Mt. Morris, PA (5/25/2008) -
Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Josh Creamer
was the fastest rider in a field of 20 ATV
Pros qualifying for today's ATV Stampede
at High Point Raceway. The event marks Round
6 of the ITP Tires/Moose Racing ATV National
Motocross Series Presented by Parts Unlimited.
While the top 10 riders were within two
seconds of each other, it was Creamer who
set the pace, winning the Ti-Lube Fast Qualifier
Award. Second quick was Series points leader
Dustin Wimmer (No. 191 Team MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro
Taper) with yesterday’s fastest rider,
Jeremy Lawson (No. 16 Team Epic Can-Am)
rounding out the top three.
The qualifying session was a considerable
success for the Kawasaki team with all three
riders making laps in the top 10 with Keith
Little (No. 12 Monster Energy Kawasaki)
fifth fastest and Russell Shumaker (No.
68 Monster Energy Kawasaki) ninth quick.
"I’m feeling pretty good today,"
said Creamer. "The track is really
fast, which is going to make it interesting
out there during the race, but it should
an exciting event. I’m going to concentrate
on getting a good start and staying up front.
My quad is working really well. We made
a lot of suspension changes yesterday, then
fine tuned it today and it’s really
hooking up.”
Pro motos are scheduled for noon and 3
p.m. today. The ATV Stampede will also feature
a full card of Amateur, Youth and Women's
racing.
