"SpeedWorld" - Round 7
Surprise, AZ - Can-Am Motowork’s Jeremie Warnia took a double win in both the Pro Production and Open Pro classes at Speedworld MX on Saturday night, despite some stiff competition from Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson and Kawasaki’s Josh Creamer.

All day long racers were cooked by the 100+ degree temperatures of the desert, but just before the first Pro Production moto, Mother Nature let loose and a deluge of rain fell creating a soupy mud all over the track. “It was so muddy, I used all my tear offs and had to ditch my goggles by the middle of the moto, said Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson, who was second off the line behind Jeremie Warnia, who edged out Justin Noss to claim the moto one holeshot.

Warnia was flying through the mud in first place, but fell back to second when Dustin Nelson, who had made his way around Noss, went wide in a turn and powered past the French racer, taking the win and leaving Warnia to finish in second place.

Josh Creamer who made a surprise appearance at round seven was in a close fourth off the line behind Nelson. Creamer stayed close to Nelson the entire moto, but with vision being an issue due to all the mud, Creamer stayed put in third all the way to the checkered flag. “The visibility was horrible. I went through all of my tear offs and lost my goggles halfway through the first lap,” said Creamer.

Yamaha backed racer Justin Noss was on the gas despite the muddy conditions. Noss was side by side with Warnia off the line, taking second in the holeshot. “I tried to stay with Warnia, but the conditions were so bad I decided to play it smart and hold back a bit,” said Noss, who would finish in fourth place. Meanwhile, Dustin Terry rode strong and held off national pro Nick DeNoble to round out the top five.

Track conditions improved dramatically for the second moto as most of the standing water and mud had disappeared allowing Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson to hook up and grab the moto two holeshot. Nelson was looking solid in first, with Jeremie Warnia and Josh Creamer hot on his heels. Unfortunately, Nelson went high in a berm, which allowed Warnia to take over the lead. Warnia would hold his lead all the way to the finish line, securing the overall Pro Production win and lead the points chase by six points over Dustin Nelson.

“I knew that I had to hold off Creamer because if I let him get between me and Warnia, that would have a big impact on the points and it would be even tougher for me to try and make up those points in the final two rounds,” said Nelson, whose 1-2 finishes put him in second overall and puts him in second in the Pro Production points with 156 points.

Josh Creamer, who got a face full of mud in the first moto and was feeling the after effects, came off the line in third once again and held his position right behind Nelson and Warnia all the way to the checkers. Creamer’s 3-3 put him in third overall for the day.
