Pro-Am Overall Win of the season at Spring
Creek MX

“I’ve been chasing it all year and things just
hadn’t gone my way,” said Rowe. “I just felt solid
all weekend. We did some shock testing and that
was really the key to my success. My bike worked
really well on the demanding track. I was able
to ride my own race and put together two solid
motos. We were using a brand-new Motowoz setup
and it worked flawlessly.”
Rowe dedicated his victory to youth rider Kyler
Lenz, who lost his life during the event. He celebrated
with Kyler’s father, Kevin, on the podium, as
well as Kyler’s best friend Nick Vallone.

“I wanted to make it up there for him and I was
able to get it done,” said Rowe. “With everything
that has happened, he and his wife, Nicole, could
use all of the love the ATV community can provide
them. I was just getting to know Kyler and we
were working with him at the track. It was really
sad what happened.”
Rowe also finished 10th in Pro, scoring 10th
and 11th place moto finishes. It marked his third
consecutive top 10 and moved him to 10th in points.
“That’s what we need,” said Rowe. “My goal was
to be in the top ten and get up and mix it up
with those guys. I felt good all day. We’ll stay
at it, stay working and get some good riding in
before Unadilla.”
Baldwin / PEP’s Tommy Vossman had an off weekend,
finishing 7th and 8th, respectively in Production
A and 450 A. He is currently fourth in both points
championship, and is looking to get back on track
at Unadilla.
“Spring Creek was challenging,” said Vossman.
“I just had an off weekend, but we learned a lot
and we’ll get ready for Unadilla. My season was
going great before this weekend. We’re going to
do everything we can to finish in the top three
in points.”
PR2 / Motowoz’s JoHannah Vossman returned to
action this weekend after a several broken vertebrae

a serious wreck at the Ironman MX

“I broke 10 different processes throughout my
thoracic and lumbar sections of my back,” said
Vossman. “Recovery was hard and I am very lucky
to be walking. With braces, I came back a little
early and I’m still looking for championships.
It’s going to be a lot harder, but we’re doing
the best we can.”

“There was a huge pileup at the start,” said
Vossman. “It was scary for me. I was not expecting
to have my first crash this soon. I got up, I
got back on and I finished the race. We left uninjured
and it was good to be back.”
In Schoolgirl, Vossman scored two second-place
finishes and was scored second overall. She actually
pulled the holeshot in the second moto. The runner-up
finish places her third in points.
“I’m happy with that finish,” said Vossman. “This
still puts us in good position in points. I just
rode my own race, stayed smart and tried to keep
it on all four wheels.”
The Vossman team will be ready for action as
the ATV Motocross Series next heads to Unadilla
MX Park in New Berlin, NY July 15-16.
