2010 ATV Motocross Muddy Creek Results
| | | Josh Creamer took home his third overall win in a row aboard his Rockstar Makita Suzuki during round seven of the AMA Pro ATV Motocross Championship at Muddy Creek Raceway in Blountville, TN. Creamer may be on a winning streak, but his overall win today was not an easy feat. With second place finishes in each of the two motos, Creamer took the overall win, and moved him 20 points ahead of his teammate Dustin Wimmer in the chase for the championship.
"Today turned out really well for us," said Creamer. "This is our third win in a row, and we've extended our points lead ever further."
Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki started their weekend on a high note when current champion, Dustin Wimmer, earned the $100 ATVRiders.com Fastest Qualifier award. Going into today's event, many slated Wimmer as the man to beat, but he first had to overcome more of the hard luck that has slowed his charge for a third-straight ATV MX Title.
Chad Wienen took the first moto win, finishing 2nd overall.
At the start of moto one, Baldwin Motorsports PEP's Josh Upperman took the first corner and the $250 MotorcycleUSA.com holeshot award. Although Upperman was off to the early lead, it wasn't long before Motoworks Can-Am rider John Natalie and Dustin Wimmer were headed for the front. As the riders jumped through the pro section, Natalie's bike shut off mid-air, forcing Wimmer to land on top of him.
"The first moto, I had a  dose of bad luck once again." said Wimmer, who has struggled throughout the season. "John [Natalie] lost his motor and unfortunately, I landed on top of him over a double. Luckily, he was okay and I got back on the bike and did the best I could to make passes."
With Natalie and Wimmer out of the running for the top spots, Walsh's Jeremy Lawson overcame Upperman for the lead. Motoworks Can-Am rider Chad Wienen was fighting towards the front while Creamer made a stunning recovery from a last-place start, passing through the pack to the third spot. In the last few laps, both Wienen and Creamer were able to overcome Lawson to finish 1-2 respectively. Wimmer recovered for seventh, with Natalie in 14th.
