Creek ATV MX National

Chino, CA (6/16/2010) - Round 6 of the
AMA ATV Motocross Championship was another successful
weekend of racing for Yoshimura-powered racers
at Spring Creek in Millville, Minnesota. Josh
Creamer took home his fourth win of the season
in convincing fashion with 1-1 moto finishes,
and is now leading the series points by 15.
“It’s a great feeling leading,
but I gotta keep my head on straight and not
get overly confident because we still have a
lot of racing left,” Creamer said after
the race. With two holeshots, two wins, and
the overall, Creamer was unstoppable on Sunday
at the Spring Creek track.
He and teammate Dustin Wimmer set the pace
in qualifying, with Wimmer grabbing the top
spot and Creamer in a close second. With their
choice of gates, the Yoshimura racers were ready
to race on the technical and rutted track.

Suzuki's #9 Josh Creamer

Creamer and his Yoshimura-powered Suzuki QuadRacer R450 had all the power he
needed to not only get out front, but to also
stretch a gap between him and the rest of the
racers on the track. Creamer easily grabbed
the holeshot and checked out in both motos.
“The power of the Yosh engine was great,
and there was plenty of traction because they
got a lot of rain this week before the race,”
Creamer said.
“We pretty much nailed everything we
tried as far as setup goes. It’s a good
feeling to win and we’re just going to
hold on and keep racing from here on out.”
Creamer has now won four motos in a row and
six total. He’s been on the podium at
every round so far in 2010 and shows no signs
of letting up.

Creamer’s teammate and two-time defending AMA ATV Motocross champion
Dustin Wimmer also secured two good starts,
getting to the first turn in the top 5 in both
races. In Moto 1, Wimmer was in fifth for most
of the race, but powered his way past competitors
to put himself and his Yoshimura-tuned Suzuki
on the podium in third place on the final laps
of the race. In Moto 2, Wimmer earned a hard-fought
fourth place and ended the day in fourth place
overall. He is currently second in points and
has been consistent aboard his quad all year.
While he just missed out on the podium for
the overall, expect to see the back-to-back
Champion in the fray at Muddy Creek next weekend
in Tennessee.

Pat Brown was back on the gas for round
6 as he went 7-7 for 6th place overall
on the day

Pat Brown took his Yoshimura-powered Honda
450R to seventh-place finishes in both motos
and finished the day in sixth overall. Brown
has been in the top 10 for most of the season,
thanks to the power that Yoshimura R&D of
America found inside the Honda’s engine.
“The bike ran well, and it was really
fast and I almost got the holeshots in both
motos,” Pat said after the race. “My
Yoshimura engine got me two great starts, and
now I just have to finish up front. I’m
going to prepare this week for Muddy Creek and
train in the heat, and look forward to better
finishes in Tennessee.”
Cody Grant took his Yoshimura-powered Suzuki
QuadRacer R450 to the best finish of his Pro
career so far at Spring Creek. He finished in
the top 10 in both motos and took ninth overall
on Sunday. In his first year in the Pro class,
Grant has shown great promise and the power
of his Yoshimura quad has helped him secure
some great finishes.
Round 7 of the AMA ATV Motocross Championship
takes place June 19-20 at Muddy Creek Raceway
in Blountville, Tennessee.
