Round 10 – AMA Motocross Series

Millville, Minnesota

Spring Creek Motocross Park

August 16 - 17, 2008

In the Motocross class, Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Michael Byrne celebrated yet another podium finish after bringing home a strong third-place result at Spring Creek on Sunday. The Australian charged hard on his Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 after a get-off in the first moto to get a sixth-place finish and then followed that up with a second-place result in the second moto, for a third-place overall finish. Currently, Byrne is in fourth place overall in the championship points.

Michael Byrne:

“I had a good start in the first moto, but I fell in the back of the track and went back to within the top 10. I was able to come back up to sixth and then I was able to stay in a good pace. By the second moto, the sand was really bad, and I got it in my goggles. But I got into third place and I was just trying to be patient and wait for the guy in front of me to make a mistake or get tired. I couldn’t have done it without my Rockstar Makita Suzuki team.”
