Can-Am DS450 ATV Racers Win
7 NEATV-MX Class Championships
Can-Am
Claims 22 Top-3 Finishes in NEATV-MX Series
Valcourt, Québec (10/14/2011)
– Can-Am DS 450 racers won seven class championships
and earned a total of 15 top-three finishes in other
classes after the final race of the 2011 New England
ATV Motocross series. Motoworks / Can-Am DS 450
Pro class competitor Josh Creamer came up 15 points
short in his quest for a Pro championship due to
a broken chain in the first Pro class moto.
"I was proud of Josh Creamer’s effort
this year and second place is nothing to be ashamed
of that’s for sure. A broken chain is out
of your control, but, sadly, it’s part of
racing,” said Jimmie O'Dell, Race Manager,
Can-Am. “I was pleased to see so many Can-Am
DS 450 ATVs compete in the New England MX series
this year and to have seven amateur class titles.”

Motoworks/
Can-Am's Josh Creamer was leading the
Pro Class points until his chain snapped
in the first Pro moto at Hemonds MX
|
Creamer held a 10-point advantage in the Pro
class standings coming into the finale at Hemonds
MX in Minot, Maine. However, a broken chain on
the first lap of the first Pro class moto resulted
in a DNF and mathematically eliminated Creamer
for the Pro title chase. The skilled pro remained
focused, however, and won the second moto to go
along with a double-moto sweep in the Pro-Am class.
Creamer ended up second overall in both the Pro
and Pro-Am classes aboard his Can-Am DS 450.
Fellow Can-Am Pro racer Cody Miller, who did
not compete in the final due to a crash in practice,
earned third in the Pro and Pro-Am class championships
riding his BCS Performance / Can-Am DS 450. Canadian
rider Jasmin Plante filled in for Miller in the
Pro-Am class at Hemonds MX and adapted very quickly
to the DS 450, earning a very respectable third-place
overall finish.
