Primm,
NV (4/11/2009)
– This past weekend Stateline Nevada hosted
the annual Stateline Super Moto Challenge. In years
past the event has set the standard in Super Moto
racing. Normally the venue being at formally Buffalo
Bills (now Terribles) Hotel and Casino the atmosphere
of the Casino, bright lights, roller coaster you
knew you were at the event.
This year, the SCORE Series took over the venue
and the Super Moto Challenge was pushed back to
behind the Outlet Mall located at the Stateline
exit. To say the least it was a little disappointing,
and with the new location and overlapping the
event on top of the AMA ATV Motocross and GNCC
series as well, also reduced the amount of participants,
and turned the atmosphere into more of a local
event especially with the absence of Rath Racing’s
Daryl Rath & Frank Batista to name a few that
would challenge local SuperMoto hero Nic Granlund.

Nic Granlund Wins Again at the Stateline
Super Moto |
Once again, the the Stateline Super Moto belong
to hometown favorite, Nic Granlund as he claimed
the Main event win on the all new Yamaha YFZ450R.
Taking the 2nd spot was Tim Batista who seemed
to be making up for absence of his brother Frank
Batista as he claimed his 1st Podium finish. Chris
Riley claimed the final spot on the Podium after
charging his way from 9th to 3rd as he applied
the pressure to Batista till the checkered flag.
Another notable finish was that of David Haagsma
who claimed the 4th spot, and seems to have a
natural ability for going fast. He has only been
out a couple times and seemed to be running with
the top names in the event.

we say he is a great up and comer.
