Can-Am / Motoworks' Josh Frederick took his first win of the season at Buffalo Bills WORCS round 2

Vista, CA (2/14/2012) – Can-Am/Motoworks’ Josh Frederick claimed victory at round number two of the 2012 WORCS series while his teammate Dillon Zimmerman grabbed the holeshot off of the dead engine start.

Buffalo Bill’s Casino and Resort in Primm, NV was the hosting facility for the second round of the series, and perfect weather was on tap for the weekend. Unfortunately, the dry weather created quite a bit of dust for racers, but Josh Frederick had a plan in place for coping with the poor visibility. Frederick was just outside of the top five on the start and knew he had to get out of the dust. “I just rode cautiously and once I moved up a little and got out of the dust, it all went pretty well for me,” said Josh Frederick.

Frederick did more than just move up a little. He recorded the fastest lap time of the race in the second lap with a time of 08:25.355 and moved into second place by the end of the second lap. Frederick soon caught up to the leader and waited for an opportunity to make a clean pass and take over the lead.

Once out front, Frederick put the hammer down and began to pull away from the competition and took the checkered flag over a minute ahead of second place. “It felt great to take that win. It felt like it had been a long time since I was on top of the box, and I can’t thank Can-Am and Motoworks enough for helping get there. The Can-Am shines in the rough and today was definitely a rough one,” stated Josh Frederick.

Dillon Zimmerman was very impressive early in the race. Zimmerman charged off the dead engine start and grabbed the pro holeshot. Zimmerman led for two laps before an issue caused him to fall back. Zimmerman soon got back on track, and charged his way back into the top ten. Zimmerman held his ground and finished in eighth place. “I was pretty excited to get the holeshot. I think that being able to get the holeshot like that really says a lot about the Can-Am and what amazing power it has,” said Zimmerman.

In the Side-by-Side 1000 Production class, Josh Frederick gave it his all in his second time behind the wheel of the Can-Am Commander. Frederick came off the line and ended up getting pushed out, which almost caused him to flip, but Frederick was quick to react and despite losing a few spots, he stayed right side up and continued to charge. Frederick still had his work cut out for him as this was one of the biggest SxS classes to date, so he stayed consistent and was able to make his way through traffic and take home a fourth place finish. “It was pretty sketchy off the start, but I was lucky and didn’t tip over. I just tried to stay focused and I was able to move up and finish inside the top five. This was only my second time behind the wheel, so I think there will be some improvement every round as I get used to the machine,” said Frederick.

Round number three of the 2012 WORCS series will have the Motoworks team heading to the beautiful shores of Lake Havasu, AZ on March 16th – 18th where the Motoworks team will be going for the win.
