Monster Energy Kawasaki's Creamer Rides to His
Second Podium at High Point
Irvine, Calif. (May 27,
2008) – Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Josh
Creamer added another podium to his season after
two great motos during round six of the AMA ATV
Motocross Series at High Point Raceway in Mount
Morris, Pa. Along with his podium finish,
Creamer earned the top qualifier award on
Saturday. Teammates Keith Little and Russell
Shumaker finished 12th and 15th respectively.
Make It a Habit
After starting the season on the podium, Creamer
made his way back to the box as he earned a 4-3
finish on the day.
“It was a pretty solid race,” said Creamer.
“My starts were finally coming together and I
was able to be at the front, rather than work my
way through the pack. My quad was really good in
both motos. I feel like we can win the next one
if everything comes together.”
Top Qualifier…Again
During Saturday’s timed practice session,
Creamer earned his second top-qualifier award,
besting the other 19 pro riders. All of the
Kawasaki riders had a good session as Little and
Shumaker had times within the top-10.
Riding Through the Pain
In the first moto, Shumaker was with the front
pack going into the first turn, but went down
and his ankle was run over. After being checked
out and barely able to walk, it was determined
it was sprained. He wrapped it up as tight as he
could and rode to a ninth-place finish in the
second moto for 15th overall.
“In the second moto, I did my best to find
the smoothest lines and I think that helped me
get into a groove,” said Shumaker. “I couldn’t
even walk to my trailer after the first moto so
I was pretty happy with getting ninth. I was
using crutches Monday, but I am feeling a lot
better. I have enough time between now and the
next race to heal up.”
Little
After an off weekend at the last round, Little
stepped it up and rode to an eighth-place finish
in the first moto. He ended the weekend with a
12th place overall.
