Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Dustin Wimmer, won
the ATVRiders.com fastest qualifier award with a
time of 1:50.79 and carried that speed over to moto
one as he would take second off the line behind
Upperman. Unfortunately, Wimmer had plenty of company
and was busy holding off his teammate Josh Creamer
and would have to settle for second in moto one.

Suzuki's
#1 Dustin Wimmer claimed the ATVriders.com
fastest qualifier award with a time 1:50.789
by edging out #9 Josh Creamer with a time
of 1:51.363

Once again in Moto One, Wimmer
was able to edge out Creamer for the 2nd
spot & it appeared Wimmer was going
to gain some ground on Creamer's points
lead |
In moto two, Wimmer got off to a top five start,
but wasn't able to gain any ground on the leaders
as he worked his way up to a fourth place finish,
but it was enough to put him on the podium in
second overall.

Suzuki's
#1 Dustin Wimmer got off to a 5th place
start in Moto 2 & he would go on to
finish in 4th after passing Jeremy Lawson,
which earned Wimmer 2nd Overall, but allowed
Creamer to extend his points lead to 30
points with only 2 rounds remaining
|
Can-Am/Motoworks’ John Natalie got off
to a slow start as he had to make his way all
the way up from back in 11th place in the first
moto. Natalie would charge hard and make his way
into the top five before reaching the checkered
flag.

Motowork's
#13 John Natalie Jr grabbed the Moto Two
Holeshot by hanging onto the inside line
around turn one, which allowed him to
edge out #9 Josh Creamer who would move
into second place. #123 Nick DeNoble wasn't
as lucky as he slammed into the hay bails
as his quad bounced into Joe Byrd
|
Natalie would be on a mission in moto two and
would take the holeshot and lead for half of the
moto. Natalie would fall back to second when he
would make a mistake under the pressure from Josh
Creamer, but he would fight back until the end
and take a strong second, which would put him
in third on the podium.

#13 John Natalie
held the lead in Moto 2 for eight laps,
till he nearly wrecked in front of the
spectators when he hit a rut, which sent
him out of control, but Natalie quickly
recovered & moved in behind Creamer.
Natalie wasn't about to let the Creamer
pull away as Natalie recorded the fastest
laptime of the Moto amazingly in the 11th
lap with a time of 01:51.062, but he wasn't
able to regain the lead as Creamer &
Natalie put 6 seconds on third place finish

“I just went out there and did my best
in moto two and took the holeshot,” said
Natalie.
