Can-Am ATV racers earned two overall class victories and nine podium
finishes at round two of the 2013 Mtn. Dew ATV
Motocross National Championship series, sanctioned by the AMA, April 13-14 at Muddy Creek in Blountville, TN.
BCS Performance/Can-Am Pro Josh Creamer finished fourth in the Pro class. At
the New England ATV Motocross (NEATV-MX) series opener in Wallkill, NY,
Can-Am DS 450 racer Travis Moore won both the Pro and Pro-Am classes.
"Overall, it was a good weekend for Can-Am ATV racers at Muddy Creek in Tennessee," said Can-Am
race manager Jimmie O'Dell. "Although
Josh Creamer just missed the Pro class podium, we had three riders in the top 10 in both the Pro and Pro-Am
classes. We also had three amateur racers win their respective classes on the
DS 450. I am proud of the way Travis Moore raced in his
Can-Am DS 450 debut in the NEATV series. It's never easy to win two Pro-level
classes and he did just that."
Mtn. Dew ATV MX
Creamer (BCS Performance/Can-Am) finished sixth in the first Pro class
moto due to a rough start that forced him to play catch-up the entire moto.
However, the former ATV MX Pro Champion stayed patient and found his way around
seven riders on his way to earning sixth. Moto two started much better for the
DS 450 Pro, as he tucked into the third-place position early on. Creamer was
unable to find a way around the two other racers and had to settle for third.
His 6-3 moto scores were good for fourth overall in Tennessee and put him in fourth in the class
points standings, just 11 points behind the class leader.
"I had a rocky start in moto one," said Creamer. "It took me a bit to
calm down and make passes. My BCS Performance-powered Can-Am DS 450 worked
amazingly well. My tires and motor were flawless. The only thing that needed
work was me. My team and sponsors are working well and I want that win."
Two other Can-Am DS 450 Pros made the top 10 at Muddy Creek. Jeffrey
Rastrelli (JB Racing/Cheerwine/Can-Am) finished in the eighth spot with his 8-9
moto finishes. Can-Am racer Ronnie Higgerson, who was second in the Pro-Am
class, took tenth in the Pro ranks.
In Amateur class action, Can-Am racers won three class overalls and
earned 8 total podiums. Former GNC ATV Pro champion Travis Spader won the 30+
and 40+ classes and took second in Junior 25+. BCS Performance/Can-Am pilot
Nicholas Gennusa won the Open A class and was joined on the podium by fellow
Can-Am racer Brad Mickley, who was third. Andy Magyan finished second in the
4-Stroke A class and third in the College 16-24 class.
NEATV-MX
The NEATV-MX series opened at Walden Playboy MX track. Can-Am DS 450
racers had a very successful weekend in New
York, tallying 15 podiums and five class victories,
including victories in both the Pro and Pro-Am classes. Travis Moore (BCS
Performance/Wide Open Racing), making his Can-Am debut, shined brightest as he
won both the Pro and Pro-Am classes with 2-1 moto scores. Mathieu Deroy of Quebec also competed in
both the classes. He won the first moto in both classes but finished second
behind Moore in
each class. Half of the top 10 finishers in the Pro-Am class competed with
Can-Am DS 450 ATVs.
"This is our first year on the Can-Am DS 450 ATV as well as being a new
team together," said Moore.
"We had some issues in the first moto of each class, but the Can-Am was easy to
dial in and we got right back after it in the second motos and brought home the
1-1 in
each class for the wins. I couldn't be happier with how the opening weekend
turned out for us."
Jake Chamberland (College Boy, 4-Stroke A) and Tyler Turner (Open A)
also posted class victories aboard the Can-Am DS 450 at round one.
