In the first moto, Creamer was involved in a tangle at the first turn. He was the last racer to recover from the pile up. The former champion put his head down and made passes when he could. He raced his Can-Am from 15th on lap one to sixth position on the final lap. He turned his personal fastest lap time on the tenth lap, a 01:38.747.

The second moto looked like the Josh Creamer show. Creamer used his BCS Performance engine to grab the holeshot.
