Justin Brayton Fights Back to Claim Ricky Carmichael Hard Charger Award at Spring Creek

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(July 20, 2011) - An action-packed day full of highlights and memorable
moments kicked off the second half of the 2011 Lucas Oil AMA Pro
Motocross Championship from Spring Creek MX Park in Millville,
Minnesota. Following a full day of racing across three classes of
competition, Muscle Milk/Toyota/JGR's Justin Brayton was awarded for his
resilient ride in the opening moto of the 450 Class, resulting in this
week's Ricky Carmichael Hard Charger Award.

Misfortune
struck Brayton on the opening lap of the day's first moto. As most of
his competitors engaged in battle ahead, Brayton crossed the line at the
end of the first lap in 34^th , and instantly began his
impressive surge though the field. As TwoTwo Motorsports/Bel-Ray
Racing's Chad Reed took the checkered flag, to win the moto following 16
grueling laps, Brayton had fought his way to just outside the top 10,
passing 22 riders en route to a 12^th-place finish.

Following
a much better start in Moto 2, Brayton maintained his position at the
front of the field. His strong position within the top 10 throughout the
moto resulted in a seventh-place finish, which ultimately landed
Brayton ninth overall in the 450 Class.

Another
athlete that just missed out on the Hard Charger this week, but
deserves recognition is Reed. After his dominant start to the day, Reed
looked to make it a clean sweep of both motos, grabbing the early lead
in the final moto from Ryan Villopoto. But just as he made his move for
the lead Reed lost control of his motorcycle and was vaulted high into
the air, suffering a frightening fall to the ground. As the Spring Creek
crowd stood speechless, Reed got up, re-mounted his motorcycle, and
returned to action, much to the delight of everyone in attendance, as
well as a global TV audience. Reed crossed the line in 34^th, but fought his way into 14^th
by the end of the moto, passing 20 riders along the way. More
importantly, he finished fifth overall and maintained his points lead in
the 450 Class standings.

For
his efforts at Spring Creek, Brayton will be presented with the Ricky
Carmichael Hard Charger Award at this Saturday's pre-race riders'
meeting prior to the Peterson CAT Washougal National this Saturday in
Washington, providing well-deserved recognition for his efforts in front
of his peers.
