| For
#9 Josh Creamer, his race at Jolly Rogers
will be his last most likely for the rest
of the year as he will have knee surgery,
so he will have plenty of time to heal
up over the winter and be back to 100%
for the start of the 2009 AMA Pro ATV
Motocross Season Opener |
In the Pro-Am classes, it was Richard Pelchat,
who grabbed both holeshots, but Josh Creamer made
quick work of him, taking over the lead both times
to claim the win in the Pro-am class as well.
“It feels really good to come out here and
end my season on a high note,” said Josh.
“After I’m healed from my surgery,
I’ll be getting back to training full time
and hopefully come back even stronger next season.”
As Pelchat and Creamer battled it out up front
with Creamer claiming the win once again in
both Motos followed by Pelchat. It was Jason
Connell finishing 3rd both motos, but with Pelchat
removed from the socring, it was credited with
a 2-2 finish and second overall. Michael Pilotte
ran into problems in the first Pro-am moto and
finished dead last, but the #748 Honda made
a good comeback and took 4th in moto two, claiming
9th overall, which allowed him to hang on to
second in the points race.
