& Joe Byrd |
Hurricane Mills, TN (8/9/06) –
One of the most anticipated ATVA National Motocross events
of the year, the ATV Dirt Days at the Loretta Lynn’s
Ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN on August 11, 12, and 13
Honda’s Joe Byrd is currently leads the Pro Points,
but Team Suzuki/Yoshimura’s Doug Gust has closed
the gap to only ten points with two races remaining,
but Tennessee’s own, Joe Byrd, has stole the show
the past three years at Loretta’s by claiming
the win in front of his home state crowd, and he is
looking for a repeat performance this year as he goes
after the 2006 Pro National Championship. Also, Joe
Byrd’s wife the reigning Women’s Champion,
Heather Byrd, is looking to claim her third consecutive
championship over the high flying Angela Butler, but
five consecutive wins by Angela has finally given her
the advantage and chance at reclaiming the national
title.
