American Suzuki Motor Corporation Secures 2010 AMA ATVMX Manufacturers Cup
Morgantown, WV (August 5, 2010) -- Not all the competition in the AMA Pro ATV Motocross Championship takes place between the riders, as the top ATV manufacturers vie for the Manufacturer's Cup, as well. Team Suzuki has sealed the crown for the third consecutive year. The team has many reasons to celebrate heading into the final round of racing, as they have not only earned the 2010 Manufacturer's Cup prior to the final two motos, but their two riders, Josh Creamer and Dustin Wimmer, are the only two riders in contention for the 2010 AMA ATV Motocross Championship.
"With all the competition in ATV Racing, Suzuki is proud to win the manufacturers cup once again," said Pat Alexander, Sports Promotion Manager at American Suzuki Motor Corp. "We have an excellent team made up of hard working mechanics, drivers and riders who allow Suzuki to maintain this prestigious award."
The Manufacturer's Cup is calculated based on the best moto finish for each machine in each moto, looking at only the machine's brand to allocate points. Heading into Loretta Lynn Ranch, Suzuki currently has 477 points, 62 points over runner-up, Can-Am.
The final round of racing will be held at Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN on August 15-16. Tickets to witness the final round of ATV Motocross racing and the crowning of the 2010 Champion cost $15 for adults and $10 for children age 6-11. To get to the track from Nashville, take I-40 West 70 miles to Exit 143. Turn right and follow Route 13 North 7 miles to the Ranch on the left. For more information log on to www.atvmotocross.com
