Anza, CA - Can-Am’s Josh Frederick went toe to toe with MCR/Maxxis’ Beau Baron and was able to edge out the current champion for the win at round six of the 2010 WORCS series, leaving Baron to settle for second, while Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson would join them on the Pro ATV podium.

Cahuilla Creek MX Park was the hosting facility for the event where dry, dusty conditions prevailed. Despite the heat and the dust, Can-Am Motoworks’ Josh Frederick was on his game as he charged off the line in Sunday’s Pro main event. Frederick came off the line in fourth and was close behind Beau Baron Dustin Nelson, and Jeremie Warnia.

Warnia would end up crashing and Nelson would drop back to third, giving Frederick the opportunity to challenge Baron for the lead. The pair battled hard for most of the race with Baron and Frederick changing positions several times. The track offered few opportunities to pass, but Frederick was finally able to get around Baron for good in the last lap when he cut to the inside of a turn while Baron went wide.

Once in the lead, Frederick began to pull away and took his third win of the season to give him a seven point lead over Baron. “I really needed this win. Beau and I are really close this year and this win gives me a little more of a comfort zone, but anything can still happen so I will still be out there giving it my all,” said Frederick, sounding a little relieved.

Beau Baron, who has been Frederick’s biggest competition this year was in third off the line and worked his way into the number two spot before the end of the first lap. “I was back in fourth and I was watching Dustin Nelson and Jeremie Warnia battling it out up front and then Warnia crashed and that put me up to second,” said Baron, who began closing in on leader, Nelson.

After just a few laps, Baron was able to make his move when Nelson went high in a berm and got hung up, allowing Baron to take over the lead. Josh Frederick also capitalized on Nelson’s mistake and was in a close second behind Baron and after a lengthy battle, Baron would finish in second place.

“Josh and I were really going at it, we were drag racing down the straights and going back and forth in the turns, it was pretty intense,” said Baron of his experience. Baron is only seven points behind Frederick in the championship race and he is determined to take the win in Washington in July.
