Torrance, Ca (8/3/2007) - American
Honda has won the Manufacturers Cup in the 2007 AMA
Pro ATV National MX Series. The award represents the
strength of a manufacturer’s efforts in the
AMA’s professional ATV racing program.
“For Honda to wrap up the Manufacturers Cup
with two races left shows their dedication to winning
races,” said AMA Pro ATV Series Manager Harv
Whipple. “Not only races but championships also,
as fellow Honda riders Joe Byrd and Jeremy Lawson
are the only two competitors who mathematically have
a chance at winning the championship in our inaugural
season.” Whipple added that the Manufacturers
Cup will be presented at the AMA Pro Racing awards
banquet in Las Vegas later this year.

“It is an honor to win the Manufacturers Cup,”
said Honda Press Manager Jon Row. “Honda’s
TRX450R is an incredible racing machine and both Joe
and Jeremy have done a fantastic job for Honda ATV
Racing this year. I want to thank every racer who
competes on the TRX450R and especially our Team Manager
Bruce Ogilvie, who has led Honda’s effort to
become the dominant force in ATV racing.”
According to AMA rules, points for the AMA Pro ATV
National MX Series Manufacturers Cup are awarded throughout
the season to the highest finishing rider on a particular
brand of ATV for each moto. Joe Byrd, Jeremy Lawson
and John Natalie were among the Honda Red Riders who
contributed points towards the prestigious award.
