San Bernardino, CA – Yamaha / Goldenwest Cycle’s Dustin Nelson swept both the Pro Production and Open Pro classes at round six of the 2010 ITP Quadcross series this past weekend with MCR/Maxxis Tire’s Beau Baron finishing in a close second place in both classes.

Hot weather and dry conditions were on tap for round six that was held at Glen Helen Raceway, but the dust and heat didn’t seem to slow down the Pro Production class at all as they charged off the starting line.

Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson grabbed the moto one holeshot and rode a solid race from start to finish, holding off Beau Baron for several laps before pulling away and putting a little distance between himself and Baron.

Nelson recorded the fastest lap time of the day in the second lap of moto one with a time of 02:09.459, which helped propel him to the moto one win. In moto two, Nelson was in second off the start behind Beau Baron.

Nelson began to pressure Baron immediately and would soon get his way in lap five, when he pressured Baron into making a mistake and was able to take over the lead. From there, it was smooth sailing for Nelson as he pulled away and took the moto two win, and the overall. “Moto one went really well. I got the holeshot and led from start to finish, but in moto two, Beau got out ahead of me and I had to work to get by him,” stated Nelson, who still holds a comfortable points lead.

MCR/Maxxis Tire’s Beau Baron was looking fast and consistent in the Pro Production class as he took an easy second off the start behind Dustin Nelson in the first moto. Baron kept pace with Nelson for the entire moto, but he was not able to get close enough to make a move for the lead and would take a second place finish in moto one, making him more determined than ever in moto two.

As the gate dropped for moto two, Baron grabbed the holeshot, but he was not alone as Dustin Nelson was in close pursuit. Baron held his lead for five laps before a slight bobble would send him back to second. Baron would end his day with a pair of second place finishes, giving him the second spot on the Pro Production podium. “Dustin is really fast off the start, so I was pretty excited about getting the holeshot, but I’m hoping I’ll be able to do that again at the next round,” said Baron.

Yamaha/Goldenwest Cycle’s Justin Noss also looked good as he powered his way up from fifth to a third place finish in moto one. Noss got off to a little bit better start in moto two, taking fourth off the line, and he would again reach the number three spot before taking the checkered flag. Noss’ consistency this year has him currently ranked third in points in the Pro Production class.
