By the second motos, thunderclouds had formed 
                                and the rain came down, making the already challenging 
                                track slick.

                                      ATV Motocross race fans didn't let the rain 
                                      stop them from enjoying the racing action 
                                      as they came prepared for the rain | Josh 
                                      Upperman received some words of advice from 
                                      former Pro ATV MX racer, Tim Farr, before 
                                      the start of Moto 2 |  Harold Goodman gunned for the first turn to take 
                                home his second $250 holeshot award, while Natalie 
                                crashed hard on the outside. Creamer was soon 
                                on on Goodman's tail, and he mastered the slick 
                                track to make a pass and take the lead.

                                      Goodman once again grabbed the Holeshot, 
                                      but Josh Creamer took over the lead going 
                                      through the turning double section half-way 
                                      through lap One | Josh 
                                      Upperman took over the 2nd spot in lap 2, 
                                      by tripling over Harold Goodman who opted 
                                      to double the uphill jump with the slick 
                                      condtions  |  Upperman overtook Goodman as well in the second 
                                lap, and then battled with Gust and Wienen for 
                                second. Late in the race, Upperman stepped up 
                                his pace and pulled away from the battle, making 
                                one final push to catch Creamer. He went for a 
                                pass in the final turn, but ended up a close second 
                                behind Creamer.

                                      Josh Creamer was right at home in the mud 
                                      as he charged his way to yet another Moto 
                                      win & the overall | Doug 
                                      Gust lost his goggles early in the race 
                                      as he battled back & forth with Chad 
                                      Wienen for the 3rd spot |  "I just thought, 'C'mon man, just keep pushing,'" 
                                said Upperman. "I just ran out of time." Gust and Weinen made their moves to the front, 
                                taking the third and fourth positions while Byrd, 
                                who had another bad start coming off the line 
                                in 10th, settled for fifth place. The still-recovering 
                                Wimmer finished 11th, which allowed Byrd to extend 
                                his points lead to 25-the distance of an entire 
                                moto. |
