Monster Energy
Kawasaki’s ATV Racing Team Poised for Success
Josh Creamer and Chad Wienen |
IRVINE, Calif. – With two seasons of racing
under its belt on the Kawasaki KFX®450R, the
Monster Energy Kawasaki ATV Racing Team is
looking to have its best season yet in 2009.
The Monster Energy Kawasaki ATV Racing team
returns to the competitive AMA ATV National
Motocross Series with a two-man team looking for
the Kawasaki’s first-series win. Returning for
his third year, Josh Creamer has been a key
component to improving the Kawasaki race
machine. Last year he earned four podium
finishes, including one moto win aboard the
KFX450R. He knows what it takes to win and is
very eager to be on top of the podium.
New to the team in 2009 is Chad Wienen, the
2008 AMA Pro ATV Open winner and an AMA ATV race
winner. Wienen healed from injury during the
2008 season and came back to dominate the last
several races in the series, including the ATV
Open win at Steel City Raceway. Wienen’s drive
to constantly improve and see results fits
perfect within the Kawasaki racing philosophy.
“Chad and Josh are great friends on and off
the track and have always pushed each other to
higher levels of performance,” said Team Green™
Manager Reid Nordin. “I can only see that
increasing now that they are teammates. Chad
possesses great finesse on the track and knows
how to race from a strategic standpoint. Josh
knows how to push the limits of the KFX450R and
has a never-quit attitude. The two are shaping
up to be a great fit for the 2009 season.”
Along with competing in the AMA ATV National
Motocross Series, Kawasaki will be backing its
commitment in other ATV series’, particularly in
the WORCS and New England ATV Series’ (NEATV).
The DATS Racings team will be back for its
third season in the WORCS ATV Series. The team
already has one championship in the ProAm class
and is looking to add to that in 2009. In the
NEATV, Joe Haavisto brought Kawasaki two
championships in 2008 in the Pro and Pro-Am
classes and is looking to make it back to back
championships in 2009.
In just a short amount of time, the Monster
Energy Kawasaki ATV Racing Team is poised to be
one of the top teams. The steady improvement
from its inception shows the dedication every
team member has to winning.
