Millville,
MN – Josh Creamer
took the overall win aboard his Rockstar Makita
Suzuki during round six of the AMA Pro ATV MX championship
at Spring Creek Motocross Park in Millville, MN.
Creamer was able to lead start to finish in both
motos, dominating the field at one of the roughest
track these riders have seen. With Creamer's win,
he now is 15 points ahead of his teammate and two
time defending Champion, Dustin Wimmer for the 2010
ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship.
"This weekend went really well for me"
Josh Creamer said. "I was able to put the
Rockstar Makita Suzuki back on top again, and
further my points lead. What can I say? That's
a great weekend."
Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer started
the weekend off on a high note when he won the
ATVRiders.com $100 Fastest Qualifier award, just
tenths of a second faster than teammate Creamer,
and in the position to take the first gate pick.
Creamer may have had the second gate pick, but
that didn't keep him from earning the $250 MotorcycleUSA.com
holeshot award. With Creamer to an early lead,
the real action was taking place in the rear of
the pack. Can-Am/Motoworks Chad Wienen started
the first moto with a mid pack holeshot, and immediately
began to pass through the field. Throughout the
race, he passed a rider every few laps, finally
making it to the 2nd spot just before the white
flag began waving. Dustin Wimmer on the other
hand was biding his time in the 5th spot for the
majority of the first moto, but made up two positions
in just the last 4 laps of the race, passing John
Natalie just shy of the white flag for the third
spot.
Moto two started with Creamer earning another
$250 MotorcycleUSA.com holeshot award. As Creamer
leaped out to the early lead, Wienen was in the
rear of the field battling for track position.
By the end of the first straight away, he had
already passed a number of riders, and by the
end of the first lap, was already into the fifth
position. On the sixith lap, Wienen passed his
teammate John Natalie, and both moved into the
second and third spot respectively. Wimmer finished
behind the Can-Am teammates in the forth position.
"Things are starting to come together"
said Wienen, who has struggled all season long.
"I had a lot of fun here. The track was really
rough, but it made us really creative with our
lines."
Wienen earned the 2nd spot overall, marking his
first time on the podium in the 2010 season.
"The track was really rough this weekend"
John Natalie said after the second moto. "I
haven't been training like I should have to be
able to hold on. The bike worked awesome, the
only work I have to do before Muddy Creek is on
myself."
In the Pro-Am Production class, Joel Hetrick
continued his success with wins in both motos.
In the first moto, Joel earned the $100 Idol Speed
holeshot award, and was able to run away from
the rest of the pack. Aaron Meyer earned the second
moto $100 Idol Speed holeshot award. Chase Snapp
was able to leave the weekend with the second
overall, and Travis Moore again took the third
spot.
The series travels next to Muddy Creek Raceway
in Blountville, TN for Round 7 of 2010 ITP/Moose
Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship on June
19-20.
