Logan Stanfield Scored a Podium finish in
his Pro-Am Debut |
After clinching the 450 A title at the last race,
Stanfield elected to step up to Pro Am. He went
3-3 in his debut in the class, finishing third
overall. In Open Pro Sport, he finished second
overall and is now in a numerical tie for first
in points.
“I was a little nervous and came last at the
start of the first Pro Am moto, but I picked up
my pace,” said Stanfield. “I got more comfortable
in the second moto, got a decent start and got
another third. I was really happy with the podium
and I didn’t want to make any mistakes. I was
super pumped. I’ve been working super hard with
Travis.”
Rain throughout the weekend made for rough going
on track. Stanfield’s Walsh Racecraft bike with
Elka Suspension and Maxxis Tires, however, withstood
the conditions and helped Stanfield earn the two
podiums.
“The Walsh bike was awesome,” said Stanfield.
“It was gnarly rough from all of the rain, so
the Elka Suspension worked perfectly and got me
through the rollers. My Maxxis tires were hooking
up.”

Cole Wuellenweber finished third in 450
C at Red Bud MX |
Fresh off sewing up the Open C title, Wuellenweber
set his sights on the 450 C championship. Wuellenweber
finished third overall in the class, driving through
the field in both motos to go 2-6. He’s now second
in 450 C points and has to win the final round
to clinch the title.
“I had difficulties with starts, but I managed
to get two good finishes,” said Wuellenweber.
“I had to pass a lot of really fast guys out there,
but the Maxxis Tires were hooking up great in
the mud and my Elka Shocks were eating up the
track.”

Alan Myers lost his seat at the start, but
he pushed thru to win the race without a
seat |
Myers recovered from a back injury sustained
at the last race to go 1-2 in Pro Am to secure
a second-place overall finish. In the first moto,
he snagged the holeshot, but lost his seat in
the first turn. Despite having to stand the entire
race, he finished a runaway first. In the second
moto, Myers recovered from a difficult first lap
to finish second.
“We had originally planned just to roll the track
for points, but I was feeling good on Sunday so
I decided to race,” said Myers. “I led every lap
of the first moto. In the second moto, I had difficulties
on the first lap, but I calmed it down a little
bit and let everyone settle in. I took second,
but the leader was just too far ahead. I was super
excited. I didn’t even expect to ride, so to come
out with a 1-2 is huge.”

Zack Decker made his return to racing at
Red Bud MX |
Decker also returned from injury and made a statement
by finishing on the podium in the Youth All Star
class. Though he crashed in practice in Friday,
Decker came back strong and scored a 3-3 in the
motos to finish third overall. He plans on running
both Schoolboy Sr. and Youth All Stars in the
season finale at Loretta’s.
“It felt pretty good to get back on track,” said
Decker. “The bike worked great. The Walsh/Maxxis/
Elka setup was on point all weekend. I’m heading
into Loretta’s to try to stay on four wheels and
do better than I did this weekend.”
Nine6Nine Motorsports will be ready to finish
out their dominant ATV Motocross season as the
series stages it’s 2018 finale at the Loretta
Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN. The races are
scheduled for August 11-12.
