Creamer Maintains ATV MX Lead Going Into Muddy Creek National
Millville, MN (June 10, 2010) - The Toyota of Kingsport ATV Southern Nationals are headed to Muddy Creek Raceway in Blountville, Tennessee this weekend for Round 7 of the 2010 ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship. Going into this event, Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Josh Creamer continues to lead the field, stretching his lead to 15 points over his teammate and two-time Defending Champion, Dustin Wimmer, who maintains 2nd in the chase. Team Can-Am Motoworks is hoping to continue their success at Muddy Creek, coming on the heels of both teammates Chad Wienen and John Natalie earning podium positions last weekend at Spring Creek.
Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki has been use to success over the years, with Wimmer earning them the Championship two years running and seeming unbeatable. But this season, Wimmer has a competitor and rival in new teammate Creamer, who has won four of the six rounds so far this season. As Wimmer fights for another win, the Can-Am Motoworks teammates are making up much needed points by landing on the podium last weekend. Teammates John Natalie and Chad Wienen both say they are ready to go after Creamer for the win this weekend in Blountville, TN.
