Nic Granlund To Defend His NASMOTO
ATV Championship Title
Nashville, Tennessee - September 2, 2007
Nashville, TN (8/22/2007)
- Pro ATV NASMOTO defending champ,
Nic Granlund, is set to defend his National
Championship Title at the September 2nd 2007
Extreme Cycle Jam NASMOTO ATV SMGC contest in
Nashville at the Music City Motorplex. Granlund
will be aboard his ultra fast Yamaha YFZ 450
racer aiming at the ultimate goal.
Music City Motorplex is home to the 3rd annual
NASMOTO Extreme Cycle Jam ATV Championships
for SMX ATV Pro-Am and Amateur ATV SuperMoto.
This is a winner-take-all format with a winning
purse in excess of $3,000.
The Extreme Cycle Jam will be the most demanding
ATV race of the season. The high banks of the
Music City Motorplex creates a terminal velocity
of over 90 mph combined with the dirt section
that is both tight and flowing produces set
up challenges for all the competitors. Too much
emphasis on the asphalt leaves the racer open
to attack on the dirt and visa versa. Dedicated
ATV promoter practice is scheduled for Saturday
morning. The premier ATV race is scheduled as
the featured race on Sunday and includes the
fan-favorite urban jump.
As a tune up to the Nashville round Granlund
competed and won in the August 18-19 SMUSA Vet
National and NASMOTO qualifier at the Reno Fernley
Raceway. When asked about his Yamaha YFZ performance
Granlund has this to say, “The guys were
catching me on the straights so I’m going
to have to build more horsepower to stay competitive
on the high banks of Nashville .”
The team at the Music City Motorplex
has a treat in store for the fans as well. “We
have modified the dirt section so that fans
can really enjoy the jumps and see the passing
lanes,” said Norman Partin, General Manager
of Music City Motorplex. “This is the
premier event for ATV racing in 2007 and our
most exciting event to date!”
For the amateur racing enthusiast,
NASMOTO has created a Sportsman class that encourages
newcomers to participate in the sport and requires
only a tire modification. NASMOTO will have
a tire changing service at the racing facility
for all novice SuperMoto riders. The Sportsman
class assists local motorcycle dealers in creating
a low cost and highly entertaining weekend for
their customers. In no other series can a fan
say they raced on the same track as the pros.
Tickets with pit passes are $30
at the Music City Motorplex box office or $15
at participating dealers including Castle Powersports,
Precision Cycles, Americas Motorsports , Boswell
Harley Davidson and at the track. Children 5
and under free.
