June 6, 2009 - Wiseco John Penton - Millfield, OH
After the Somerset race I decided to head north to continue my training regimen in anticipation of the last half of the season. I spent many hours training and a lot of time focusing on my suspension and quad setup. Needless to say I headed into the Penton feeling more confident than ever. Saturday morning the weather was nearly perfect and as I headed to the line I was anxious to get the race underway.
I had yet another great jump off the line; my Yamaha powered to the first corner, allowing me to grab the holeshot. The first lap the top three riders swapped positions many times as we made our way through the course. My goal was to remain near the front and ride smart; I was confident this would put me up front in the last lap of the race. At the close of Lap one I was in third place right behind the leaders.

Top Pro-Am Contender Casey Martin joins forces with Factory Polaris/Rath Team Minneapolis MN (5/26/09) -Casey Martin officially threw his leg over his new factory-backed Polaris/Rath/Duro Team Outlaw 450MXR this past weekend, at the Steel City AMA MX National. Martin accepted the challenge of competing in a premier class on a new machine with determination, as he had only a few days to prepare for the race. When an unfortunate dirt bike incident sidelined Factory Polaris Rider Landon Hurst #179 for the remainder of the 2009 season, the search for an additional rider was on. Hurst, who has been part of the team since the beginning, will be missed under the team's tent. He has been a crucial part of helping in the progress of the team and is anxious to return and compete with his new teammate. |

Championship In Air As Wimmer Recovers Delmont, PA. (May 13, 2009) - Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki/Yoshimura factory rider Dustin Wimmer, the defending AMA Pro ATV Motocross Champion, is out of action as he recovers from an injury to his shoulder. With Wimmer out, Monster Kawasaki's Chad Wienen captured his first win of the season with 1-1 scores at the previous race at Sunset Ridge, and Honda's Joe Byrd took over the series points lead from Wimmer. It will be a last minute decision for Wimmer to race this weekend as the battle for the championship resumes at Steel City Raceway in Delmont, PA. The event also marks round five of the amateur portion of the National program. The event takes place at the Steel City Raceway, the legendary home of AMA Motocross for bikes, as well as the ATV Open, the invitation-only challenge race that runs in conjunction with the bikes on Labor Day Weekend. Wienen won the ATV Open last year, so he no doubt looks forward to getting back on Pennsylvania soil. |
