Medina, MN (8/6/2009) - Factory
Polaris/Rath/Duro Rider Daryl Rath spent the
weekend collecting wins on the Sportsman 850
XP.
The winning weekend was started Saturday,
Aug 1, at the OMA National being held at the
legendary Millville MX track, in Minnesota.
The Millville track is well known for hosting
the Outdoor Bike Nationals but was perfect
for a little cross country action as well.
Taking the opportunity of summer break from
the GNCC’s Polaris and Rath are busy
getting some additional testing and development
done on their race bikes. Taking the win,
along with placing sixth overall in the morning
class, left Rath ready for Sunday. “I
think this is the best the bike has felt all
season, we have dug in hard to put together
a winning program and that effort is starting
to show with the results.” said Rath.
The winning didn’t stop there! Saturday
night, the team made the trip to Decatur,
IA, for Round 5 of the IATVHSS race held on
Sunday. “The IATVHSS Series is one I
really enjoy racing. The people, the tracks
and the rider turnout is hard to beat. I have
been wanting a win there for quite some time
and it was a great feeling to put the Sportsman
XP back on the podium,” said Rath.
“Rath Racing has been instrumental
in the success of the Sportsman 850 XP in
its inaugural year on the race circuits,”
said Eric Nault, Polaris race team manager.
“Polaris appreciates the time and effort
the team has invested in preparing and dialing
in the quad and is excited for the second
half of the racing season.”
