Creamer Steels it
By TMX Archives on 3rd Jun 10
Josh Creamer dominated the ATV Stampede at Steel City, taking a 1-1 moto sweep during round five of the AMA Pro ATV MX Championship at Steel City in Delmont, Pennsylvania last weekend.
Creamer had his work cut out for him throughout the weekend, battling to the front in both motos to take the win aboard his Rockstar Makita Suzuki. Creamer's success moves him back into the points lead ahead of teammate Dustin Wimmer in the chase for the 2010 ITP/ Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship.
Josh Upperman earned yet another $250 Motorcycle USA Holeshot award aboard his Baldwin Motorsports PEP Honda.
Upperman, Thomas Brown and John Natalie immediately hooked up in a three-way battle for the lead, but Upperman suffered engine problems and was towed off the track on Lap three. Natalie now held the lead, but the Suzuki team mates of Creamer and Wimmer began to battle through the pack. Creamer made the pass on Wimmer and then both riders began to pass toward the front. Shortly after halfway, Creamer had taken the lead, followed by Brown, Natalie, and Wimmer, and on the final run in to the finish line Wimmer took third spot from Natalie.
Rookie Cody Gibson took the second moto holeshot, while Wimmer's right gate did not drop and left him last out off the start. In just a few laps, Creamer had taken the lead while his teammate continued to battle towards the front. Pass after pass, Wimmer made his way to second behind Creamer and Thomas Brown took third spot at the flag.
The series travels next to Spring Creek Raceway in Millville, Minnesota on June 12-13.
