as Creamer took 1st place overall with
Wimmer right behind in 2nd place |
Brea, CA (7/19/2010) - Round
nine of the AMA ATV Motocross Championship at
Unadilla, New York, proved to be another great
weekend of racing for the Rockstar Makita Suzuki
ATV team. Utilizing their race-proven QuadRacer
R450s, points-leader Josh Creamer added another
win to his already impressive season, while
defending champion Dustin Wimmer logged another
consistent second-place finish.
“I couldn’t ask for anything
more from my quad or my team,” Creamer
said. “I just want to keep this momentum
going and finish off the season on top!”

Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer won
the fastest qualifier award by setting
a blistering pace on the Unadilla Valley
MX track during Saturday's Qualifying
round |
The weekend started in excellent fashion
for Wimmer. The two-time series champion won
the fastest qualifier award and looked poised
for a great result. When the gates fell on
the first moto, Wimmer had a second-place
start while Creamer was just a few spots back.
As the race wore on, Wimmer continued to chase
after the leader while Creamer moved into
the third spot. However, time had run out
for Wimmer and Creamer, who would cross the
line in second and third, respectively.
The start of moto two saw both of the Rockstar
Makita Suzukis in the top five by the end
of the first lap. This time, however, it was
Creamer in second. As Creamer embarked on
a race-long battle for the lead, Wimmer was
battling for fourth on the notoriously rough
track. Creamer and the QuadRacer R450 were
able to power into the lead and hold on to
the finish, while Wimmer kept it consistent,
finishing in fourth.
For Creamer, the 3-1 moto scores were enough
to give him his sixth overall victory of the
year, while Wimmer's 2-4 moto scores gave
him second, putting the Suzuki QuadRacer R450
in the top two spots of the podium.

Suzuki's #9 Josh Creamer
went 3-1 on the day at Unadilla to claim
his 6th overall race win of the 2010
season & extend his points lead
to +30 over teammate Wimmer |
"The QuadRacer R450 worked out really well and overall it handled good throughout
the track!" said Wimmer. "I got two
good holeshots and the first race went pretty
well. I came out second, but couldn't make up
any ground and stayed there the whole moto.
In the second moto, I ended up fourth. It was
pretty hard to pass and the track was rough,
but overall, the race went well."
"It was a great race," said Yoshimura
R&D of America’s Marketing Manager
Kory Ellis, who overseas the team. "Josh
and Dustin both got on the podium, the QuadRacer
R450 continued to work great, and with two
races left in the season, hopefully we will
have the championship wrapped up by the next
round!"
Creamer leads Wimmer in the championship
points by 30 points as the series heads into
Buchanan, Michigan for Round 10 of the AMA
ATV Motocross Championship at the famed Red
Bud MX track.
