"We were pleased with the results from this weekend, earning numerous podiums in three very different racing venues and terrains," said Pat McGuire, Public Relations / Race Support. "Anytime you finish on a SCORE podium, let alone finish, it's an accomplishment, but to have two teams make it on the box at the Baja 500 is even sweeter. Kyle Chaney's back-to-back victories in GNCC racing is very rewarding for both him and ITP."

John Penton GNCCThe Wiseco John Penton GNCC race, a highly popular round hosting for the 25th time, in Millfield, Ohio, featured both ATV and side-by-side racing. Team ITP came away with eight class victories and 17 total podiums. Making the biggest headline for the squad was Ohio native and side-by-side racer Kyle Chaney, who kept up his winning ways by taking the XC1 Modified class and side-by-side overall with his ITP-supported Can-Am Maverick 1000R. ITP ATV racers Westley Wolfe and Carter Kerens also each made the overall podium in their particular sessions of GNCC racing.

Tecate SCORE BAJA 500Seventeen side-by-side vehicles entered Class 19 at the 46th running of the Tecate SCORE International Baja 500 event in Mexico. The racers had to navigate a course of almost 450 miles through rocks, deep silt, cliffside trails, sand and desert-wash conditions. Eight vehicles failed to complete the race, and those nine that did reach the finish line fought hard every step of the way, overcoming SCORE trophy trucks, class 1 cars and racing gremlins. 
"We were so proud to have two ITP racers on the Class 19 podium, as just finishing the race was many of the racer's objective. Branden Sims and Justin Lambert have had a great year and this continues to build momentum for both drivers," said Ryan Edwards, ITP tech support representative / West Coast race coordinator. "It was such a gnarly course this year and all ITP racers reported no tire or wheel failures, despite a lot of the trophy trucks and other UTVs getting flats."

Team ITP had two of its supported racers finish in the top three, despite the challenging conditions and numerous "bottleneck" slowdowns. Earning second in Class 1900 was the Lonestar / ITP XP1000 piloted by Branden Sims, who was the sole driver. The team, which included Sims, Jacob Carver and Justin Krause, finished with a time of 13:15:15, roughly 13 minutes behind the winner. Riding on 30-inch ITP Ultracross tires, Sims avoided flats that plagued many other drivers to earn yet another desert racing podium for ITP this season. Coming off his recent victory at the Silver State 300 Best In The Desert event, Cognito Motorsports / ITP racer Justin Lambert tallied another podium on the season, earning third-place finishing spot in Class 19 at the Baja 500. Lambert, and his teammates of Justin Sheakley and Jeremiah Staggs, compiled a time of 14:26:14 in the team's Polaris XP1000 that was dressed with ITP Ultracross tires.   

ITP and Bush Racing racer Brian Bush teamed up with UTV Inc. owner Johnny Angal to drive a custom UTV Inc. RZR to fourth overall in the class. The Murray Racing / Can-Am / ITP team of Derek and Jason Murray, Monty Aldrich and Steve Amarine ended up seventh in the Baja 500, but tallied enough racing points and bonus points to maintain a hold on second place in the Class 19 standings after three rounds of racing. 

NEATV-MX 4Round four of the 2014 NEATV-MX schedule visited Hemmond's MX in Minot, Maine. BCS Performance / Can-Am / ITP Pro Josh Creamer battled in the Pro and Pro-Am classes. He won three of four motos and made both podiums. Competing on ITP Quadcross MX 2 front tires and Quadcross MX Pro Lite rear tires, Creamer finished third in the Pro class with a 1-5 scorecard and posted a 1-1 sweep in Pro-Am class.

Team ITP ATV and side-by-side racers competed in two different series across the country the last weekend in September, and came away with two Pro class victories. ATV Pro racer Adam McGill won round 11 of the Woods Extreme XC Racing series at Husted Hills in Amesville, Ohio. ITP-supported racers Kevin and Matt Shrive teamed up to win the Production 1000 Pro class at the AVE Racing PURE 250 in California City, Calif.


"No matter if it's an ATV in the woods or a side-by-side in the desert, our racers once again proved that ITP tires offer an industry-leading design and real-world results," said Pat McGuire, Public Relations / Race Support. "With five of the top six finishers and the overall class winner in the PURE 250 SxS Pro class, our tires more than speak for themselves in the desert."

WEXCR 
At round 11 of the WEXCR endurance series, ITP Pro Adam McGill (Lonestar / Precision / Custom Axis / Baldwin Racing) won the Adult Quad Pro class using ITP tires. McGill, who also competes for ITP TIres in the Grand National Country Series, didn't start off so hot at Husted Hills, finishing the first lap in
eighth place. However, he took the lead on lap two and kept pouring it on. Two sub 11-minute times on laps three and four extended his lead even more. In fact, McGill recorded the fastest lap on the final eight laps of the nine-lap race to win the class and the ATV overall. He won the overall and class by more than five minutes. He has seven wins and eight total podiums in the nine WEXCR rounds he has attended in 2013. 


