SHILLING, LANKFORD & GIPPLE
ALL WINNERS ON HOOSIER ATV MX TIRES
AT AMA ATV MOTOCROSS NATIONALS AT RED BUD 

BUCHANAN, MI (August 1-2, 2009) -- This past weekend at Red Bud there were three more riders capturing overall class wins while riding on Hoosier tires. Randy Shilling, Tim Lankford and Tanner Gipple each claimed overall wins in their respective classes on Hoosier ATV tires. The three riders are among the growing list of winners on Hoosier's new ATV MX tires. In addition to these riders, Harold Goodman was also the Holeshot Award winner in the 2nd Moto of the AMA Pro ATV class on Hoosiers. The event at Red Bud attracted more than 700 riders.

Randy Shilling (upper right) looks to be back on track after an early-season injury sidelined him for two events. Shilling shook off the effects of his shoulder injury to win both his Motos and capture the overall win in the 4-Stroke A class. Prior to this year, the Winona Lake, IN rider had never won a national event. Now, after making the switch to the Hoosier brand, he has three national event wins and is second overall in the 4-Stroke A class.
 

Timmy Lankford (at left) joined Shilling in being a double winner when he captured both of his Motos in the 450C class. 

With the two Moto wins the Madisonville, TN rider captured the overall victory on his #9 Suzuki. 

Amazingly, Lankford was the only rider among the 30 class starters to use the Hoosier brand.

Lankford is currently leading the overall 450C class with five overall wins this season. 

While in the 90 Modified (8-15) class, Tanner Gipple (lower right) completed the trifecta for Team-Hoosier by claiming wins in both of his Motos. 

The two wins were more than enough for the New London, IA rider to capture the overall 90 Modified (8-15) class win.

It was also the first national event win of the season for the young rider.  

Gipple now ranks third overall in the season standings in the 90 Modified (8-15) class.

Hoosier Racing Tire would like to congratulate Tanner Gipple, Timmy Lankford and Randy Shilling for putting the Hoosier brand atop the podium in their respective classes.
