2016 AMA ATV Motocross
Round 2 - Links

Lititz, PA (4/12/2016) - Peyton Zimmerman competed in round two of the AMA ATV Motocross National Championship at Underground MX in Kemp, Texas. Zimmerman took sixth place in Youth All Star, and fourth place in Schoolboy Sr.

Zimmerman came into round two after a big win at the Daytona Supercross, and was looking for a repeat performance. Unfortunately, a mechanical issue in the first moto of Youth All Star took Zimmerman out of the race on the third lap, halting his run to the podium. He rebounded in the second moto with a solid second place finish, which allowed him to salvage sixth place overall.

“In the second moto Troy (Hill) and I battled it out. I had last gate pick due to my mechanical failure on the first moto and came out about fourth in the start. I worked up to second place. I was gaining on Troy, but I made a mistake, and he ended up taking the win.”

New for Zimmerman this year was creating his own race program. Zimmerman now rides a Honda with a 250 motor and bigger chassis to prepare him for the jump to 450’s next season. He enjoys working independently and choosing the brands that work best for him.

“This year we branched off on our own. We get to run all the brands we want to run. I like having our own atmosphere. Amped Apparel is helping us with tents and merchandise to keep us looking fresh. I am running PR2 motors, Maxxis tires, and Elka suspension. It is all working flawless.”

Zimmerman also competed in the Schoolboy Sr. class. Due to mechanical issues, Zimmerman had to ride a borrowed machine and still managed to take an impressive fourth place finish.

“I am looking forward to battling all season, It is going to be a good one,” stated Zimmerman.

Zimmerman will compete in the third round of the AMA ATV Motocross National Championship at Muddy Creek Raceway in Blountville, TN April 23-24, where he will be fighting for the win.
