AMA ATV Motocross Championship

CREAMER AND SUZUKI R450 DOMINATE MILLVILLE ATV

Rockstar Makita Suzuki ATV's team dominated another weekend of racing at the sixth round of the AMA ATV Motocross Championship in Millville, Minnesota as Josh Creamer went 1-1 en-route to his fourth win of the season and team-mate and defending Champion Dustin Wimmer finished fourth overall with 3-4 moto scores.

"This weekend was awesome! It couldn't have gone any better. We were all on an even playing field at this track and I finally got a good holeshot and got out front both motos and rode two smart races," said Creamer.

Heavy rain cancelled Friday practice, but it didn't slow the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team during qualifying with Wimmer and Creamer logging the two fastest lap times: Wimmer got the fastest qualifier award and he and Creamer got to choose their gate positions first. When the gate dropped for moto one, it was Creamer making the most of his gate pick and grabbing the holeshot aboard his Suzuki QuadRacer R450 and never looking back. As Creamer checked-out at the front, Wimmer was working his way forward from a strong top-five start. After a race-long battle, Wimmer was able to fight his way on to the podium, finishing in third.

Moto two saw Creamer again take the holeshot, and after a brief challenge from the competition, Creamer prevailed, opening up another big lead on his way to a perfect overall finish. His QuadRacer R450 was set up perfectly for the challenging track and his results prove it.

He said: "The track was really rough but we nailed our set-up and our Fox Shoxs were working great this weekend. The power of the QuadRacer R450 was great and there was plenty of traction because they got a lot of rain this week before the race. The track 'kinda fell apart at the end, but the machine handled it really well."

Wimmer again started in the top five, where he stayed the entire race, finishing a strong and consistent fourth. His 3-4 finishes were good enough for fourth overall. He said: "We didn't get the results we were looking for this weekend, but we'll get back to work this week and come back ready for Muddy Creek."

Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki and the QuadRacer R450 lead the championship standings with Creamer in first, 15 points ahead of two-time Champion Wimmer in second.

"It's a great feeling leading, but I've got to keep my head on straight because we still have a lot of racing left," added Creamer. "It's motocross and anything can happen."

Muddy Creek Raceway in Blountville, TN, is the next stop of the AMA ATV Motocross Championship, which takes place June 19-20th.
