Team ITP ATV motocross racers earned nine class wins and 17
total podium finishes at round two of the 2013 Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National
Championship series held in Tennessee
April 13-14. Pro racer Josh Ceamer, using the new ITP Quadcross MX2 front
tires, notched another top-five finish in the Pro class on Saturday while
William "Duck" Lloyd earned third place in the Pro-Am class on
Sunday.
"Team ITP racer support riders and our contingency
racers had a great weekend in Tennessee,"
said Pat McGuire of ITP's public relations/race support team. "With a total of
nine class victories and 17 podiums, I was very pleased with how well our
amateur racers performed on a challenging Muddy Creek track. We had William
Lloyd earn third in the Pro-Am class against a full gate of racers and ITP Pro
class racer Josh Creamer finish fourth overall."
Round two of the 2013 Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National
Championship series sanctioned by the AMA was held in near perfect conditions
at Muddy Creek in Blountville,
TN. Despite a rough course, Team
ITP racers excelled by winning nine classes and earning eight other podium
finishes. In the ATV Pro class Saturday, Josh Creamer and fellow ITP-backed pro
Jeffrey Rastrelli both finished in the top 10. Creamer posted a sixth-place
finish in moto one after a slow start. He passed seven riders to earn sixth.
The former ATV Pro class champion improved in moto two, earning third place.
His moto 6-3 combined moto score was good enough for fourth overall. Creamer is
currently fourth in Pro class points, just 11 points behind the leader.
Rastrelli ended up eighth overall and is also eighth in the Pro class point
standings.
"I didn't get the start I was looking for at all in moto
one, but I had to ride really smart to work my way through the field and make
passes as there were limited places to pass out on the track," said
Creamer.
Lloyd earned two podiums in Tennessee, taking third in the Pro-Am class
and sweeping both Junior 25 Plus class motos to earn the overall. Fellow Pro-Am
class racer Brent Sellers, who won third in Production A, was fifth in the
Pro-Am class using ITP tires. The Production A class win went to ITP-backed
Dalton Hicks, who also finished second in the 450 A class for his second
podium of the weekend.
In Schoolboy class action Haedyn Mickelson won both the
Senior (14-17) and Junior (13-15) Open classes and Blake Sarver won the Junior
(13-15) class. Chloe Buerster won her the Women's class and took over the
points lead. In the Girls 12-15 ranks, the win went to ITP racer Maddison
Guyer. ITP youth racers to post class victories were Sam Steckly in the 90 Open
(12-15) class and Brogan Guyer in the 90 CVT (8-15) class.
Other ITP-supported racers to earn class podiums were Jordan
Digby (second, 125 12-15), Alex Gillette (second in both 450C and Production C),
Benjamin Brocato (third, Production B; third, 4-Stroke B).
Round three of the ATV MX series is April 27-28, at Ballance
