Los Angeles, CA
(2/28/2011) - Bomb Squad Racing’s
Josh Creamer claimed his second holeshot of
the season and first career WORCS victory at
round 2 of the 2011 WORCS series at Buffalo
Bill’s Resort and Casino in Primm, NV.
Josh now sits just four points behind current
points leader Jeremy Warnia in the race for
the 2011 championship.
Track conditions in Primm were cold and wet
due to a winter storm that rolled in from
the west. Snow, sleet and freezing temperatures
descended on the track all day Saturday, and
though the snow had melted by Sunday morning,
bitterly cold temperatures still made it a
tough race for everyone.
Creamer grabbed a monster holeshot at the
start of the pro race, his second of the season,
but dropped to second after misjudging the
pit area entrance. "Josh came in there
really fast and I think it caught him by surprise,"
Team manager Kory Ellis said after the race.
“I looked up and saw his bike flipping
and hay everywhere and thought, ‘This
isn’t going to be good.'"
"It looked worse than it really was,"
Creamer said of the mishap. "Once I knew
I was going to hit the hay-bales, I jumped
off. The bike kind of exploded the hay, so
it looked pretty wild, but I just walked over,
hopped back on and took off. I had a big lead
on Warnia, but he passed me during that mess
right as I was getting back on my quad."
After recovering from his spectacular crash,
Creamer settled into second behind French
rider Jeremy Warnia and paced himself, waiting
for an opportunity to strike. That opportunity
came when Warnia had to pit on lap six, and
Josh once again took over the lead. Once in
the lead, Josh put the hammer down and powered
the Bomb Squad Honda to his first WORCS win.
"It feels great to get this win,"
Creamer said after the race. "I'm learning
a little bit more at each race. I slowed down
a little bit this time and rode at a more
relaxed pace. I've also been training a lot,
and came into this event ready to race. The
training and pacing myself paid off. This
was a much easier race for me than the last
one, and I had a lot of fun out there."
