Can-Am/
Motoworks' Josh Frederick won the ATV Pro
Class at WORCS Round 8 |
Valcourt, Québec (10/25/2011)
- Motoworks / Can-Am DS 450 racer Josh Frederick
won round eight of the 2011 World Off-Road Championship
Series, held in Race Town 395 in Adelanto, Calif.
Frederick is now tied with his teammate Jeremie
Warnia, who finished third, for the Pro championship
points lead with only one round remaining.
"Josh showed a lot of poise and determination
to come from behind and notch his third win of
2011. He has really put in a late charge, winning
three of the last five rounds aboard his Can-Am
DS 450, in his attempt to repeat as WORCS champion,”
said Jimmie O'Dell, Race Manager, Can-Am. "I’m
proud of how well both Josh and Jeremie have ridden
this year and at the Adelanto event as they each
held the lead prior to Josh earning the win. We
as a team, are in a great position and hope to
see one of these two very talented and determined
Can-Am racers holding up that championship trophy
in three weeks at the WORCS finale.”
Frederick was in fifth place after the first
two laps. However, by lap No. 7 he had moved into
second place behind Warnia. One lap later he passed
his teammate for the lead position. A quick pit
stop on lap 10 dropped Frederick to second, but
the reigning WORCS ATV Pro Champion regained the
lead and pressed on for the victory. It was the
third victory of the season for Frederick and
his eight straight Pro class podium finish.
“It felt great to take the win and my Can-Am
ran great,” said Frederick. “We did
a bunch of testing and dialed in our suspension
really well and it was flawless. I know that all
I need to do is finish ahead of Jeremie at the
final to take the championship, but I still want
to go out there and take the win.”
