Maxxis tires claim two spots on

ATV MX Muddy Creek podium

Team Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki dominated the latest round of the ATV Pro Motocross Nationals, with a victory for Josh Creamer and third place for Dustin Wimmer. Round 7 was held June 20 in Blountville , Tennessee.

Creamer took second place in both motos for the overall win, his third in a row. Yellow-label Razr MX rear and Razr Cross front tires helped him overcome a last-place start in Moto 1. “The track was pretty hard and slick everywhere and the tires hooked up well, just like the whole bike. The tires really helped me hang my lines to get by everyone in that first moto,” Creamer said.

Like his teammate, Wimmer turned in an outstanding performance at Round 7, winning both Moto 2 and the ATVRiders.com Fastest Qualifier Award. With 313 points, Creamer leads the race for the championship, followed by Wimmer, who has racked up 293.

Also riding Razrs, Walsh Race Craft’s Jeremy Lawson took fifth place overall. Riders on Maxxis took two spots on the Pro Am Production podium: Joel Hetrick earned second place, and Casey Martin grabbed third. Hetrick and Martin are also second and third in points for their class.

Maxxis congratulates Josh Creamer on his latest victory and thanks all of its riders for their fine performances.

Maxxis, Matlock win in SCORE

Matlock Racing has taken yet another SCORE victory, winning Class 25 of the 42nd annual Baja 500. The punishing desert race was held June 5 in Ensenada, Baja, Mexico.

Riders Wayne Matlock, Josh Caster and Wes Miller conquered the 439-mile course in 10:24:35 hours. "Our race went just as planned,” Matlock said. “We had the leader in our sight for most of the first half. At the halfway point we were neck and neck, and came into our pit for a scheduled tire and rider change. With fresh tires and a fresh rider, we charged into the lead and never looked back. At the end, we beat second place by over 50 minutes. I attribute a lot of our success in Baja to Maxxis tires and the fact that we can push so hard through the rough terrain and not worry about tearing up the tires."

In all desert racing conditions, Matlock Racing equips its Honda TRX700XX with 22x10-11 Razr rears and 23x7-10 Razr fronts.

Defending champions from 2009 and currently first in the 2010 points standings, Matlock Racing also won the first SCORE race of the year, the San Felipe 250.

Maxxis congratulates Wayne Matlock and team thanks them for choosing the brand of champions.
