Wimmer followed Upperman off the start, while Motoworks Can-Am rider Chad Wienen, and Creamer battled for third.

"The track got pretty rough the second moto, but my Fox Shox got me through it. I'm really happy with the overall." Wimmer's second and fourth place finishes secured him the second overall, and although he has  Photo By: Mike Salerno Josh Creamer (9) lost some additional points to his teammate Creamer, he continues to be in the chase for the championship. "I had a tough weekend," Wimmer said following his second moto. "The first moto I got a good start and stuck in behind Upperman for second place. But in the second moto, I came out of the first corner in fifth and tried to pass towards the front. The track was really rough, and there wasn't much passing to be made. Now, I'm just going to move on and look to Red Bud for a win." In the Pro-Am Production class, Joel Hetrick found his way back up front for the two moto sweep and the overall win. Hetrick grabbed the first moto IdolSpeed.com $100 Holeshot award and the early lead over points leader Chase Snapp. In the second moto it was Jeffrey Rastrelli who earned the $100 IdolSpeed.com Holeshot award, and lead the majority of the moto, battling side by side with Hetrick. In just the last few laps, Hetrick snuck by Rastrelli when he made a mistake, and was able to take the 1-1 for the overall win. Snapp continues to lead the points heading into Round 10 of the AMA Pro ATV MX, but now by only 15 points. The series travels next to Red Bud MX in Buchanan, Michigan for the Round 10 of the AMA Pro ATV MX Championship on July 31- August 1. For more information, log on to www.atvmotocross.com.

For Immediate Release Contact: Christa Watson Creamer and Wimmer Battle for the ATV MX Lead at Pleasure Valley Raceway Armagh, PA (July 1, 2010) - The American Suzuki Summer Nationals presented by Mushin Racing are  Photo By: Michael Roth Dustin Wimmer (#1) passes his teammate Josh Creamer (#9) for the lead. With only four rounds remaining in the chase for the championship, the battle between teammates Wimmer and Creamer promises to be one for the record books. Creamer has had a fantastic season this year, winning five of the seven rounds so far, but he is aware his teammate is a strong competitor going into Pleasure Valley. The struggles Wimmer has faced this season have been different than any he has faced in the past, but during the last round, Wimmer seemed to have found his old form. Team Can-Am Motoworks John Natalie has been consistently top five all season, but last weekend had a horrific crash when his motor lost power and Wimmer landed on top of him. Although he fought the pain to finish forth in the second moto, he is still complaining of soreness. The Can-Am's have made strides all season and continue threaten Team Suzuki each weekend. The event takes place at the legendary Pleasure Valley Raceway in Armagh, PA. This will be the third time the AMA ATV Motocross Championship visits this exciting facility. Pleasure Valley Raceway is a completely different race track going into the 2010 season. The track layout is fast and challenging, with many straight-aways and table tops. There is also a new uphill double section with 8 doubles, providing a new technical element. The track is made up of loamy dirt that has been mixed with sawdust, which will create rough terrain throughout the weekend. Tickets on Sunday are $15 for fans ($10 for ages 5-11), and admission includes full pro pit access, and an autograph session. The pro class will feature two 20-minute races on Sunday, taking place at noon and 3 p.m., with the combined scores of both races determining the overall winner. The pro riders will run as part of a full schedule of amateur racing, including classes for Youth, Women and veteran riders. Amateurs will practice on Friday and race on Saturday and Sunday. Pros will practice on Saturday and race on Sunday. The Pleasure Valley staff will also be putting on a "moto bingo" Friday evening with all the proceeds benefiting the Mobile Medical Unit. Bingo Cards will be $5.00, and prizes will awarded to all winners. To get to the track, take Route 22 to the Johnstown Route 403 Exit, Turn Right and Pleasure Valley Raceway is down on the right a quarter mile.
