Can-Am Warnert
Racing’s John Natalie Comes on Strong at Glen
Helen
Devore, CA – Can-Am Warnert Racing’ John
Natalie came on strong at the Pro only season
opener of the 2009 AMA ATV Motocross
Championship, taking a top five finish in moto
one and showing he means business.
The track conditions at Glen Helen were dry,
which caused the sandy soil to become very rough
and whooped out through the course of the day
and that definitely showed who had been training
hard in the off season and who hadn’t. It was
obvious that John Natalie had taken extra
efforts in the off season to make sure he was in
tiptop shape.
In the first moto John appeared to get a good
start off the line, unfortunately he ended up
getting stuck behind a pile up in the first turn
and fell back to almost last place. John put his
head down and made an amazing charge up through
the ranks to finish his moto in fifth place.
John also rode consistently in moto two despite
the incredible rough track that put other riders
out of contention. John finished in sixth place
overall and has every intension of being on the
podium for round two, as does teammate Cody
Miller.
“I had some bad luck out there, but that
makes me want to work even harder next time. I’m
hoping for a top five finish, but what I really
want is to take my first Pro win in Alabama,”
said an optimistic Cody Miller.
Both John and Cody will be working hard in
the next two weeks and they will both be
fighting for a spot on the podium in Pell City,
Alabama on March 21-22 where Mill Creek, a
favorite track among many racers, will be the
hosting facility for the event.
