Concord, NC (10/16/2009)
- Another year of EDT racing is
in the history books. The series had its share
of ups and downs but KTM North America support
riders Chuckie Creech and Nick Camilli both saw
their share of domination throughout the year
on the new KTM 450 SX quad. From qualifying to
heat races and main events, the 450 SX has proven
to be a strong competitor on the national circuit.
Chuckie Creech finished out the year with an
impressive 3rd place finish in the Pro class
and 4th in the Pro Lites. “It felt good
to ride something new and be a part of the KTM
team,” Creech said. “The competition
this year was tough and the points were so close
that there was no room for error.”
“We did a lot of experimenting during
the off times and we feel we have a quad very
capable of winning a championship.” Creech
would like to thank KTM, Roberts Racing, Baldwin,
PEP shocks, iTi Performance, Rath Racing, Fly,
CRJ, Dirt Fiend, Triangle Cycles, Sidi Boots,
and Douglass Wheel..
“I was amazed at the power and handling
of the KTM when I first picked it up,”
Camilli said. “My sponsors and I spent
a lot of time setting up the quad and dialing
it in before the first national. Each race we
consistently got faster and the results prove
it.”
Camilli went on to claim the championship in
both the 4-Stroke A and Plus 25 classes. “I
cannot thank KTM enough for believing in me
and giving me the opportunity. Being a support
rider for a manufacturer at an amateur level
is a dream come true. I would also like to thank
Turtle Racing Engines, Roberts Racing, MSR,
and Cycle Goodies for supporting me.”
“KTM congratulates both Chuckie and Nick
on their flat track success this season,”
KTM’s ATV Product Manager Chris Vogtman
said. “Chuckie and Nick are excellent
examples of what can be achieved via our grassroots
racer support program. KTM will continue to
put a concerted effort into the flat track series
next season with an even larger and deeper contingency
payout structure.
“To racers who are interested in KTM’s
racer support program and contingency for the
2010 season stay tuned. KTM will be making a
big announcement that proves just how dedicated
we are to ATV racing and our ‘Ready to
Race’ ATV product in the very near future.”
