Honda's Joe Byrd Hits High Point Grand Slam
::Continued::

Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer  -  Pro ATV Motocross Racers

Adding to Bryd’s stellar day was the bad luck of series points leader Dustin Wimmer. The MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro Taper rider earned the Ti Lube Fast Qualifier Award, and the Suspension Systems Holeshot Award, en route to winning the opening moto. However, the Center Valley, Pa. rider suffered a variety of misfortunes to post a 15th place in moto two. Most in attendance were expecting another win from the previously dominant Wimmer, but he ran into trouble right out of the gate.

“I came together with Josh Creamer, we rubbed tires and I was lucky not to crash," said Wimmer. "I was completely up on my front wheels, spinning backwards, and somehow I pulled it out."

From there it things continued to go poorly for the series points leader: “I cut the right front tire down when I made contact with Josh," added Wimmer, "then the left went flat on the second lap.”

Wimmer’s team changed his tires. He continued to race to salvage valuable points.

Team Honda edged closer to Team Suzuki in the Manufacturers' Cup standings. Suzuki now holds a 46-point lead going into the next race. Team Can-Am sits third, 49 markers out of the lead.
