Creten, the defending freestyle champion, proved once again why he is wildest freestyle competitor at Maverik Clash of the Titans; unleashing on the freestyle obstacles. Creten won the judges and spectators over with big jumps and a doughnut on the grass infield that gave new meaning to the term agricultural racing.

This is Fahrner’s first win in the 2012 racing season. He currently sits in second for the 2012 campaign just 88 points behind Lawrence.

#43 Jayden Park picked up his first career win in the Hornet 20-lap main.
