RENNER WINS INAUGURAL
EDGE OF SUMMER MX
R
icky Renner pocketed the
lion's share of the $50,000
purse that was offered at the
inaugural Edge of Summer
MX held on the grounds of the
Soaring Eagle Resort & Casino
in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, on
August 31. For winning the Pro
class, Renner walked away with
$10,000.
Renner got off to a fast start
in the 20-lap main event and on
a track that featured part Super-
cross and part motocross, but
Kyle Chisholm soon came call-
ing. At one point, Chisholm over-
took the lead but crashed out
shortly thereafter, giving the lead
back to Renner, who went on to
take the victory by just a few sec-
onds over Michigan's own Nick
Wey, who claimed $8000 of the
purse.
Minnesota's Mitch Oldenberg
filled out the Pro-class podium.
Fourth went to James Decotis
and fifth to Jimmy Albertson.
Earlier in the evening, Jeff Gib-
son claimed the victory in the Vet
class over Michigan's Kelly Smith
and John Grewe.
The event also included a
Super Mini class, where Chase
Sexton and Joey Crown went at it
for the win. The two riders, both
from Illinois, quickly distanced
themselves from the rest of the
field with Sexton holding on for
the exciting win.
Third went to Canada's Tanner
Ward.
Also in attendance but not
competing was the RCH Racing
Team, which included team own-
ers Ricky Carmichael and Carey
Hart and team riders Broc Tickle,
Weston Peick and Ivan Tedesco.

MOSS DEFENDS TITLE
M
att Moss, of Team Motul Su-
zuki, successfully defended
his Australian Motocross Cham-
pionship MX1 number-one plate
after clinching the 2014 title in
Coolum, Queensland, Australia,
September 1. It is the Australian's
fourth career National title. Moss
won the MX2 title in 2009 and '11,
and the MX1 title in 2013 and '14.
Moss finished fifth overall in
the final but it was more than
enough to give him and Suzuki
the title.
"It was really hard having the
red plate from the start, even
more difficult than last year's
championship, but all in all it's
been a great year for Team Motul
Suzuki," Moss said. "We'll look
to keep going from here and I've
