Energy Kawasaki's Josh Creamer and Chad Wienen took
home the top two spots on the podium during round
six of the AMA Pro ATV MX championship at Steel
City Raceway in Delmont, PA.; a first since Kawasaki
made its return to ATV motocross racing a few seasons
ago. The Steel City ATV Stampede also marked round
five of the amateur portion of the ITP Tires/Moose
Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship presented
by Parts Unlimited.
Creamer took decisive victories in the first
and second motos, a welcome comeback to the front
after a few tough races.
"It's been a rough two weeks," Creamer
said. "I've spent a lot of time working on
this and I couldn't be more happy."

It was big
news that Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer was injured
several weeks ago, but many didn't know
that on the exact same day, Honda's Joe
Byrd also wrecked at his practice track.
Joe suffered a few cracked ribs along
with a seriously sprained ankle, but he
still raced at Sunset Ridge to salvage
some points as he spent of the weekend
in his rig, but this weekend, Joe was
out once again and feeling much better
as he signed autographs for fans. Also,
he presented Andy Green with a signed
jersey, which made his day. Andy lives
and breaths ATV racing ,and he is in the
military and will be deployed to Afghanistan
in just a few months, so he spent the
past month on leave traveling to the races.
Joe Byrd also has been testing the Sonic
Sway-Bar, and he used it during the race
this weekend along with Nick Denoble
|
Steel City's event featured a dry first moto
and a muddy second race as afternoon thunderstorms
came down. "It was pretty unpredictable,"
Wienen said. "I'm not a mud rider but the
bike was working awesome."
