Yoshimura Racers Top the Podium at RedBud National

---

Chino, Calif. –
July 6, 2010 – The RedBud National in Buchanan, Michigan is one of
the biggest races of the series, and Yoshimura racers topped the podium
with convincing wins in both the 450 and WMX classes.

At the
start of moto 1, Andrew Short added another holeshot to his growing
collection aboard his Yoshimura-powered CRF450R. Right behind him
was fellow Yoshimura racer and current points leader Ryan Dungey, who
quickly poured on the speed and put the pressure on Short. Dungey
eventually made the pass for the lead and finished first, while Short
finished third. Matt Moss finished 15th in the moto.

The holeshot
in moto 2 belonged to Ryan Dungey on his Yoshimura-powered RM-Z450.
Andrew Short got off to a great start immediately behind Dungey, and the
two battled it out on the first lap. Short managed to pass Dungey, but
Ryan quickly came back to retake the lead. With an open track in front
of him, and plenty of Yoshimura power on tap, Ryan started putting
distance between him and the competition. Dungey went on to take his
second moto win of the day, and his fifth overall win in a row. Short
finished inside the top five taking fourth overall. Moss again finished
15th, and took 14th overall for the day, which is his best finish so far
this season.

The WMX championship raced for the
first time at RedBud, and Yoshimura racer and defending WMX Champion
Ashley Fiolek piloted her Yoshimura-powered CRF250R to her first overall
victory of the season. Fiolek led both motos wire-to-wire by taking the
holeshots and the wins in both races. She’s now only 20 points from the
lead in the WMX series.

The next round of the 2010 AMA Pro
Motocross Championship will be held at Spring Creek in Millville,
Minnesota on July 17th.

After winning two
