World MX WORCS Round 4

Baxter, MN (4/20/2012) - FOX
athlete Josh Frederick overcame adversity and
tough track conditions in the Arizona desert to
finish in second place of the fourth round of
the World Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS)
and keep the series points lead, while his teammate
Dillon Zimmerman rode to a solid top five finish.
Slick conditions were the order of the day
due to abundant water on the course. The hard-packed
sand left pools of water standing and made a
slippery mess in many areas, but Frederick was
in control as he charged off the start in third
place.
Frederick kept a fast and steady pace going
into the first couple of laps and was able to
move into the No. 2 spot. Frederick held his
position for several laps and took over the
first spot when the leader pulled into the pits.

Frederick was soon under fire from the competition,
and due to a recent illness, fatigue got the
best of him, and he fell back. Despite feeling
under the weather, Frederick held strong and
finished in second place.
“We did a lot of testing for this track
and our FOX suspension worked awesome. I’m
really excited with the positive outcome,”
Frederick said.
FOX athlete Zimmerman also put in a strong
effort and came out in the No. 4 spot off the
starting line. Zimmerman rode a smart and consistent
race and finished in fourth place for the day.

“My FOX suspension was perfectly dialed
in, and it really helped to get me through some
of the rough spots today and not get to beat
up,” Zimmerman said.
Round five of the 2012 WORCS series will be
held from May 11-13 at Racetown 395 MX Park
in Adelanto, Calif.
