John Natalie finished 7th overall for the
weekend and looking for a podium at round
3 |
Pell City, AL (4/2/2009) - Round
two of the AMA ATV Motocross Championship series
was full of thrills and spills.
John Natalie was lucky to avoid a huge crash as
racers left the line in the first moto as he negotiated
his way past the carnage to take 6th in the holeshot
and begin his charge to the front. Natalie made
a hard charge and worked his way to an impressive
second place by mid-moto before experiencing issues,
which dropped him out of podium contingency.
Despite the increased level of competition this
year, it was obvious that Natalie has been training
extra hard as he came from a mid pack start in moto
two, and worked his way to seventh by the end of
the first lap. Natalie put his head down and got
right to work picking off the competition. Natalie
worked his way into fourth place and began to challenge
Josh Upperman for third place. Natalie got that
chance in the final lap, taking over third before
the checkered flag to secure seventh overall for
the weekend.
“My Can-am is dialed
in and was working great this weekend. It seems
faster every round. I can’t wait for Bowling
Green because I plan on being on the podium,”
stated Natalie, who suffered a nasty eye injury
at round three last year.

Cody Miller got a bit banged up at Steel
Creek, but will be all ready to go for Ballance
MX |
Unfortunately for Cody Miller, he was caught up
in the horrific crash off the start in moto one,
which sent him tumbling and eventually run over
by another racer in the chaos, which left him battered
and bruised. Fortunately, Miller wasn’t seriously
injured, but he was far from one hundred percent.
Afterwards, Miller cruised through the weekend to
secure some points in hopes of better luck at Ballance
Moto X in two weeks.
“I’m a
little sore right now, but I should be feeling good
by then and I’ll be ready for round three,”
said Miller positively.
Round number three of the AMA ATV Motocross Championship
will have the Can-am Warnert Racing team heading
for Ballance MotoX in Bowling Green, KY on April
5th where Natalie will be racing for the win and
try to break into the top five in the points race.
