Yoshimura Racers Dominate Budds Creek National

Chino,
Calif. – June 21, 2010 – Yoshimura racers Ryan Dungey and Andrew
Short topped the podium at the Budds Creek round of the 2010 AMA Pro
Motocross Championship. The two racers battled it out aboard their
Yoshimura-powered machines, and came away with a 1-2 overall finish for
Yoshimura. Budds Creek marks the third overall win in a row for
Dungey, and the second consecutive podium for Short.

Andrew got
off the line in a hurry at the start of moto 1, taking the holeshot and
quickly turning it into a solid lead. Short led the pack wire-to-wire,
and ended up taking the win. Meanwhile, Dungey fought his way up to
second from his sixth-place start, using the power of his
Yoshimura-equipped RM-Z450 to move up. A crash later in the race caused
Dungey to drop back a few positions, but he got back on the gas and
fought to an impressive third-place finish, made even more amazing by
the fact that he was forced to ditch his goggles after the crash and
continued racing through the roost without them.

Moto 2 saw Short
and Dungey up at the front again, with Short taking his second holeshot
of the day, and Dungey not far behind. After a few laps, Dungey made a
move for the lead and passed Short. Dungey maintained his lead the rest
of the moto, and went on to take his fifth moto win of the
season as well as the overall at Budds Creek.

Dungey's teammate
and fellow Yoshimura rider Matt Moss also had a successful race at
Budds creek, and posted his best results so far this season. Moss and
his Yoshimura-prepped RM-Z450 went 13-18, and took 16th overall.

Yoshimura’s
Davi Millsaps had a promising start to the day as he qualified in the
top 10, but a Moto 1 crash left him sidelined for the rest of the day.
He’s expected to make a full recovery.

The next round of the 2010
AMA Pro Championship will take place at Thunder Valley Motocross Park
in Lakewood, Colorado. With the awesome Yoshimura-powered machines and
racers at the top of their game, look for them to continue to lead the
pack!
