Monster Energy Kawasaki’s
Creamer Takes Season-Best WPSA Fourth
Boswell, PA (9/19/2007) - Monster
Energy Kawasaki ATV rider Josh Creamer ended the
WPSA season with an impressive fourth-place finish
at Field of Dreams Motocross Park.
Creamer narrowly missed the holeshot and jumped
behind the leader on his Kawasaki KFX®450R.
He stayed close for most of the 14-lap race, holding
on as long as he could before eventually coming
across the finish with a season-best fourth place.
“I got an awesome start,” said Creamer.
“I really liked the track. It was probably
my favorite all year long. It had a lot of jumps
but was also very technical and allowed for some
good racing.”
He added, “This year has been great in
my eyes. We came in with a new team and a new
quad and put out a good showing. Next year will
only be better.”
Teammate Jason Luburgh started at the back of
the pack and made several passes to move from
14th to eighth by the halfway mark. Baldwin Motorsports
Kawasaki’s Josh Upperman and Luburgh got
tangled up but Luburgh was able to keep his position.
Upperman went down and eventually fought back
to finish 12th.

“The season went how we had hoped,”
said Team Manager Jimmy White. “With very
little testing before the season started, it caused
the team to work extra hard. By mid-season, Creamer
was consistently in the top-five and Jason made
improvements as well. Overall, I was very happy
and this was a great way to end the season.”
