WHITE BEAR LAKE, Minn. (Aug. 23, 2007) -- The
2007 WPSA PowerSports ATV Tour Pro Riders'
Championships will come down the final race of
the year and will be decided at next month's
season finale. The event is scheduled for Sept.
15-16 at Field of Dreams in Boswell, Pa. A full

SuperQuad Pro 450
With his fourth SuperQuad Pro 450
victory this year last weekend in New Jersey,
John Natalie (No. 13 Elka, Maxxis/Honda) padded
a points lead he's held since Round 8 of the
Tour. Natalie now leads Dustin Wimmer (No. 191
MSR, Pro Taper, Yoshimura/Suzuki) by just 11
points. Wimmer, who has one victory and six
additional podiums, leads Chad Wienen (No. 44
Team Rockstar, MSR, Pro Taper, Yoshimura/Suzuki)
and Doug Gust (No. 55 Team Rockstar, MSR, Pro
Taper, Yoshimura/Suzuki) in a four-quad battle
for the title.
Meanwhile, last weekend, Suzuki came to
within one point of clinching its second
Manufacturers' Championship. A Suzuki quad
merely has to take the start in the Pennsylvania
final to nab the title.
QuadTerrain Pro Stock
Jesse West (No. 888 West Racing/Arctic
Cat) continues to hold the point in the
QuadTerrain Pro Stock standings. Scott Kilby
(No. 207 Warnert Racing/Can-Am) sits second, 15
points back, ahead of Rory Beckman (No. 10 Jack
Link's/Arctic Cat). Daryl Rath (No. 67 Jack
Link's/Arctic Cat), and Chris Borich (No. 2
Warnert Racing/Can-Am) sit fourth and fifth and
are the final two riders still in the hunt for
the title.
Can-Am clinched its second consecutive
Manufacturers' Championship at last weekend's
event. Can-Am has dominated the 2007 season,
winning eight out of the nine rounds completed.
