Champion

Mesquite, Nevada - After a very
tough round eight, Can-Am/Motoworks’ Josh
Frederick knew he had his work cut out for him at
the final round of the 2010 WORCS series in Mesquite,
as MCR/Maxxis Tire’s Beau Baron had the Pro
points lead. Frederick also knew that he would need
a little luck in order to win the 2010 WORCS Pro
ATV Championship.
As fate would have it, heartbreak was in store
for Beau Baron as mechanical issues put him back
by two laps, while luck was on Josh Frederick’s
side, as he charged his way to a first place finish,
reclaiming the WORCS Pro ATV Championship.

Mesquite MX Park, in Mesquite, Nevada was the
hosting facility for the final round of the 2010
WORCS series where good weather and good track
conditions were on hand for Sunday’s events.
Tensions were high as the Pro ATV Championship
was on the line and only a few points separated
MCR Maxxis Tire’s Beau Baron and Can-Am/Motoworks’
Josh Frederick, with Baron in the points lead.
If Baron was to win his second consecutive championship,
he would only need to finish within the top five,
but there was still a chance for Frederick to
take the championship, if he were to win and if
Baron finished outside the top five.

Josh Frederick came out third & chased
after #94 Dustin Nelson till the third lap
when he made the pass & took over the
2nd spot with Jeremie Warnia out front with
the lead |
As the Pro class charged off the line, Josh Frederick
was in a solid third place behind teammate Jeremie
Warnia and Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson. Frederick
looked strong and fast as he overtook Nelson in
lap three taking second place. From there, Frederick
began to chase down Warnia who had a significant
lead on the rest of the pack, but Frederick kept
on the gas and in lap six, Frederick closed the
gap and was able to take over the lead in lap
seven.
Once out front, Frederick checked out and took
the Pro ATV win and also reclaimed the 2010 WORCS
Pro ATV Championship after a Baron would suffer
mechanical issues. “I knew I had to win
and I knew I also needed a little luck to get
the championship. I just gave it my all and I
am really stoked to be able to bring the championship
back to the Can-Am/Motoworks team,” stated
Frederick of his third WORCS Pro Championship.

Josh Frederick took over the lead in lap
7 & never let off as he took the win
with nearly 3 minutes to spare over second
place by the checkered flag & his win
boosted him into the points lead over defending
champion, Beau Baron, by a slim margin of
just 2 points, which had Frederick in disbelief
when WORCS Promoter, Sean Reddish, presented
him with the #1 Plate at the completion
of the race |
