Brea, CA (6/9/2008) - Team MSR
/ Suzuki / Yoshimura / Pro Taper's Dustin Wimmer
(#191) walked away with his fourth overall win at
this weekend's 7th round of the ITP Tires/Moose
Racing AMA/ATVA National Motocross Championship
at Unadilla MX in New Berlin, NY.
Wimmer went into the race with the fastest qualifying
time on Saturday. He followed that up on Sunday
when he parlayed a consistent 2-2 moto score for
the overall win. Sunday's two motos offered varied
challenges to the riders. Soaring high temperatures
mixed with increasing humidity spawned heavy intermittent
afternoon showers and a muddy track for the second
moto.
Wimmer was pleased with his performance: "The
Suzuki QuadRacer R450 was really hooked up. Today
was a perfect example of how well my Suzuki performs
in all conditions - it's a definite advantage."
"Dustin ran a smart race today," Team
Manager Kory Ellis explained. "He had good
starts in both motos, and ran two consistent races.
This is how you need to ride in order to win a
championship." Wimmer now holds a 61 point
lead in the series overall while Suzuki continues
its dominance of the Manufacturers' Cup.

Class; Michael Rakes took the Open B Class; Chase
