Bowling Green, KY - Last year at Ballance Moto X, Joe Byrd and Chad Wienen were able to cut in front of Wimmer on the podium. This season, Wimmer's biggest competition has been the # 44 of Chad Wienen, who looks strong with his new Can-Am. Wimmer is also seeing fierce competition out of his new teammate, # 9 Josh Creamer.
The event takes place at the Ballance Moto X track, designed by nine-time GNCC ATV National Champion Bill Ballance. The 1.3 mile, lighted track is made of natural terrain, and has been hosting the AMA ATV Motocross Championship since 2006. The track is challenging, but shouldn't come to any surprise to the riders. If Wimmer can improve, he'll have a solid base to the 2010 season.
Besides the top three riders of the season so far, other riders have stepped up to challenge. Motoworks Can-Am's John Natalie and Baldwin Motorsports PEP rider Josh Upperman both saw excellent results at Millcreek, with Natalie finishing fourth overall with 3-5 moto finishes. Upperman finished fifth overall with 2-6 moto finishes. Not to be left out of the mix is the likes of Walsh Racecraft's Jeremy Lawson, Yamaha's Thomas Brown, Joe Byrd Quad Riding School's Joe Byrd, and Media Allstar's Patrick Brown.
