GRAND SLAM” CHAMPIONSHIP
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (May 8,
2008) -- Riders contesting the ITP
Tires/Moose Racing ATV National Motocross
Championship Series Presented by Parts Unlimited
will have a little something extra to shoot for
this season as the ATV Promoters Group (ATVPG)
unveils the ITP Tires Grand Slam Series. This
four-race championship within the National
Motocross Championship will award custom Gold,
Silver and Bronze medals to the top-three
overall finishers along with an extra “Grand”
($1,000) to the Pro winner at each event.
To be eligible, riders must compete in all
four remaining Showcase Events with “First Base”
at High Point Raceway in Mount Morris, Pa. (May
24-25); "Second Base" at Unadilla Valley Sports
in New Berlin, N.Y. (June 7-8); "Third Base" at
RedBud in Buchanan, Mich. (July 26-27); and the
"Home Run" at Loretta Lynn's Dirt Days in
Hurricane Mills, Tenn. (Aug. 9-10).
"We are excited to offer this addition to the
2008 racing season,” said Sam Gammon, ATVPG
Director. "The ITP Tires Grand Slam will make it
possible for riders to earn a little something
extra this season, while also providing a second
chance for riders who were either unable to
compete in our earlier rounds or had a rough
start to their racing season."
"ITP Tires is pleased to partner with the
ATVA on this meaningful and exciting program,"
said Craig Peterson of ITP Tires. "This program
will give significant rewards and accolades for
riders who participate in the most prestigious
events this season. We're thrilled to be a part
of it."
Riders must compete in all four races in
order to be eligible for the Grand Slam. The
final awards will be presented following Loretta
Lynn’s Dirt Days. The overall top three in each
of the 34 classes from Pro to Youth will earn
custom ITP Grand Slam medals.
The next race for the ITP Tires/Moose Racing
