Lititz, PA (6/8/2016) - FTR /PR2 / Amped Apparel’s Peyton Zimmerman captured yet another win in Schoolboy Sr. during the sixth round of the 2016 AMA ATV Motocross National Championship at Monster Mountain MX Park in Tallasse, AL.
Due to rain on Sunday, second motos were cancelled with the first moto counting for everything. In Youth All Star, Zimmerman had a mechanical issue that knocked him out of the race. “I got second out of the start and was behind Troy Hill, just following him. I went over a step up and the bike died going up the face. I could not finish the moto, but we got it all figured out for Schoolboy and I did good in that class,” explained Zimmerman.

In the first moto of Schoolboy Sr., Zimmerman rocketed off the start and ran away with the win. “I got a really good jump off the gate, pulled the holeshot and led the entire race. I rode really clean, fast lines and just rode my own race for four laps and came out with the win. It helped me out with the points for sure.” Zimmerman is second place in points.
Zimmerman enjoyed the track and was thankful for a great bike underneath him that helped him to succeed on such a challenging track. “It was really fast paced and wide open. You had to have a lot of horsepower. PR2 Engines hooked me up with a fast motor that got me a good start with my Maxxis tires hooking up out of the gate. The track was a little rough, but my Elka suspension was dialed in, absorbing all the bumps.”

Zimmerman will be going for the center of the box at the seventh round of the 2016 AMA ATV Motocross National Championship at Sunset Ridge MX in Walnut IL, June 18-19.
