Creamer and Wimmer
Battle for the ATV MX Lead at Unadilla Valley
Sports Center
New Berlin, NY (July 15, 2010) - The 2010 ITP
Tires/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross
Championship Presented by Parts Unlimited is
headed to the legendary Unadilla Valley Sports
Center in New Berlin, New York for Round 9 this
weekend. Going into this event, Rockstar Makita
Suzuki's Josh Creamer continues to lead the
field, now by 25 points over his teammate and
two-time Defending Champion, Dustin Wimmer. The
chase for the championship has come down to the
last three rounds, which will prove to be an
exciting finish to a season filled with intense
competition.
Going into the ninth round, the battle rages
on between teammates Wimmer and Creamer for the
championship, and tension continues to rise
between the riders. Creamer has been
consistently on the podium all season long, and
if he is able to continue that momentum this
weekend, he will be inching closer to sealing
the 2010 title. Wimmer is hoping that's not the
case, and will be on top of his game at Unadilla
in order to make up some much-needed points
heading into the last two rounds. Team Can-Am
Motoworks John Natalie and teammate Chad Wienen
have been strong competitors all season and are
hoping to continue their success in New York.
Natalie is coming off an overall win at the last
round, and is hoping to make a repeat this
weekend in front of the Unadilla crowd to remain
in third in points.
Creamer and Wimmer battle for the
championship may be the buzz in the pits, but
you can never count out Baldwin Motorsports/PEPs
Josh Upperman as a top finisher. Upperman
continues to battle his way to the front, and
has moved into 4th in the chase for the
championship after his top five finish last
weekend. At this point in the season, it could
be anyone's race.
The event takes place at the legendary
Unadilla Sports Center in New Berlin, NY. The
track lies in a valley and utilizes a large area
for long straight-aways, sweeping turns, and
large jumps. The layout is fast and challenging,
with many big jumps incorporated into the
layout.
Tickets on Sunday are $15 for fans ($10 for
ages 5-11), and admission includes full pro pit
access, and an autograph session.
Pro riders will be on hand at Herb Philipson's
in New Hartford, New York for a "Meet and Greet"
signing autographs and meeting with spectators
and fans from 5-7 on Friday. Just a few of the
riders in attendance will be current points
leader Josh Creamer, two time defending champion
Dustin Wimmer, and Yamaha's Thomas Brown.
The pro class will feature two 20-minute
races on Sunday, taking place at noon and 3
p.m., with the combined scores of both races
determining the overall winner.
The pro riders will run as part of a full
schedule of amateur racing, including classes
for Youth, Women and veteran riders. Amateurs
will practice on Friday and race on Saturday and
Sunday. Pros will practice on Saturday and race
on Sunday.
