Tyler Hamrick is tied for sixth in the AMA ATV Motocross Pro-Am Class

Sunday in Pro Am Tyler was back on his Hamrick Racing / Baldwin Motorsports ride looking to make up some points. Hamrick was in heat 2, coming off the line in 3rd. Passed into 2nd and 3rd quickly and begin to set the cruise. Eventually he would have a run for his money but was able to hold off the pressure to the finish line for a Moto 1 win. In the second Moto, Hamrick came out in 3rd once again and would stick close to the battle over first the entire Moto. With 2 laps left the leaders had switched positions meaning all Hamrick had to do was get around 2nd for the overall.
