Lititz, PA (7/26/2016) - FTR/PR2/Maxxis/Amped
Apparel’s Peyton Zimmerman competed at round nine
of the 2016 AMA ATV Motocross National Championship
at Unadilla MX in New Berlin, NY. Zimmerman rode
in both Youth All Star and Schoolboy Sr.
In Youth All Star, Zimmerman put in a strong
heat race ride on Saturday, taking the win. “The
PR2 motor yanked me some starts, the Maxxis tires
hooked up perfect, and the Elka’s worked awesome,”
said Zimmerman. In moto two, Zimmerman took third
for third place overall. He maintained second
place in the championship points.

In Schoolboy Sr., Zimmerman again had a strong
first moto performance. “I made fourth out of
the start and made some quick passes to second.
I passed Troy for the lead but the last lap my
fuel got hot and caused my machine to spit and
sputter, so he passed me back and I got second.
It was a bummer,” said Zimmerman.
On the second moto of Schoolboy Sr., Zimmerman
ran into some mechanical issues again causing
him to take eleventh in the moto and sixth overall.
Zimmerman is second in the championship points.
Despite the hard luck at Unadilla, Zimmerman
found positive things to say about the track and
the remainder of the season. “The track had a
cool layout and I had a good time. Going into
Redbud the goal is to win and see if I can get
closer to the points and come out with a championship.
I am going to put my head down and charge and
see what I can do. It is motocross so anything
can happen with the points,” explained Zimmerman.
Zimmerman will compete at the tenth round of
the 2016 AMA ATV Motocross National Championship
at Redbud MX in Buchanan, MI July 30-31, where
he will be aiming for the win.
