Can-Am/ Motoworks' Josh Frederick & teammate Jeremie Warnia take podium by placing first and third at round 6 Washougal MX

Vista, CA (8/25/2011) – Can-Am / Motoworks’ Josh Frederick topped the podium in Washougal, Washington and closed in on the pro points lead, while teammate Jeremie Warnia joined him on the podium in third.

It was five years since the WORCS series had seen the loamy soils of Washougal where warm weather and dry conditions helped the Motoworks team charge their way through the trees to the pro podium.

Current champ, Josh Frederick flew off the start, grabbing the pro holeshot. “I got the holeshot, which doesn’t happen too often, so I was pretty happy about that,” stated Frederick.

Frederick’s lead would not last however and he would fall back to the number three spot in the first lap. Frederick began to pace himself, but stayed close to the leaders and in the last half of the race, Frederick took over the lead. Once back out front, Frederick put the hammer down and put in a solid one minute lead over the rest of the competition and took it all the way to the checkered flag.

“I felt really good out there and everything went flawlessly. It felt good to take the win and close in on the points lead a little more. We still have a few rounds left in the season so I am hoping to close the points gap and take home a championship at the end of the season,” said Frederick.

Jeremie Warnia was looking good as well. Warnia was in third off the start and moved into second early in the first lap. Warnia held his position for several laps before falling back to third when teammate Frederick made a charge for the front. Warnia held on to third and rode unchallenged all the way to the finish line. Warnia is still in the points lead with 137 points, and his teammate Frederick is only five points away, but Warnia is determined to stay in the lead.

“I want to win the championship and I will do my best to win the rest of the races this year,” said Warnia.

Dillon Zimmerman looked solid and consistent as he held off a challenge from Josh Row late in the race. Zimmerman kept his cool, stayed consistent and didn’t make any mistakes and ended his day in seventh place.

In the Side-by-Side Class One race, Mark Holz took the Motoworks/Can-Am Commander to the podium. Holz was in second off the start and moved into the lead in lap three. Holz recorded the fastest lap time of the race in lap four with a time of 09:18.083. Holz held the lead for two laps before falling to second place where he would remain at the checkered flag.

Round number seven of the 2011 WORCS series will head to the sandy soils of Glen Helen in San Bernardino, CA on September 16th – 18th where Motoworks’ Josh Frederick and Jeremie Warnia will be going for the podium as they battle it out for the championship points lead.
