Riders & Guests Celebrate 2009 ATV-MX Season at Annual Banquet
Amateur National ATV Motocross Banquet - Pigeon Forge, TN - November 13, 2009

Women's Champion Kayle Dyer

The Hard Luck Award went to 90cc rider Cody Shelton and his father Mitchell when their motor-home caught fire on the way to the Birch Creek National, leaving them stranded on the side of the road. Fabian Gibson, father of Pro-Am Champion Cody Gibson, became the recipient of the Good Samaritan award for coming to the Shelton's aide. Gibson not only helped the Shelton's get to the race, but also returned to bring their possessions to the track.

"Fabian is the kind of guy that will notice stuff like that and stop and help people," said Mitchell Shelton. "He's just a good helpful guy and we really appreciated it."

Freida Rozelle was presented with the "Heart of the Sport" Award for her incredible dedication despite being involved in a terrible car accident at the beginning of the season that left her paralyzed. Rozelle took the lead in organizing the Youth Contingency Program for the third year in a row, all while enduring surgeries and therapy.
