August 16, 2009 - Walton, ON 2009 Monster Energy National – Final Round  With undeniable podium and top five finishes, our first year was definitely impressive and showed our team’s dedication and commitment to our valued sponsors. 2009 National Finishes MX1- Liam O’Farrell #28 completed in solid positions every moto and finished 8th place overall fro 2009, which is an improvement of 300% from 2008!!! MX2 – Kerim Fitgerald #19 had an amazing last few rounds. He definitely had us all on the edge from the first lap to the lap with two first place overall finishes. This year saw Kerim finishing the 2009 season with a National Number 4!!! Congratulations Kerim! You deserve it. Now a run down of WALTON’s race: Walton’s weather was hot and sunny, and for the fans was the best it had been in a few years. The riders, I am sure, wished it was a little cooler, but the Orange Motorsports, RTR Performance, Troy Lee Design, and KTM team consisting of #19 Fitz-Gerald and #28 O’Farrell powered up with Red Bull and were READY TO RACE when the gate dropped. MX2 – Kerim Fitz-Gerald #19 After last weekend’s exceptional ride, Kerim and his mechanic went to the line to prove the results achieved at SDL were made up of true skill and determination. The gate dropped and Kerim pulled top five around the first corner and rode to finish first. The second moto saw Kerim take the hole shot on his KTM 250SXF and stay in first with a 7 - 5 second lead on the battle for second. On the podium, Kerim thanked his team and all his sponsors with pride and emotion that is not always seen. MX1 – Liam O’Farrell #28 Well true to form #28 started around mid pack each moto and charged hard. In the first moto, Liam came around the first lap in 13th position. Each lap he was able to run consistent lap times, which allowed him to gain positions and pass other riders. Overall for the day, #28 placed 4th. Great ride, Liam! After the day, our team decided that we were all going to put our dollars together and BUY #28 a start for next year!!! A Special Thank-You to Our Sponsors. We had a great first year at the Nationals and were proud to promote each of you as our sponsors.
