Chino, CA (7/7/2010) - Yoshimura racers
added to their collection of championship points
at Pleasure Valley in Armagh, Pennsylvania, on
Sunday. Four of the top-10 racers were powered
by Yoshimura, and Josh Creamer and Dustin Wimmer
are still on top of the leader board in championship
points heading into the final three rounds of
the 2010 season.
In the first moto, Dustin Wimmer and his Yoshimura-powered
Suzuki QuadRacer R450 battled for the lead the
entire race. The defending AMA ATV Motocross
Champion’s capable and powerful quad kept
him in contention for the lead, but when the
checkered flag flew he was in second place.

Yoshimura's
Dustin Wimmer finished 2nd in the first
moto but took a 5th place in the second
moto giving him 4th overall just off
the podium but still in 2nd place in
Pro points

His teammate Josh Creamer took his Yoshimura-prepped Suzuki through the pack to
finish fourth after a rough start. Yoshimura riders
Thomas Brown and Pat Brown finished eighth and
tenth, respectively.
Moto two had a different ending for Josh Creamer.
The current points leader was unsatisfied with
his finish in the first moto, so he shot out
of the gate in the second moto ready to show
the world what his Yoshimura-powered machine
can do. He found his way up front quickly and
then checked out.

Creamer easily won the moto and added to his
already sizeable points lead. Dustin Wimmer
found himself in fifth by the end of the moto,
and Thomas Brown wasn’t too far behind
him in seventh. Pat Brown took ninth in the
moto.
“The weekend went well, and even though
I struggled making passes in moto one, I regrouped
and we made a few changes to the quad and it
worked!” Creamer said after the race.
“The Yoshimura motor powered me to the
moto win and second overall. I went into the
weekend with one goal and I achieved it with
the help of Yoshimura.”

such great racers,” ATV Marketing Manager

put together a great season so far and their
results show that not only do the best riders
in the world choose Yoshimura products, but
Yoshimura products work on whatever brand ATV
you choose.”
The series moves to Unadilla in New York on
July 18th. With only three races remaining in
the season, the Yoshimura riders are powering
their way to another championship year.
