Motoworks' Dillon Zimmerman grabbed the holeshot & would lead for most of the first lap & would later be DQ'ed for a penalty from helping teammate Frederick

Vista, CA (10/1/2010) - Motoworks’ Dillon Zimmerman grabbed his second holeshot of the season at round eight of the 2010 WORCS series, while Josh Frederick was able to maintain second in the Pro points standings.

The heat was intense at Glen Helen Raceway with temperatures reaching the triple digits, but that heat did not stop Dillon Zimmerman from charging off the start and grabbing his second holeshot of the season. Zimmerman led for most of the first lap and then maintained a steady top five position from that point in until the final laps of the race.

In the ninth lap, Zimmerman would sacrifice his own race to help out teammate Josh Frederick who was leading in series points and had run out of gas on the track. Zimmerman’s good deed unfortunately resulted in his disqualification from round eight, but he is still within striking distance of a top five finish in Pro points for the final round in October.

Motoworks' Josh Frederick would unfortunately run out of gas during his Pro race but still sits in championship contention in 2nd place in points

Josh Frederick put in an amazing charge as he battled his way from the very back of the pack to reach the number four position. Frederick was gaining ground on third place, but then disaster struck as Frederick ran out of gas in the ninth lap, which would end things early for him. Despite his unlucky day, Frederick is still in second in the points championship race and still has a chance at winning the Pro championship if luck is on his side.

The final round of the 2010 WORCS series will be held at Mesquite MX Park in Mesquite, NV on October 15th – 17th where the Motoworks team and Josh Frederick will be going for the win.
