Can-Am/ Motoworks' Jeremie Warnia took his second win of the season at round 3 of the WORCS Racing Series

Vista, CA (3/23/2011) – Motoworks’ Jeremie Warnia and Josh Frederick had more to celebrate than just spring break at Lake Havasu this past weekend as the pair went one and two on the pro podium at round number three of the 2011 WORCS series.

Normally, the Lake Havasu round can get quite warm as temps usually spike into the 90’s, but this year racers caught a break from the heat as skies remained overcast and temps hovered in the upper 70’s for the day. A rough and sandy track was on hand for racers at the Crazy Horse GP facility, but that didn’t stop the Motoworks team from dominating.

As racers came off the dead engine start, Jeremie Warnia was in second, right behind Jarrod McClure. Warnia followed McClure until only about a mile into the first lap and passed him in the motocross section of the track. Warnia then started to pull away from the pack, but teammate Josh Frederick would catch up after a few laps and the pair would battle furiously back and forth, but it was Warnia who was first to reach the checkered flag, taking his second WORCS win of the season, giving him a firm grasp on the pro points lead. “I am very happy to win another race and I am hoping to win a championship for my team,” said Warnia after the race.

Working his way up from a top five start Josh Frederick made his way up to second place to finish the race

Josh Frederick was in the top five off the start and was quickly working his way up. Frederick gained a position early in the first lap when McClure crashed shortly after getting passed by Warnia. Frederick recorded the fastest lap time of the race in lap two with a time of 06:03.697. It was that blistering pace that allowed him to catch up to Warnia and challenge him for the lead. The two racers were bumper-to-bumper and tire-to-tire for much of the race with Frederick taking over the lead briefly in lap nine. Frederick fell back to second in the next lap, but he never fell off the pace and stayed with Warnia all the way to the checkered flag and finished in second only two seconds behind. “It was a rough track out there, but it was a good race and I am happy with how I rode,” said Frederick.

Dillon Zimmerman was able to finish with a respectful tenth place coming back from a shoulder injury

Dillon Zimmerman was back from a shoulder injury that kept him out of round two. Zimmerman was looking good off the start and was holding down fourth place, but since he is still not at 100%, his injury got the best of him, so he put it in cruise control in order to salvage points.

Round number four of the 2011 WORCS series will be heading to Cahuilla Creek in Anza, CA on April 22nd - 24th where the Motoworks team will be once again looking to dominate the podium.
