Bobby Garrison Takes 2-Stroke National Win At Glen Helen Raceway April 12, 2010 - Glen Helen Raceway, CA -- Bobby Garrison wins the 2 Stroke National on his Zip Ty Racing Husqvarna WR300, a first major win for Husqvarna in motorcross in years. In front of a packed field of talented riders Garrison rode fast and consistent taking the overall win with a 4-2 score. “At the start of the first moto, I got a good jump out of the gate but hit a soft section about halfway up the start straight that slowed the bike. When I rounded the first turn I was in the back of the pack but quickly made some passes, eventually working my way back up to 5th place,” said Garrison. “The lead pack had started to pull away so I had to put my head down and charge forward. I was able to catch the lead group and was trying everything I could think of to make something happen. I started to battle with Kurt Casseli and was finally able to make my move and advance ahead of him into 4th place. I worked my way up to Sleeter in 3rd but small mistakes toward the end cost me so I was not able to catch them and had to settle for a 4th place moto 1 finish. In the second moto I got a better gate position and a much better start up front. In the next few corners I made a few mistakes and dropped back to 8th. I slowly made my way forward having a few good battles along the way gradually working up to 5th. Luckily by this time the lead group was not too far ahead and the front-runners were making a lot of mistakes that I could capitalize on. While Dubach and Casseli duked it out, 2nd place rider Austin Howell crashed, moving me up to 4th. Soon after Dubach and Casseli got together and Dubach came out on the short end. I’m now in 3rd with Casseli right in front of me. I press and soon pass him for 2nd but the leader was too far ahead for me to catch him. I finish the moto in 2nd place which gave me the overall win. Everything just fell in place today and my 2010 Husqvarna WR300 worked great all day long. Maxxis Endurocross Series April 10th- Glen Helen, Ca. Cory Graffunder showed up for the first round of the Maxxis Endurocross Series at Glen Helen aboard his Husqvarna TC250. After practice was over, they were going to do a hot lap qualifier for gate pick. Cory put in a great lap and was second fastest behind Kyle Redmond by 1 second. As the night program started, they are doing a 3 main event format. In the first main event, Cory got a great start and lead wire to wire. In the second moto Colton Hacker got the holeshot with Cory following a close second. Throughout the moto Cory stayed with hacker but was unable to make a pass and had to settle for second place. In the third moto, it was almost a repeat of moto 1 with Cory leading form start to finish without being challenge and won by 20 seconds. “This was a good start to the series and I hope to keep it up, the Husqvarna TC250 ran great all night and look forward to the next round.” Quoted Cory.

After getting restart nick put his head down and started working his way up. By the end of the race, Nick had worked his way into the 9th position, where he would finish. “ I had a great race, except for that small mistake off the start which cost me a lot of time. If not for that mistake, I felt like I could have run with the leaders.” quoted Nick.
