Daytona,
FL (3/18/2015)
– Casey Martin claimed the top spot on the
Pro-am podium of the inaugural Daytona ATV Supercross
while Sam Rowe earned the Pro Sport win and Megan
Manshack took top honors in the Women’s class.
The Daytona ATV SX track was tamed down from
the track for the motorcycles, but it was still
fairly technical with plenty of challenging rhythm
sections and some big air jumps. Also, the sandy
soil broke down quickly and became very rough,
but the amateur classes handled it well, and there
were some great battles at the Daytona ATV Supercross

In the Pro-am class, Casey Martin was on the
gas in his heat race as he came from a mid-pack
start and claimed a fourth place finish. In the
Pro-am main, Martin was in second when the gate
dropped and was right on the leader, Blake Granger.
Martin stayed close and applied the pressure.
Martin’s efforts paid off and he took the lead
in the third lap after recording the fastest lap
time of the race in lap two with a time of 01:02.223.
Martin increased his lead with every lap and clinched
the Pro-am win.

Wes Lewis, out of Aliquippa, PA, was in fourth
off the start and charged his way through traffic.
Lewis picked off the competition until he reached
the number two spot. From there, Lewis began to
close the gap on Casey Martin, but ran out of
time before he could get close enough to make
a move and finished second in the Pro-am class.

Florida native, Pablo Vera made an impressive
charge after a mid-pack start that left him in
seventh place in the first lap. Passing was difficult
on the rough course, but Vera put his head down
and began picking off the competition one by one.
When the white flag was waved, Vera was in position
to make a move for third place. Vera applied the
pressure and made a successful pass to finish
in third.
