#1 Josh Frederick celebrates his 2nd Win
of the season, which moves him within 5
points of Jeremie Warnia for the points
lead |
Once out front, Frederick began to pull away and
took the win by over a minute ahead of the competition.
Frederick’s win also allowed him to close
in on the points lead and he is now only five points
down.
“I had a pretty good race. I got the holeshot
and fell back for a short time, but then I took
back the lead and rode my own race all the way
to the finish line. It was a pretty uneventful
race for me. Everything just kind of came together
and I was able to take the win and I am very happy
about that,” stated Frederick.
MCR/Maxxis Tire’s Beau Baron charged off
the line in a close second behind Frederick and
was able to make a pass early in the first lap
for the lead. Baron led for five laps and when
he stopped in the pits for fuel, it allowed Josh
Frederick and Jeremie Warnia to get by. Baron
was able to remount a charge and get past Warnia,
but catching Frederick would prove to be a little
more challenging.

Mike Farmer showered Baron after the podium
celebration with an ice chest of cold water |
“I was making up time and then I got behind
a lapper and when I was trying to get around him,
my quad stalled and it wouldn’t re-fire. It
took about eight tries before I could get it started
again. By then Frederick had a pretty good lead
and I didn’t have enough time to catch back
up to him,” stated Baron, who was obviously
disappointed. Baron kept a steady pace and rode
his own race for the remaining laps taking second
at the checkered flag.
Jeremie Warnia was looking good off the start
and he charged off the line in third. Warnia was
able to make his way into the number two spot
early in the first lap after passing teammate
Josh Frederick in the motocross section. Warnia
laid down the fastest lap time of the race in
lap three with a time of 08:11.711.

#62 Jeremie Warnia held the lead briefly
in lap 6 before dropping back to third,
which is where he stayed to the checkered
flag to maintain the pro points lead |
Despite his incredible speed, Warnia stayed in
third until the mid-way point. Warnia was able
to take over second briefly when Beau Baron stopped
in the pits, but fell back again and settled into
third where he stayed until reaching the finish
line.
