NBL BMX Racing Flying High After Competitive Weekend In Lexington

Online, May 25, 2010 (Newswire.com) - GAHANNA, OH -- The NBL Dixieland Nationals, held at Lexington BMX in Lexington, South Carolina, May 22-23, drew over 1000 racers and fans to take part in some of the most intense Southern racing action this season. The sixth race of the season for the NBL's Elite Series, the Dixieland Nationals, featured more than 400 fast Pros and top amateur riders from across the country on the world-class Lexington track.

The Saturday evening Pro Spectacular began with R&B and blues from master guitarist and Grammy-nominee, Stacy Mitchhart and the Stacy Mitchhart Band. Fun contests and exciting giveaways for fans included more than $2000 in prizes, including an autographed helmet from Olympic Gold Medalist, Maris Strombergs and all the Free Agent/Rockstar riders.

Pros from all over America, as well as Colombia, Brazil, and Latvia converged for a hugely successful autograph signing, and then the big action began at 5pm! The Free Agent/Rockstar ride of Maris Strombergs powered to a big win in the main event over Josh Meyers and Holland's Robert Dewilde.
