New
Berlin, NY – RockStar
Makita Suzuki’s Josh Creamer and Dustin Wimmer
ruled the podium at Unadilla, with Creamer taking
the win and Wimmer the runner up position. Can-Am/Motoworks’
John Natalie would make a hard charge in moto two
and claim the final spot on the Pro Podium.
Round number nine of the 2010 AMA ATV Motocross
Championships was held at Unadilla in New Berlin,
NY, where racers were greeted by a fast and challenging
track that would separate the top riders from
the rest of the pack, but would deliver a potentially
season ending blow to one racer in the second
moto. Despite the carnage, the Rockstar Makita
Suzuki team would again rise to the occasion as
the dominant force, bringing Josh Creamer one
step closer to his first national pro championship.

Round
9 of the AMA ATV Motocross Series headed
north to the famous "Unadilla"
Motocross track, which attracted around
600 race entries & a large crowd of
spectators with many lining up for Pro
autographs in between Motos
|
The number 9 of Josh Creamer made a hard charge
from fourth off the start in moto one, quickly
making the pass on Joe Byrd when Byrd bobbled
in the second lap. Creamer then held his position
in third for a few laps before applying the pressure
to Wimmer. Despite a solid effort, Creamer would
stay in third as he crossed the finish line.

Suzuki's
Josh Creamer was 4th off the line &
hot on the heals of #7 Joe Byrd till the
2nd lap, when Byrd made a mistake, which
allowed both Creamer & Chad Wienen
to make the pass. Creamer reeled in Dustin
Wimmer, but wasn't able to make a move
on Wimmer before the checkered for a 3rd
place finish in Moto One

In
Moto2, Josh Creamer came out 2nd behind
John Natalie & the pair battled the
entire Moto |
In moto two, Creamer would take second off the
line and wait patiently for leader John Natalie
to tire before making his move to the number one
spot. Natalie did not want to give up without
a fight, but Creamer was able to hold him off
for the rest of the moto to take the moto win
and the overall.
“I’m out here to win, that’s
my goal. I got a little more focused for moto
two and I was able to come out here and take the
win. There are two more rounds left and I am hoping
to come out for both of them and take the win,”
stated Creamer.