Another ITP-backed WEXCR competitor, Mark Batson, won his class in Ohio. He led every lap and won Quad Vet 30+ class for the sixth consecutive race. Batson, who finished the Husted Hills event 10th in the overall quad results, has eight class wins this year.

 PURE 250
ITP racers Kevin and Matt Shrive won the Production 1000 Pro class and took second in the SxS overall standings at the 2013 PURE 250 race held northeast of Los Angeles. The Shrives completed six laps in a time of 6:05:37 to win their class. They were in fifth place after lap two, but rallied to move into the top three
on lap later. By the end of lap four, they took over the class lead and held it all the way to finish line. ITP racers took five of the top six finishing positions in the SxS Pro class. Logan Gastel ended up third in the class and joined the Shrives on the podium.

The other racers to earn top-five finishers were Branden Sims (fourth) and Brian Bush (fifth). Sims led the first three laps before falling to fourth. Bush was in ninth after the first lap, but patiently picked off a few riders to earn his top-five finish. Murray Racing / ITP driver Aaron Juarez, who was fourth after
lap five, ended up sixth.

Team ITP racers won six classes and earned 15 podium finishes at round six of the 2013 AMA Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship series held in Virginia. Saturday, June 8, ITP Pro class racers Josh Creamer and Jeffrey Rastrelli finished sixth and seventh, respectively, on a rough, wet Birch Creek Motocross track. ITP racer William Lloyd earned third place in the Pro-Am class podium Sunday.

"Despite the less-than-ideal racing conditions, our team of ITP racers did well at round six of the AMA motocross series by winning six classes, earning a Pro-Am class podium and having 15 total class podium finishes," said Pat McGuire, Public Relations / Race Support. "We won four classes in the youth ranks, led by Noah Mickelson's two wins, and also had victories from age-class racers William Lloyd and Dalton Hicks." 

 
Round six of the 2013 Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship series, which also served as the Bob "Smitty" Smith Memorial Race, was soaked by rain prior to the event. The rain and overcast skies didn't let up until just before the Pro class racing on Saturday afternoon.

In Pro-Am class action, Lloyd (JB Racing / ITP) led the way with is third-place finish. The podium finish pushed him to third in the class standings. He also won the Junior 25 Plus class using his ITP tires to extend his class points lead.
 
Dalton "Bubba" Hicks of Root River Racing / ITP won the 450 A class and took sixth in the Production A ranks and is the points leader in both classes. Noah Mickelson won both the 90 Open class and the Super-Mini (13-15) class in Virginia. The young Root River Racing / ITP-supported racer now leads the 90 Open class in points and in third in the other class.


Maddison Guyer competed in three classes at round six using ITP tires. With a 1-1 moto sweep, she won the Girls (12-15) class for the fourth time and is the current points leader. The final ITP racer to notch a class overall win was Brogan Guyer, who won the 90 CVT (8-15) class. He's currently three points behind the points leader in third place in the point standings, but has the most victories - three - of any racer in the 90 CVT (8-15) class.

ITP youth racer Haedyn Mickelson earned second place in two classes at round six. Haedyn Mickelson is the points leader in both the Schoolboy Sr. 14-17 and Schoolboy Jr. 13-15 classes. Other ITP team racers to earn podiums in Virginia, were Brent Sellers (2nd, Production A), Dylan Tremellen (3rd in both 4-Stroke A, Production A), Mike Barnhardt (2nd,
Vet 30+), Megan Manshack (3rd, Women's) and Blake Sarver (2nd, Schoolboy Jr. 13-15).

ITP Pro class racers Josh Creamer (BCS Performance) and Jeffrey Rastrelli (JB
Racing) each earned a top 10 finish at round seven. Creamer posted a sixth-place finish in moto one and fifth in the second moto to earn sixth overall. Creamer said he selected the wrong tire size for the conditions in moto one and a very narrow track hurt his chances to compete for a podium at round seven.



"There weren't a lot of places to make a pass in moto two, but I knew I had the speed to get into the top five and really had to work hard to get up there," said Creamer. "I was really hoping to find the box this round, but I'm going to come out swinging next round and make my way to the top of the box," 

While Creamer was disappointed, Rastrelli had a more positive view of his career-best seventh place finish. The young ITP Pro racer tallied seventh place in moto one and eighth place in the second moto, which put him seventh overall and right behind Creamer. More importantly, Rastrelli, who has earned 27 points the last two rounds, overcame a slow second moto to earn his best finish ever. In moto two, Rastrelli and another rider bumped at the start and soon after that he crashed. However, the ITP Pro recovered to climb into the top 10 and eventually finish eighth showing the poise of a true professional. Fellow ITP Pro, Root River Racing's Sean Taylor was 15th and fifth in the Pro-Am class, in which he's currently third in the standings.

Round seven of the 2013 Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship series heads to Steele City Raceway on July 6-7, in Delmont, Pa.
