Top Qualifier Award during practice

Irvine, CA (5/1/2008)
- Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Josh Creamer rode
a strong race to round out the top 10 during the
fourth round of the AMA ATV Motocross Series at
Birch Creek MX in Danville, Va. Teammate Keith Little
finished 13th, while Russell Shumaker finished 19th.
Coming from Behind
Creamer over came some bad luck in the first moto
to come back and finish in the top-10. After getting
a fifth-place start in the first moto and starting
his charge to the front, Creamer was hit from
behind, causing him to go over the bars. He got
back up and finished a respectable 13th. In the
second moto, he worked his way up from 13th to
finish in sixth, giving him a 10th overall.
“I had to ride really aggressive because
the track only had one good line,” said
Creamer. “I was taking the bad lines in
order to pass people, but it worked out in the
second moto coming back up to sixth. If I hadn’t
gotten taken out in the first moto, I feel I could
have been on the podium.”
Top Qualifier
On Saturday, Creamer ran the fastest time in practice
and received the top-qualifier award for the weekend.
It was great proof that the Kawasaki KFX®450R
can run at the top.
