Reynoldsburg, OH - (July 5, 2010) - The 2010
AMA-ATV Motocross Championship season has been a
slow, steady progression for Mushin Racing's Pro MX'er Cody Gibson. Like climbing a ladder, one
rung at a time, Gibson has continued his quest
to to keep Mushin Racing on the Pro presence
radar, especially after recovering from an early
season injury and nursing his ride back to his
potential form.
Out of the gate, reminiscent of his '09 form
when he won both national titles in the Pro/Am
classes, Gibson charged off the line at Round 8
of the 2010 Motocross Nationals in Armagh, PA at
Pleasure Valley MX on the 4th of July. In both
motos he headed around the holeshot in the top
three, a prime example of what's to come as the
series progresses and Gibson regains his health
and confidence.
When both Pro motos were in the Round 8 score
books, Gibson, after experiencing strong starts
but fading as the twenty minutes plus two lap
races progressed, managed to bring down his
second consecutive top ten overall finish in as
many rounds.
Mushin Racing's Thomas Brown continues to
highlight the team's commitment to consistency.
Brown, with two podiums on the season in the Pro
class at the 2010 AMA-ATV Motocross Championship
series, has found that on any given occasion all
his race factors will come together and he can,
and will, be a podium factor in each moto of
each event. At Pleasure Valley Brown pulled down
8-7 moto scores to finish 7th overall for the
event. After 8 of the 11 round season, he holds
onto the 6th place position in the overall
points standings, just twenty or so points out
of the top five.
Mushin Racing Youth
Claim 4 Pleasure Valley Podiums
Reynoldsburg, OH / July 5, 2010 / More and
more, Mushin Racing's youth team finds itself
standing on the podium at more and more events
of the 2010 AMA-ATV Motocross Championship
series. On the 4th of July at Pleasure Valley MX
in Armagh, PA during Round 8 of this year's
national series, Mushin Racing's Kodi Ward,
Tanner Stockton and Maci Devenport carried the
Mushin Racing colors to the podium in three
separate classes.
In the 90 Automatic Junior (8-11) class, Kodi
Ward put together 1-3 moto scores to finish the
event with a 2nd place finish overall. This
noted Wards second consecutive 2nd place finish
in as many rounds and, after missing two rounds
of this year's series due to an injury,
indicated his desire to continue to climb to the
top of the rankings. After 8 of 11 rounds he
found himself a mere 3 points out of 6th and a
meager 5 points away from notching himself into
the top five in the class overall series'
standings.
Tanner Stockton, a 90 Auto Senior (12-15)
class Mushin Racing competitor, brought down a
solid 3rd place overall finish in the class at
Pleasure Valley and continued his march toward a
top three ranking in the class. After the Armagh,
PA round, Stockton sat in 5th place in the
overall series' class standings, only 4 points
out of 4th.
She's got what it takes and, as the 2010 MX
Nationals head into the latter rounds of the
season, she appears to be on a brutal mission of
agitating numerous young male egos. Competing in
the predominately male infested youth classes,
Maci Devenport shows no indications of allowing
the boys to get the best of her. At Pleasure
Valley MX during Round 8 of the 2010 AMA-ATV
Motocross Championship series, Devenport romped
and stomped her way to a 2nd place overall
finish in the 90 Auto Senior (12-15) class and
elevated her overall series' ranking in the
class from 3rd to 1st. To add injury to insult
to her male counterparts, she also pulled in a
3rd place overall finish in the 90 CVT (8-15)
class.
