Personal Info:
Born February 21, 1987. Single. Dustin
Wimmer was born in Doylestown, Pennsylvania,
and now resides in Center Valley. One
of the youngest ATV Pro MX champions,
Wimmer’s success is due to equal
parts riding skills and intense fitness.
The 6-foot 3-inch tall Wimmer spends a
good deal of time riding his road and
mountain bicycles, both near his home
and while on the road. And he relaxes
with a not-so-physical round of golf.
Racing Biography:
Dustin Wimmer began his ATV racing career
at age 9, moving up to a Suzuki LT80,
and graduating through the race classes
with unmatched success. He joined the
National Tour in 2000 midway through the
season. In 2001, Wimmer earned his first
National Championship in the Open B class.
The next season, Wimmer raced three different
classes in both the MX series and the
Tourist Trophy (TT) series, earning the
Open A Championship in Motocross. Wimmer
continued his championship run in 2003,
earning National Titles in both the 250A
and the 250 Pro Am classes. This level
of success proved that Wimmer was ready
to turn pro, and he did in 2004. One of
the youngest pros on the circuit, Wimmer
was still able to compete near the top
and finish 4th overall for the season.
The 2005 season was more difficult for
Wimmer, and he finished ninth overall
in the Pro class. ??In 2006, 19-year-old
Wimmer was runner-up to Doug Gust in the
WPSA ATV MX series, and Suzuki quickly
signed him to the factory team. He earned
second-place overall again in 2007 in
his first year aboard the Suzuki QuadRacer
R450. In 2008, Wimmer returned to his
title-winning form, as he captured the
ATV MX Pro championship. His racing talent
and hard work in the off-season led him
to back-to-back championships, again clinching
the title in 2009 in the AMA ATV MX Championship
series. Dustin’s 2010 campaign will
be his fourth year on the Rockstar Makita
Suzuki team.
