ATV Open winner.
"In just one year, this race has grown
into Professional ATV Racing's premier annual
Championship event," said AMA ATV Race
Series Manager Harv Whipple. "The event's
invitational format is truly unique, allowing
the factories to choose their riders, which
enables us to pit the best of the best in
ATV racing against each other on Steel City's
tough and exciting track.
"This event is all about prestige,"
added Whipple. "Though teams compete
all season to win the coveted 11-race ATV
Motocross Championship, winning the ATV
Open is always front and center in their
minds...and winning it equals bragging rights."
