Chino, Calif. – June 21, 2010 – Yoshimura R&D
of America dominated Muddy Creek in Blountville,
Tennessee, on Sunday. Yoshimura’s Josh Creamer
won the AMA ATV Motocross Pro overall, while
Yoshimura-supported racers Dustin Wimmer, Thomas
Brown, and Cody Grant all stormed the top 10. In
the ITP QuadCross series, Justin Jones took the
win in the Pro-Am class, making it a winning
weekend for Yoshimura ATV racers.
At the AMA ATV Motocross series, Creamer took
second in both motos but came out on top when
the points were tallied on Sunday. Creamer has
won three overalls in a row now and plans to
keep on winning. He took the holeshot in the
second moto with his impressive Yoshimura
engine, and his consistently fast riding has put
him on top of the podium five times total.
“It feels really good to win three in a row,”
Creamer said. “I didn’t know if I was going to
be able to pull it off like this since it’s my
first season on the Suzuki, but I was hoping.
Now, hopefully we keep it up for rest of the
season.” Creamer leads the series in points.
Back-to-back champion Dustin Wimmer had some bad
luck in the first moto when another racer’s
engine failed mid-air over a double. Wimmer was
able to remount his Yoshimura-prepped Suzuki and
take seventh place, but he was determined to do
better in the second moto. At the drop of the
gate, Wimmer shot out and fought his way to the
front of the pack. He never looked back, and
easily took the victory. He’s currently second
in overall points.
Thomas Brown and his Yoshimura-equipped Yamaha
YFZ450 were also on a mission on Sunday. Thomas
finished 5-6 in the motos, good enough for sixth
place overall. This is Thomas’ fifth appearance
in the top 10, and he’s also sixth in overall
championship points for the 2010 season.
Newcomer Cody Grant also had a banner day at
Muddy Creek. The rookie finished 11-10 for the
day, putting him in the top 10 at the end of the
race. Grant has steadily improved throughout the
2010 season, and Muddy Creek’s finish was his
second top-10 appearance in a row.
Hot on Cody’s heels, Pat Brown and his Honda
TRX450R finished 10-11 for the day and placed
just outside the top 10. Pat is eighth in
overall championship points and continues to be
consistently fast on the track with the
Yoshimura engine work propelling his Honda
across the finish line.
Round 8 of the series takes place at Pleasure
Valley in Armagh, Pennsylvania, on July 3-4.
At the ITP QuadCross series in Surprise,
Arizona, Justin Jones rode his Yoshimura-powered
Honda TRX450R to the win in the Pro-Am class.
With the Yoshimura engine and exhaust on his
quad, Jones easily powered his way past the
competition to take the win. “I got both
holeshots and both wins in my motos,” Jones
said. “The Yoshimura engine really pulls and got
me two great starts. I’m really happy and
excited for the next race.”
The next round of QuadCross racing takes place
July 11 at Glen Helen Raceway in California.
