AMSOIL Riders Pull Off Pair of Thirds

July 26, 2004 ~ Kevin Windham showed top form in the 250 class and Josh Grant continued to impress in 125cc competition as the outdoor national motocross roared into round seven. After a one-year hiatus due to heavy rain and flooded grounds, the AMA/Chevrolet U.S. Motocross National Championships sponsored by AMSOIL returned to Kenworthy's Motocross Park in Troy, Ohio last weekend.

Windham of AMSOIL/Chaparral/Honda has been nicknamed "Windstorm" by some people because of his fast laps, dirt-churning style and relentless pursuit of perfection. Windham pulled off a pair of third place moto finishes to solidify his third place in the overall standings.

Josh Grant may be too new to the pro ranks to have a nickname, but they might start with "Wonder Kid." Having just turned pro prior to the outdoor motocross season, Grant is showing he's a fast learner and awesome talent. Grant posted an impressive second and a strong fourth in his motos to earn third place for the day. He's fifth in the overall points as a rookie, which is remarkable, but at this pace it's conceivable he could climb into the top three by season's end.

Team AMSOIL also finished with two more riders in the top ten for round seven of 125. Greg Schnell looked completely back to full form following injury with his ninth place finish thanks to motos of 11th and ninth. Chris Gosselaar continues to battle a shoulder problem, but didn't let it bother him for 10th place overall. He went 12th and 10th in his motos.
