Nelson was challenged by Josh Frederick
till the checkered flag |
Defending WORCS Champion, Josh Frederick, completed
the podium, having dropped Creamer to fourth early
in the race. “I didn’t get a very good
start,” said Frederick. “But I moved
up to fourth and then third pretty quick. I charged
hard but couldn’t make it happen to move up
another spot. I got right up behind Nelson but ran
out of time. I feel pretty good about getting third
to start the season. I’ll make some changes
to the way I race with this shorter format.

Bomb Squad Racing's Creamer was happy with fourth
place in his first WORCS race. “I had a
lot of fun,” said Creamer. “I got
the holeshot and everything was working. I put
a little too much pressure on myself and got pumped
up. I could barely push the throttle and let to
let all these fast guys go by. I just kept breathing
to get the arm pump out. I charged after the pit,
but I’d lost too much time and could close
up on those guys. We’ve only had a week
on the bike so overall things went pretty well.”

The
battle for 5th place came down to the wire
between Dillon Zimmerman & Josh Row
with the pair going at it too the checkered
flag with Zimmerman holding off Row in a
dramatic race to the finish line, which
had the crowd cheering |
Maxxis'
Beau Baron overcame a throttle issue, which
sent him back to last place after lap one,
but he rebounded to a 7th place finish even
after colliding with a hay bale just before
the finish, which sent him tumbling |
Fifth place fell to Zimmerman with Row sixth,
Baron received the Rocky Mountain “Hard-Charger”
award for coming from last place early in the
race to seventh at the flag. David Haagsma finished
eighth with Jarrod McClure ninth and Johnny Shafe
rounding out the top ten.

Wes Miller & RGear's Steve Abrego (above

big project together will be filming the
entire 2011 WORCS Racing Season & air
the racing action on TV, and from the large
camera crew at the opening round, I expect
some of the best ATV television coverage
ever
