Morgantown, WV (3/30/2008) -
AMA Pro ATV rider Dustin Wimmer set the
fastest time in final practice today for
this afternoon's Spring National at Millcreek
Raceway, winning the $100 Ti Lube Top Qualifier
Award. The event is Round 2 of the ITP Tires/Moose
Racing AMA/ATVA ATV Championship Series.
Wimmer (No. 191 MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro
Taper) led teammates Chad Wienen (No. 55
Team Rockstar/MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro Taper)
and Doug Gust (No. 55 Team Rockstar/MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro
Taper) during the final session, recording
a blistering one-minute, 54.656-second lap.
The session was run in wet conditions due
to recent rainstorms and set up only a three-second
gap from first through 10th on the grid.
"I'm really comfortable this weekend,"
said Wimmer. "The weather changes haven't
really been an issue for me. I've just tried
to keep my lines fluid and it's working
out.
"The race is going to be won at the
start," added Wimmer. "The wet
conditions really make for a one-line race
track, so the holeshot is really going to
be the defining factor today."
Pro racing continues at noon with first
moto. The second moto is scheduled for 3
p.m. A full card of Amateur, Youth and Women's
racing is also on tap.
