Creamer WIns
First NEATV-mX Pro-Class Overall Aboard Can-AM ds 450
Valcourt, Québec, June 13, 2011 – Motoworks / Can-Am racer Josh Creamer earned his first ATV
Pro-class overall aboard the Can-Am DS 450 at round four of the New England ATV
Motocross Series held this past weekend at Capeway Rovers Motocross Park in
Carver, Mass. Creamer, who recorded a 2-1 moto finish on the weekend, was
joined on the podium by BCS Performance / Can-Am rider Cody Miller.
"Josh put
in a pair of excellent rides this weekend and earned his first Pro-class
overall for team Motoworks / Can-Am," said Jimmie O'Dell, Race Manager,
Can-Am. "This was a well-deserved victory for Josh and Can-Am, as we
remain in the chase for another professional ATV motocross title. Both Josh and
Cody had impressive moto performances aboard
their Can-Am DS 450 machines, once again showcasing the machine’s elite
capabilities.”
Despite heavy rain, muddy conditions and
nagging injuries, Creamer was in championship form at round four of the
NEATV-MX Series. The first Pro-class moto began with Miller edging Creamer for
the holeshot. The two Can-Am-mounted racers put in a great battle throughout
the moto, but slick, muddy conditions created minimal passing opportunities and
the two riders finished the race how they started it. The moto victory was the
first in 2011 for Miller, who is the reigning NEATV-MX Pro champion.
In the second Pro-class moto, Creamer took
charge from the start as he grabbed the holeshot aboard his Motoworks / Can-Am
DS 450. Creamer, the 2010 AMA ATV MX Champion, pulled away and took an easy
victory in moto two. His 2-1 moto scores were good for the overall and more
than made up for not reaching the pro podium the previous round. Creamer is now
just 17 points out of first place heading into round five.
“We had a good weekend and I am really glad
to finally take a win,” explained Creamer. “I hope the rest of the season goes
as well as this round, so I can take over the points lead and give Can-Am a
championship.”
Miller paired his first-moto win with a
fourth-place ride in the second pro moto. He got pushed out on the start and
was in last place off the line. However, the young Texan put his head down and
passed his way into fourth place before crossing the finish line. His 1-4 moto
finishes were good for third place overall and a fourth-consecutive trip to the
Pro-class podium. Miller sits comfortably in third place, 19 points behind
Creamer with four rounds completed.
“I got a great start in the first pro moto.
Creamer was right behind me, but I held him off and was able to take the win,”
said Cody Miller. “It felt good to win that moto and I am happy to again be on
the podium.”
