With stormy weather forecasted throughout the week leading up to Saturday and Sunday's Southwestern National, many in the ATV community figured the race would be a wash out. However, due to hard work by track owner Dale Schultz and his crew, and the WPSA PowerSports ATV Tour operations team, the event, the first for the Tour west of the Mississippi, was a complete success.

"Lightning, thunder, rain, wind and even hail decended upon the track during the week, but dedication, hard work and determination by Dale and Darby Schultz and their staff, as well as our own crew really made this event a reality," said Kent Lungstrom, executive vice president of operations for PowerSports Entertainment, Inc. "Dale really deserves our gratitude for running a truly world-class facility."

The next race for the PowerSports ATV Tour, The Blue Ridge Open Championship, is scheduled for June 16-17 at Daniel Boone MX in London, Ky.
