AMA ATV Motocross Nationals Round #9 - Red Bud MX Buchanan, Michigan July 28, 2012

Just behind the leaders, Nick Moser and Tyler Hamrick were in an all out war for the fourth spot with Moser finally gaining some ground and taking the position. Gibson and Martin continued to pull ahead as Fix suddenly dropped off the pace and was soon sidelined with a left front flat taking him out of race! Moser was no in control of third as steam began pouring from his machine. Tyler Hamrick seized on the opportunity and was able to follow Gibson (1st) and Martin(2nd) over the finish line securing a podium spot with his 4-3 performance.

The battle for the Pro Am production win was well earned and hard fought with pure effort and mechanical demise helping to sort things out in the end. This was another example of how competitive and exciting this class has been all season long and sets up the 2013 season as being even more competitive with an even more talented field of racers that have put forth such skill and stamina to offer the fans one of the best and most competitive races of the weekend.

The Amateur classes were loaded with riders all setting their sights on a Red Bud victory. The challenging track would test both rider and their equipment as the weekends events rolled on. Chloe Buerster has been ripping the Women's class apart as of late and this round was no exception.

ITP's Chloe Buerster went 1-1 to win the Women's Class at RedBud

Buerster would have a gate full of talent to fend off as class Champion Adrienne Cooper was joined by Heather Byrd all looking to take the win. Buerster wasted no time in showing her stuff as she grabbed the holeshot and rocketed to both moto wins. She wasn't finished however, and rallied to a 2-2 in 4 Stroke B. With one round remaining, one has to start looking hard at her for being a real challenge for the class championship not only in the coveted Women's class, but in others as well.

Every class from the Youth ranks to the Pro's had unrivaled competition at this round and as the season winds down, it shows no signs of relenting. Looking to round ten shows another outstanding location at Loretta Lynn's Ranch and the fervor of the final round should bring out some of the best racing of the year and we hope to see you there!
