was now in 5th and looked to be picking up speed

[Pappy]

Lawson looked like he was on rails and was really laying down some incredible laps as he held the lead
