DWT / Motoworks' Josh Frederick took second at WORCS Round 4 at Speed World MX

Vista, CA (4/18/2012) – Can- Am / Motoworks’ Josh Frederick remains in the pro points lead after finishing on the podium at round number four of the 2012 WORCS series this past weekend, while Dillon Zimmerman came on strong to finish inside the top five.

Speed World MX in Surprise, AZ was the hosting facility for round number four of the WORCS series where good weather was on hand, but excessive watering made the track a bit slick in spots. Standing water did not seem to matter to the Can-Am/Motoworks team, however, as points leader, Josh Frederick shot off the start in the number three spot.

Frederick kept a fast and steady pace, as he waited for an opportunity to move up. Frederick didn’t have to wait long because in the second lap he would inherit second place. Frederick eventually took the lead for a short time in lap seven, but could not hold on. “I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather, so I just went out there and did my best,” he stated.

Despite being ill, Frederick finished in a respectable second place, which allowed him to maintain his points lead. “I got a decent start and battled for a little bit with a couple of guys and got into the lead. Even though I didn’t win, I was still able to take it to the podium. Even with all the standing water and slick conditions, the Can-Am was handling awesome. It really worked well out there and I couldn’t ask for anything more,” said Frederick.

“It was really slick out there, but my quad hooked up and the Motoworks engine had plenty of power that helped me to stay up in the top five. I’m glad I was able to finish in fourth but I am shooting for the podium at the next round,” said Zimmerman.
