HILLSDALE, Mich., (Oct. 12 , 2010) –
American-made Cobra Motorcycles’ Chase Sexton (Illinois)
and Parker Mashburn (Texas) were the big winners at this past
week’s 16^th annual Branson USA National Motocross
Championships, one of the country’s biggest races of the fall
season, drawing a reported 1,100 amateur MX competitors to the banks
of the James River in the southwestern corner of Missouri.

Sexton, aboard Cobra’s
crate-to-podium CX65, was on fire in the 65cc 9-11 Modified and 65cc
Open Through 11 classes, winning three out of four motos –
including a Mod class sweep on his JMS/MXT-prepped bike - and the
all-important second moto in the all-star Open class to secure that
overall victory. And Mashburn was equally impressive, racking up two
overall championships on his EBR Cobra King 50 in the 50cc Senior PW
classes (Stock 7-8 and Mod 7-8).

“It’s definitely cause for
celebration at Cobra HQ anytime we can pull off a win versus the
highly-funded foreign factory bikes,” said Sean Hilbert, President
of Michigan-based Cobra Motorcycles. “Congrats to Chase, Parker and
the rest of the Cobra kids that competed this past week at Branson.
Hit the school books hard and we’ll see you in just over a month
here at the Mini Os.”

On the JR50 bikes Cobra was led by
Oklahoma’s Ramone Rusche, who won the Stock class and
Missouri’s Brock Lassiter who won the Modified class. Ryan
Smith (Okla.) also ran well, bringing home two 2^nd
place finishes in those classes. Other Cobra riders with standout
performances at Branson include: Tennessee’s Kruz Sampson
(2^nd 6-9 Super Pee Wee, 3^rd 7-8 50 Modified,
3^rd 7-8 65 Modified), Missouri’s Michael Hicks
(4^th 9-11 65 Stock), Washington’s Ethan Mann (2^nd
7-8 50 Stock) and his brother, Alex Mann (3^rd 4-6
50 Modified).
