Chino, CA (7/19/2010) - Yoshimura ATV racers
enjoyed another successful weekend of racing at
Round 9 of the AMA ATV Motocross Championship,
held in New Berlin, NY, at the famed Unadilla
Valley Sports Center. Yoshimura’s Josh Creamer
and Dustin Wimmer continued their string of successful
races, with Creamer taking his sixth win of the
season and Wimmer continuing his streak of podium
finishes and placing second overall. Yoshimura-sponsored
Thomas Brown and Patrick Brown also put in consistent
finishes and powered their way to top-10 finishes.
“I just want to keep this momentum going
until the end of the season,” Creamer
said. “The Yoshimura motor was really
good today and I’m happy with how this
season has gone for us so far!”

qualifier award & then took home
2nd place overall on Sunday after he
finished 2-4 in his Pro Motos

Wimmer and his Yoshimura-tuned QuadRacer R450
secured the fastest time in qualifying, and
in the first moto, got an excellent start, with
Creamer just a few positions back. By the end
of the race, Wimmer was able to hold on to second
place while Creamer put in a strong ride to
take the final podium spot. Yamaha rider Thomas
Brown finished the race just one spot outside
of the top five, while Honda-mounted Patrick
Brown secured a top-10 finish with ninth. Cody
Grant, the rookie in the pro class, just missed
the top-10 with an 11th-place finish.
The second moto saw the Rockstar Makita Suzuki
riders out front again, this time with Creamer
getting the better start of the two. Creamer
began a race-long battle for the lead, while
Wimmer pushed hard in a battle for fourth. As
the race wore on, however, Creamer made his
way into the lead and took the win, while Wimmer
was able to hold on to fourth place. Thomas
Brown was unable to match his first moto score,
finishing seventh, while Pat Brown improved
on his first moto outing, taking eighth place.
Cody Grant took rounded out the top-10.
“My Yosh motor worked really well today,”
Wimmer said after the race. “I got two
good holeshots and had power everywhere. It
was pretty hard to pass and the track was rough,
but overall, the race went well.”
