Blountville, TN With championship pressure mounting, Rockstar / Makita / Yoshimura Suzuki's Defending AMA Pro ATV MX Champion Dustin Wimmer made a major statement by grabbing two come-from-behind moto victories and the overall win at round eight of the 2009 ITP Tires/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship presented by Parts Unlimited. Tennessee's Muddy Creek Raceway hosted the event, which also served as round seven of the ATVA amateur tour.

"I felt great," said Wimmer, who also grabbed the ATVSource.com Top Qualifier Award. "I want to show these guys I can come back and be number one."

Wimmer's dramatic return to victory lane came less than two months after he dislocated his shoulder in a practice crash, and then lost the points lead while fighting to come back.

In Tennesse, he started moto one in 11th place but charged through the pack. He began the last lap in third place, but got around his teammate Gust for second, and then pressured Can-Am's Jeremy Lawson for the lead.

Motowork's Jeremy Lawson held the lead for nearly the entire race after passing Joe Byrd in the 2nd lap, but in the final lap, he had both Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer & Doug Gust applying the pressure with Wimmer charging his way through the pack from a mid-pack start. In the final lap of Moto One, Wimmer made his move on Gust & passed Lawson by taking the inside on a left-hand turn to claim the lead just before the checkered flag. Amazingly, Wimmer recorded the fastest laptime of the Moto in the final lap of the race with a 1:58.229

Wimmer nailed an inside line in a hard left-hand turn to get the lead from Lawson and win the moto by less than a second, with Gust right behind them in third. Current series' leader Chad Wienen, also suffering from a bad start, took fourth on his Monster Energy/Kawasaki ahead of Can-Am rider Cody Miller.
