Brea, CA (5/12/2008) - Team MSR
/ Suzuki / Yoshimura / Pro Taper's leading man,
#191 Dustin Wimmer, topped the podium for the third
time this season in the fifth round of the ITP Moose
Racing ATV MX Series at Sunset Ridge MX in Walnut,
Il.
Due to torrential rains and high winds, the event
was reduced from its normal two 20-minutes plus
two laps moto format, to a one moto event of only
15 minutes plus two laps. The course itself also
had to be shortened due to flooding issues.
The challenge was set for the team and Wimmer's
QuadRacer R450 was up to the task as he pulled
a monster holeshot at the drop of the gate. From
there, Wimmer's Suzuki looked like it was on rails
as he expertly battled rain, mud and wind as well
as other racers to the win.
"It was a mess out there," Wimmer explained
after the race. "I knew I had to get the
holeshot in order to just see the course. My Suzuki
jumped off the line so hard, I just pushed forward
and never looked back."
Teammates Doug Gust (#55) and Chad Wienen (#44)
also got their QuadRacers off the blocks fast.
Gust ran a great race finishing fourth at the
checkers. With some of the other contenders having
a rough day, both Wimmer and Gust gained valuable
points. So far this season, Suzuki has won four
of the five races held in this series.

Team Manager Kory Ellis was happy with the results.
"Wimmer qualified with the fastest time on
Saturday so we thought we'd have a good weekend.
Then the rains came and threw a "Wild Card"
into the mix. But Wimmer rode to another impressive
win and pushed his points lead even further forward.
Also, Gust is holding on to his second place spot
and Suzuki is dominating the points in the race
for the coveted Manufacturer's Cup."
With six races left to go it's still too early
to make predictions, but Dustin Wimmer and Suzuki
are definitely dominating this series.
