DWT / Motoworks' Josh Frederick currently sits second in the Pro ATV Class Points after Round 6

Vista, CA (6/21/2012) – The toughest course of the season presented itself for round six of the 2012 WORCS series, but Can-Am/Motoworks’ Josh Frederick was still able to overcome the odds and finish within the top five while teammate Dillon Zimmerman finished well inside the top ten.

The course at On the Edge Raceway in Enterprise, UT was only five miles long, but it featured six water crossings that wreaked havoc on racers and their machines. The water crossings were treacherous with very deep parts and big rocks in other parts. The course was also quite narrow and rough, which led to many bottlenecks over the course of the event.

It was a dead engine start for this round, but Josh Frederick was ready and came of the line just outside of the top five. Despite a couple of small issues caused by all of the deep water, Josh Frederick continued to move forward and was within the top five by the second lap. Frederick soon caught up to the number four racer and began to apply the pressure. Frederick moved into fourth early in the race and was able to maintain his position and take fourth at the checkered flag. “I felt good this weekend and the bike was amazing, but this was a very tough race. I had a couple issues because of the water, but I never gave up and did the best I could. This is the first time I have finished off the podium in a couple years so this is a little different for me. Everyone puts a lot of work into our program and I want to put the Can-Am back on the podium next round,” said Frederick, who is still in second in points and in contention for the 2012 pro championship.

Dillon Zimmerman placed seventh at On the Edge Raceway

Dillon Zimmerman was just outside the top five off the start, right behind Josh Frederick, but Zimmerman ended up getting stuck at one of the many water crossings, in the second lap, which put him back to 13th place. Zimmerman wasn’t about to give up and kept on the gas and after just a couple of laps, he was able to move into seventh place. Zimmerman held down the number seven spot for the rest of the race, finishing in seventh at the checkered flag. “This track was a lot different than what we usually race. I tried to get creative and make my own lines and try different ones. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t, but I never gave up. Even with all the water out there, Motoworks had my quad running great and I never had any issues, except for getting stuck, but that was just part of this race,” said Zimmerman, who is currently fourth in points.

Josh Frederick placed seventh piloting his Motoworks / Can-Am Commander SxS at WORCS Round 6

The brutal course was not much better for the Side-by-Side classes, but Josh Frederick was able to pilot his Motoworks Can-Am Commander to a solid seventh place finish. “I got a little hung up in the third lap and I lost a couple of positions, but I just stayed on the gas and finished in seventh. I think I’m sixth in points right now, which isn’t too bad for my first season. I’ve been having a blast racing the Commander so I hope I can finish well and the last couple of rounds,” said Frederick.

After a short summer break, the WORCS series will pick back up on August 3rd – 5th where the Motoworks team will head to their home track at Cahuilla Creek MX in Anza, CA, where Josh Frederick will be going for the win.
