Pell City, AL (6/28/06) –After
an exciting round of racing at Steel City Raceway where
the “Alabama Slammer” Keith Little lead the
ATV stampede to claim his first win of the year, the ATVA
Motocross Nationals heads south to Little’s home
state of Alabama for the Suzuki ATV Summer National at
Mill Creek Motocross Park in Pell City, AL on June 30,
July 1-2.
The fireworks will surely fly this fourth of July weekend
as Keith Little goes after back to back wins in front
of a hometown crowd, and the battle for the Pro National
Championship continues to heat up with the hot summer
temperatures as points leader, Joe Byrd, of Tennessee
along with runner up John Natalie Jr, of Pennsylvania
begin to lose their solid grip on the points lead after
the pair both experienced problems at Steel City, which
has opened the door for Yoshimura/Suzuki Team of Wisconsin’s
Doug Gust and Kentucky’s Jeremiah Jones. This
potent pair swapped Moto wins at Steel City with Jones
earning his fifth consecutive podium appearance as they
move to within striking distance of Joe Byrd in the
points lead with only five rounds remaining to determine
the 2006 Pro National Champion.
To kick off this fourth of July weekend of ATV racing,
the Pell City, AL Wal-Mart will be hosting an Open House
on Thursday June 29th (5:00 to 7:00pm), and this will
be one of the biggest autograph sessions of the year
with Lonestar Racing’s Keith Little, Team Honda’s
John Natalie Jr , and Team Suzuki / Yoshimura’s
Doug Gust & Jeremiah Jones all attending and bringing
their big rigs to the Wal-Mart parking lot. The Pell
City Mayor will be attending to welcome the Pros along
with the local radio station broadcasting live from
the event. There will be prizes and discount coupons
available for Sunday’s admission as well, so this
is one Open House you won’t want to miss.

will race on Saturday and Sunday, July 1-2. The pro
racers practice on Saturday. Pro racing begins at noon
on Sunday, July 2.
