AMA ATV Motocross Nationals Round #2 - Muddy Creek Blountville, TN April 13, 2013

#9 Josh Creamer claimed a 6th place finish in Moto One

Josh Creamer was able to salvage a sixth place finish after he had a bad start off the gate and found himself in the back of the field. "I didn't get the start I was looking for at all but I had to ride really smart to work my way through the field and make passes as there were limited places to pass out on the track," said Creamer.

Rookies Casey Martin and Ronnie Higgerson made a name for themselves after Martin came charging out of the first turn in second place and Higgerson rode a smooth moto to finish in the tenth place position.

The sun came out for Moto 2 and it was once again Pennsylvania native Joel Hetrick who snagged the SSi Decals Holeshot Award. With a clear field ahead, Hetrick put his head down and went to work. With only a little pressure early on the Hetrick Racing rider was able to maintain a steady pace and make a comfortable gap between him and the rest of the field, securing the Moto 2 win and his first overall win for the 2013 season.

Josh Creamer had a better start in moto two coming out in the top three. Creamer was able to tighten the gap on the second place position but settled into third place and finished out the race in fourth.

2011 Champion John Natalie and Thomas Brown came out of the first turn in the fourth and fifth place positions. After an intense battle in the first few laps, Brown was able to move into the fourth place position but it wasn't until Natalie made a mistake that Brown was able to gain a comfortable lead on the veteran.

"I was able to make it through the first turn with a decent start and held my ground to finish in the fourth place position. I'm pumped to be up on the box again and looking to make my way higher up on the podium next round," said Brown.
