Doug Gust
and Dustin Wimmer Celebrate on the Podium
|
Brea, CA (3/31/2008) - The second
round of the ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross
Series gave Dustin Wimmer his fourth straight
moto win, second straight overall win and a commanding
points lead. Teammate Doug Gust was third on the
Mill Creek Raceway podium with a 5-2 moto score.
Chad Wienen had a top ten finish, carding second
in moto one.
The weekend started off strong for Team Rockstar
/ MSR / Suzuki / Yoshimura / Pro Taper with
Wienen posting quickest qualifying times on
Saturday. Teammate Wimmer posted the second
fastest time on the Pell City, Alabama track.
Sunday morning practice had all three Team Suzuki
QuadRacer R450s showing best times, led by Wimmer.

finished third at Round 2 of the AMA

Dustin Wimmer seems to be the man to beat this
season; so far no one has been able to touch
the Center Valley, Pa. native. Every time he
moves into the lead, he simply checks out, leaving
the field in the dust, or in this case Alabama
mud.
"I'm just really focused this year,"
Wimmer explained about his winning streak. "I
have a much stronger, more serious mindset.
I trained really hard over the winter and the
Suzuki QuadRacer is the best quad out there
by far."
Team Manager Kory Ellis was pleased with -
but not surprised by - Wimmer's winning streak:
"We've been training really hard and did
a lot of testing in the off season plus we have
a really great support team."
