ATV Pro Challenge Motocross in Memory of Caleb Moore Underground MX October 5, 2013

The Ironman, John Natalie, rounded out the top five in the Challenge. Natalie went 6-3-5 in the motos. Natalie went from seventh to sixth in moto one; he remained in sixth through the finish. In moto two, Natalie had a good start and went right into third place. He ran there for the entire moto, despite a lot of pressure from behind.

In the third moto, Natalie grabbed the holeshot and the early lead. He held the lead for the first two laps until he had a run in with Wienen and dropped back to seventh. He battled back to fifth on lap seven where he rode until the finish.

“I think I grabbed the holeshot by the tread of my tire. Upperman and I were so close through there. All three motos were great racing though. The track and layout were good and we were able to put on a great show for everyone,” regarded Natalie.

JB Racing’s Jeff Rastrelli claimed sixth at the challenge after scoring 7-6-4. “I felt really good on my Can-Am. I am pumped to have gotten fourth in the last moto and hope to carry this momentum into next season,” said Rastrelli.
