PICKERINGTON, Ohio (July 10, 2007) – The first half of the 2007  AMA Toyota
Motocross Championship presented by FMF comes to a close  with round six of the series
at Unadilla Valley Sports Center on  July 14-15 in New Berlin, New York.

The Monster Energy Nice N Easy Pro National Presented by Renegade  Haulers will see
James Stewart trying to overcome the spate of bad  luck he’s suffered at Unadilla
over the last couple of seasons. In  2005 Stewart had a collision with Ricky Carmichael
as the two  battled for the lead. Last year Stewart suffered a high-speed crash  during
morning practice and missed the race altogether. This year  Stewart is the pre-race
favorite to win his first national of the  season aboard his Monster Energy Kawasaki.

Series leader Ricky Carmichael will not race at Unadilla. The  defending champion is
transitioning into a NASCAR racing career and  is slated to race only one more national
this summer on his Makita  Suzuki. This will mark the first Unadilla without Carmichael
in 10  years.

Stewart said he’ll approach Unadilla no differently than any other  race in spite of
the fact that his biggest rival will not be on the  line.

“It’s going to be different without Ricky there,” Stewart  said. “It took me
awhile in Supercross to get used to it and now  I’m going to have to do it outdoors.
I’m going to focus like I  always do. I don’t think I’ll ride any differently.”

Stewart, who is 16-points behind Carmichael in the championship,  should take over the
series lead with a good performance at  Unadilla. If he does take the series lead it
would mark the second  time Stewart has led the series. He won the opening round in
2006  and held the series lead for one week. Stewart is a three-time  Unadilla
Motocross Lites winner, but will be seeking his first win  in the premier class.

Kawasaki last won the premier event at Unadilla since 2001.

The big question is whether or not any rider can step up to  challenge Stewart in the
second half of the season. His teammate  Tim Ferry comes into Unadilla ranked third in
the standings. He’s  holding off a group of riders hoping to try to intensify the
series  and challenge Stewart in Carmichael’s absence. Honda’s Andrew  Short,
Yamaha’s Grant Langston and Red Bull KTM’s Mike Alessi  are closely grouped
together just behind Ferry in the standings.

Kevin Windham has a good history at Unadilla. He beat Carmichael  heads up in the 2003
race there. The veteran Sobe No Fear/Samsung  Honda rider is very fast on the high
speed rolling hills of the  Unadilla Valley Sports Center.

Defending Unadilla Motocross Lites winner Ryan Villopoto leads the  class again this
year coming into Sunday’s race. He’s involved  in a good championship race with
Monster Energy/Pro Circuit  Kawasaki teammate Ben Townley. Both riders have two
national wins  so far this season.

“It’s good to have the momentum, but I know Ben’s going to  come back at Unadilla
and will be going just as fast has he was  earlier in the season, Villopoto said.
“We’re probably going to  get back to having the battles like we’ve had all season.”

Townley said he is anxious to get into the meat of the summer’s  racing schedule.
“It’s tough being beaten four motos in a row,” said Townley.  “I want to get
back on track and start winning again. I’m  looking forward to racing the three
weekends in a row starting with  Unadilla. It’s going to be a major factor in the
championship.”

Sobe No Fear/Samsung Honda’s Josh Grant is hanging tough and is  third coming into
Unadilla. He’ll be hoping to earn his second  national victory this season on Sunday.

Unadilla is one of the most historic venues in the AMA Toyota  Motocross Championship.
The track, considered the most European of  the American tracks, has hosted United
States Grand Prix races and  was the track where the U.S. first hosted the Motocross of
Nations  in 1987. After 20 years the prestigious international event is  coming back to
America, at Budds Creek, Md., this September.

This year marks the 35th Anniversary of the first AMA National held  at Unadilla. Gary
Jones won that first race in 1972.
