AMA Pro ATV Motocross Championship Points Race
::Continued::

Yamaha / Ballance Racing's Thomas Brown holds down the fourth spot in the AMA ATV MX Pro Points race. After round 3, Brown has only finished outside of top 5 once aboard his Yamaha YFZ450R ATV

Yamaha/Ballance Racing’s Thomas Brown has worked the bugs out of his program and has seen good finishes in the last half of the season. Brown made the podium for the second time this year at round number eight at Sunday Creek and is currently rounding out the top five in points, but Can-Am’s Chase Snapp has been closing in. Brown has been in close contention with fellow racer Chase Snapp all season long and the pair has had some of the most heated and entertaining battles of the year, but Brown is determined to take a top five finish at the end of the season and has no intensions of letting Snapp get ahead of him.

Rookie pro, Chase Snapp had one goal at the beginning of the season and that was to make the podium. Snapp accomplished that goal at the midway point of the season and followed it up with an incredible performance at round eight by beating out seasoned pros, Jeremy Lawson and John Natalie, to take second overall.
“This has been a really good season for me so far. I’ve taken a couple of podium finishes and I feel good about that. I’m not afraid to mix it up out there and I’m going to do whatever it takes to get on the podium,” said Snapp.

JB Racing's Joel Hetrick is currently only 28 points outside top 5 in seventh place aboard his Honda TRX450R ATV

One of the most anticipated wins of the season came from none other than rookie pro, Joel Hetrick. At the start of the season, Hetrick was a favorite to find his way to the podium, and at round number nine, in the rough, hard-pack of Unadilla, Joel Hetrick stunned everyone, and gave everyone a glimpse of what is to come from him in the future as he took both moto wins, and the overall.

At Unadilla, Hetrick was in third off the line in moto one and made his way around Richard Pelchat and Nick DeNoble to take the lead in the fifth lap. After taking the lead, Josh Upperman and Jeremy Lawson were close behind him, and it looked as if Hetrick would have his hands full, but the number 88 Honda gave it everything he had and began to pull away from his competitors, finishing seven seconds ahead at the checkered flag.
