Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Creamer Comes Back for
a Top-10 in Virginia
Irvine, Calif.–
Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Josh Creamer rode a
strong race to round out the top 10 during the
fourth round of the AMA ATV Motocross Series at
Birch Creek MX in Danville, Va. Teammate Keith
Little finished 13th, while Russell Shumaker
finished 19th.
Coming from Behind
Creamer over came some bad luck in the first
moto to come back and finish in the top-10.
After getting a fifth-place start in the first
moto and starting his charge to the front,
Creamer was hit from behind, causing him to go
over the bars. He got back up and finished a
respectable 13th. In the second moto, he worked
his way up from 13th to finish in sixth, giving
him a 10th overall.
“I had to ride really aggressive because the
track only had one good line,” said Creamer. “I
was taking the bad lines in order to pass
people, but it worked out in the second moto
coming back up to sixth. If I hadn’t gotten
taken out in the first moto, I feel I could have
been on the podium.”
Top Qualifier
On Saturday, Creamer ran the fastest time in
practice and received the top-qualifier award
for the weekend. It was great proof that the
Kawasaki KFX®450R can run at the top.
Little and Shumaker
In the first moto, Little earned an eighth-place
finish, but got stuck in the back of the second
moto and finish 16th. He ended up with a 13th
overall. The youngest team member, Shumaker,
finished 19th overall after a mechanical in the
first moto.
