Dunlop Riders Shine
in 2009 AMA ATV Motocross Championship Series
Opener
Buffalo, NY: Perfect weather and a packed
house at California’s Glen Helen Raceway greeted
the opening round of the 2009 AMA ATV Motocross
Championship series, and Dunlop riders made an
outstanding showing throughout a full day of
racing.
In Quadcross action, Can-Am pilot Jeremie
Warnia pulled off a most impressive double win
on the day in both the Open Pro and 450 Pro
Production classes. Fellow Can-Am rider Josh
Fredericks captured the runner-up spot and
Romain Couprie rounded out the Open Pro podium
on his Yamaha to give Dunlop the podium sweep.
Couprie likewise earned the third podium spot in
450 Pro Production, where four of the top 10
riders raced on Dunlop Quadmax Sport radial
tires. Other Quadcross events saw Dunlop racers
Dillon Zimmerman push his Can-Am to the win in
the 450 Production Expert class and Adrienne
Cooper nail down the runner-up spot in the 450
Production Intermediate class aboard a Honda.
The furious action in the two-moto ATV Pro
Motocross event saw Honda-mounted Joe Byrd chalk
up a hard-earned podium spot with 3-2 finishes
as three more Dunlop riders filled out the top
10: Byrd’s Honda-mounted protégé Clay Holmes
launched off his rookie season with an
impressive fifth place, while Can-Am rider
Jeremy Lawson took seventh and Josh Upperman
guided his Honda to ninth place.
The next stop for the AMA ATV Motocross
Championships in 2009 takes the series east to
Pell City, Alabama for the FMF Spring Nationals
at Mill Creek Raceway on March 21 and 22 where
the amateur classes will join the series with
their opening round of the season.
