to take over the top two spots followed
by Upperman

the holeshot and began to pull away. Creamer hung
on to his lead for a several laps before dropping

“I couldn’t be happier! This has
been a long time coming and to finally make it
is almost an overwhelming feeling. I have to thank
Rockstar Makita Suzuki and all of my sponsors,
family and friends who have supported me this
season, and I also have to thank all of my fans
for cheering me on all year. It really means a
lot to me!” said Creamer, who still seemed
a little shell shocked that he had taken the championship.
