CAN-AM DS 450 PRO RACERS EARN WORCS, NEATV MOTOCROSS SERIES PODIUMS
Valcourt,
Québec, August 8, 2012 – BCS Performance /
Can-Am® DS 450™ pro Josh Creamer won both the Pro and Pro-Am classes at round
seven of the New England ATV Motocross series at Englishtown in New Jersey. In
the World Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS), Motoworks / Can-Am teammates
Dillon Zimmerman and Josh Frederick finished second and third on the Pro class
podium at round seven held in Anza, Calif.
“Josh Creamer
continued his impressive winning streak in the NEATV-MX series, notching both
the Pro and Pro-Am class victories. He’s very determined to earn two class
championships on his Can-Am DS 450 in 2012, and we hope he can carry over some
of this fortitude to the AMA ATV MX finals at Loretta Lynn’s this coming
weekend,” said Jimmie O’Dell, Race Manager, Can-Am. “I’m extremely
thrilled for Motoworks / Can-Am Pro Dillon Zimmerman after he put in the best
race of his young career this past weekend in WORCS. He finished a very close second
place and clearly has established himself as a podium contender each and every
weekend.”
NEATV-MX
Creamer remains undefeated in both Pro and
Pro-Am classes in the NEATV-MX series this year. At Englishtown MX in New
Jersey, Creamer took holeshot and walked away with the moto one victory in the
Pro class. However, in moto two, he inadvertently stalled his Can-Am at the
start of the race and had to battle from the back of the pack. By lap four,
Creamer had taken over the lead and eventually went on to notch another 1-1
moto finish in the Pro class. The Pro-Am class motos were much easier for
Creamer as he pulled both holeshots and won both motos convincingly. Creamer
was joined on both podiums by fellow Can-Am DS 450 racer Brad Burbine, who
finished third in both the Pro and Pro-Am classes.
The former AMA ATV Pro MX Champion will compete in the AMA
ATV Motocross Championship series finale held August 11, at Loretta Lynn’s
Motocross in Hurricane Mills, Tenn. He has competed in the prior two rounds and
finished second and sixth.
“It has been a really good season for me and I have a
good lead in points in both the Pro and Pro-am classes, so I am pretty happy and
plan to give Can-Am and BCS a couple of championships,” said Creamer. “I plan
to race at Loretta Lynn’s for the final round of nationals. I have been
training and I hope to finish on the podium.”
WORCS
Zimmerman and his Motoworks / Can-Am teammate
Josh Frederick overcame the blanketing dust to earn a Pro class podium finish at
round seven of WORCS held at Cahuilla Creek MX. Zimmerman pulled the Pro class
holeshot and held the lead for the first four laps before dropping off the pace
into second. He ended the day in the second spot and earned his top finish of
2012.
“It felt good to get that holeshot. That really
helped me a lot and helped me get a good finish today. It was really dusty and
rough, so I knew I needed to get a good start,” said Zimmerman. “It felt really
good to get second. I have to thank Can-Am, Motoworks, my family and friends
for all of their support.”
Frederick, who is currently second in the Pro
class points race, had a tough time of things at round seven. He was in the mix
for the lead at the start of the race, however, Frederick crashed in the thick
dust entering the Pro section of the track and lost several spots. The former
WORCS champion mounted an impressive rally, but could only climb to third place
by the time the race ended. He still has an outside shot at the Pro class
title, but trails by 18 points headed into the season finale Sept. 14-16 in
Taft. Calif.
In the Pro-Am class, Collins Webster grabbed the
holeshot and won his first race of the season at Cahuilla Creek MX. He’s now
just nine points off the lead with one round remaining on the schedule.
