Morgantown, WV (3/30/2008) -
Dustin Wimmer continued his dominance of
the FMF Spring National at Mill Creek Raceway,
winning the first of two AMA Pro ATV motos
on Sunday. The event represents Round 2
of the 2008 ITP Tires/Moose Racing AMA/ATVA
ATV Championship Series.
Wimmer (No. 191 Team MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro
Taper) started second behind Suspension
Technologies Holeshot Award winner Josh
Upperman (No. 20 Honda). Upperman went off
track on the first lap, and Wimmer pounced,
taking the lead for good. Behind Wimmer,
Chad Wienen (No. 55 Team Rockstar/MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro
Taper) took second from John Natalie, Jr.
early in the race and finished second. Natalie
(No. 13 Can-Am) just held off defending
Champion Joe Byrd (No. 7 IMS/Honda) in the
final turn to finish third.
"I just stuck with Josh at the start,
and when I saw my chance, I took it,"
said Wimmer, who remains undefeated this
season. "From there, I just tried to
stay smooth and hold my line. It's great
to win another one!"
The second moto is scheduled for today
at 3 p.m. CDT.
