Ronnie Higgerson
Hiram, Ohio 7-6-15: Vechery Racing/Never Sleep Designs’ Ronnie Higgerson finished 13th overall with Casey Martin finishing 16th overall at Spring Creek MX Park – Millville, MN this past weekend at round seven of the Mt. Dew AMA ATV motocross series.
The past few rounds have been rough for the #665 of Ronnie Higgerson. After two rounds of sunny skies then torrential down pours Higgerson was looking forward to two dry motos. Unfortunately the electrical problems that plagued Higgerson at the last round struck again in moto one of the day. Six laps into moto number one and running in fifth place Higgerson would find himself sitting on the side of the track watching the remaining laps. For the second moto the team would do their best to try and identify the issue and get Higgerson back on the line. Higgerson would run as high as sixth in the second moto before ultimately crossing the finish line in ninth. Higgerson heads to round seven in seventh place overall in Pro points.
Casey Martin
Casey Martin’s day would be eerily similar to Higgerson as Martin would go onto have issues sidelining him as well. At the five lap mark of the second moto Martin’s machine would start to lose power around the rough Minnesota track until he pulled off to the side of the track. Casey now sits 13th overall in points as the Vechery racing team heads back to Ohio to diagnose the issues with both race bikes and get them ready for round eight in New York.
Vechery Racing/Never Sleep Designs Satellite support rider Bryce Barber would go on to finish sixth in Open B and ninth in 450B. Alex Pafford was sidelined again this weekend with a wrist injury while Youth rider Tristan Evans continues to impress with two first place overall finishes along with a third and fourth overall.
