Kingsville, OH (3/13/2015) – John
“The Ironman” Natalie Jr’s debut
with Motorsport / Baldwin was highly anticipated
and the Ironman did not disappoint as he charged
his way into the ATV history books and made a huge
statement by winning the inaugural Fly Racing Daytona
ATV Supercross.
It was an incredible start to the 2015 ATV motocross
season for Motorsport / Baldwin's John Natalie
Jr taking his heat race win and the Pro main event
win in Daytona this week. Natalie’s strong
debut only confirmed that he was the right man
for the job for the 2015 racing season.

Natalie showed he had what it takes during the morning’s qualifying heats after he recorded fast and consistent lap times that gave him the heat win and first gate pick for the main event, which he credits to his new 2015 program. “My new program is incredibly important to me this year. When you are working with someone like Mark Baldwin, things just don’t break. He is amazing. All I have to do is stay focused on training and he makes sure the quad is going to finish races. It makes my job a lot easier,” said Natalie.
When the gate dropped for the first-ever Daytona ATV SX Pro Main event, John Natalie was ready for action. “I knew that getting a holeshot was key and I knew Mark Baldwin had everything set up so I could do just that,” said the Ironman.
Despite being pressured early in the race, Natalie stayed focused and held off the competition all the way to the checkered flag, winning the first-ever Fly Racing Daytona ATV Supercross Championship.

“I am extremely pumped. It’s Daytona,
the land of speed. Everything went great for me
out there. I did have to slow down a bit when
we got into lap traffic, but it worked out great
today. Mark Baldwin and Maxxis had me hooked up
so I didn’t have to work too hard to get
that holeshot. I am first ever to win at Daytona
and that’s one record that can’t be
broken,” said Natalie from the podium.
