Burkhart Places Third at USA International Raceway in Shawano, Wisconsin

Advance, NC (August 25, 2008) - Mark Burkhart (Graves Motorsport Yamaha), 2008 Moto X World Champion, 2007 X-Games Supermoto Gold winner, and 2007 AMA Supermoto Champion finished third in the third race of the XTRM/AMA Supermoto Series at USA International Raceway in Shawano, Wisconsin.


After a fall in his Heat race, Burkhart finished in third place. The third place finish in his Heat put him on the second row for the start of the Main event. A poor start left him at the back of the pack, but he quickly passed his way up to fourth place. Burkhart finally made his way into third place when Cassidy Anderson stalled his bike in a turn.


Burkhart is currently in second place overall in the points standings, just three points outside of first place.


"I would like to put this weekend behind me. I race to win, and that was not the case in Wisconsin. There are still plenty of races left in the series and I am looking forward to more victories," commented Burkhart.


Burkhart's next race will be at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah on September 7, 2008.
