ITP's other two Pros, Jeffrey Rastrelli and Taylor, earned eighth and 12th place, respectively.

"My machine was set up really well for the conditions of moto two. My ITP Quadcross tires really hooked up off the start and I was able to come out with the holeshot," said Creamer. "From there on, I had to ride really smart to keep the position with the pressure I had behind me, but I'm really happy to be back up on the podium," said Creamer.
