Dustin Wimmer, Chad Wienen, Doug Gust Sweep SuperQuad
Pro 450 Podium |
Brea, CA (5/14/2007) - The triple threat
of the Suzuki Factory Team took over the whole podium
Sunday evening for the second round of the World PowerSports
ATV SuperQuad 450 Pro Series. Overall, Suzuki riders finished
one, two, three, four, and five in a dominating performance
by the Suzuki QuadRacer R450s.
Illinois native, Chad Wienen of Team Rockstar/MSR/Pro
Taper/Suzuki/Yoshimura finished as top dog after an
incredible come from behind race and an all out dogfight
with his two teammates Doug Gust of Team Rockstar/MSR/Pro
Taper/Suzuki/Yoshimura and Dustin Wimmer of Team MSR/ProTaper/Suzuki/Yoshimura.
The ESPN2 cameras were able to catch some heart stopping
action as Wienen jockeyed for passing positions with
both his teammates. The local fans cheered loudly for
Chad, the home state favorite.
The event started as always with the heat races –
which the Suzukis dominated. The first Saturday heat
race saw "Digger" Doug Gust come out strong
with teammate Chad "Wide Open" Wienen not
too far behind. Chad stalled his bike momentarily in
a corner and lost a chance at the heat race win. It
was Gust first with Lost Creek/Yoshimura/Suzuki rider
Joe Haavisto bagging second at the checkers.

The second heat race was the "Dustin Wimmer show".
Team MSR/Pro Taper/Suzuki/Yoshimura rider #191 grabbed
the holeshot and then flat checked out. In victory circle,
Wimmer felt positive, "This is going to be an incredible
weekend. My teammates and I are on the gas and are going
to be putting our QuadRacer R450s up on the box all
year. This is the beginning of something big. We are
going to put together a pretty good show for ESPN2 by
the time we are done this weekend."
