Chad Wienen does a look back on Kawasaki's
Josh Creamer over the Dunlop Step-Up |
Kawasaki’s Josh Creamer also suffered a bad
crash during practice when he cased the Dunlop Tire
step-up. Josh flipped his quad and just as he was
getting up, Russell Shumaker crashed in the same
place. Shumaker’s Kawasaki flew off the track
hitting Creamer and pile-driving him back into the
dirt. Besides biting his tongue, Creamer was relatively
uninjured and would be able to race in the main,
but it wouldn’t be the case for Russell Shumaker
as he was also scratched from the race list with
a wrist injury, so before the races headed to the
starting line for the big show, the field had shrunk
to 16 racers.
