Josh Upperman placed fifth at Spring Creek
MX aboard his Baldwin Motorsports Honda
TRX450R ATV |
North Kingsville, OH (6/8/2011)
- Baldwin Motorsports’ Josh
Upperman put in two solid motos at round number
five of the AMA ATV Motocross Championships to
claim yet another top five finish and remain in
the top three in pro points.
Spring Creek in Millville, MN was the hosting
facility for this round and saw unseasonably
warm and humid temps that took their toll on
many racers and the rough track only added to
the fatigue, but Baldwin Motorsports’
Josh Upperman stayed consistent through both
motos.
In the first moto, Upperman was in third off
the start and came under fire from Chad Wienen.
Upperman held on for two laps before Wienen
got by. Upperman would eventually finish out
his moto in fifth place. “I got a little
bit tired out there because of the heat, but
I tried to ride smart and I was able to stay
in the top five,” said Upperman.

In moto two, Upperman was in second off the
start but again came under attack by Chad Wienen.
Upperman would also find himself doing battle
with Thomas Brown and Jeremy Lawson, which would
put him back into fifth place once again as
he crossed the finish line. “The track
was really rough out there so I am happy to
finish in the top five and keep in the top three
in points. I am going to go home and do some
more training and hopefully do better at the
next round,” stated Upperman.
Upperman’s consistency this season has
allowed him to enjoy a somewhat comfortable
third place in points with 253 points, 12 points
ahead of fourth place. “My goal is to
hang in there and stay in the top three. We
have been working hard all season and I think
we will be able to do just that,” said
Upperman.
Josh Upperman will be training hard over the
next few weeks and will be ready to go for round
number eight, which will be heading to Sunday
Creek in Millfield, OH on July 2nd – 3rd
where Josh Upperman will be trying to put his
Baldwin Motorsports Honda TRX 450R on the podium.
