Place Trophy

Brea, CA (6/23/2008) - Team MSR
/ Suzuki / Yoshimura / Pro Taper's Dustin Wimmer
delivered another championship-worthy performance
at the 8th round of the ITP Tires/ Moose Racing
AMA/ ATVA National Motocross Championship in Blountville,
Tn. Wimmer (#191) and his Suzuki QuadRacer R450
successfully swept both motos, with teammates Doug
Gust (#55) and Chad Wienen (#44) also putting in
strong performances.
Wimmer established his speed early in the weekend
when he set the fastest time on his way to winning
the Top Qualifier award. When the gate dropped
for the first race, however, it was Team Rockstar
/ MSR / Suzuki / Yoshimura / Pro Taper teammate
Doug Gust leading the field into the first turn.
Gust's lead wouldn't last long, though, as Wimmer
overtook him and set out for the top spot of the
podium. Midway through the race, Wimmer passed
for the lead and he and his Suzuki QuadRacer R450
set an unrivaled pace to take the checkered flag.
Wimmer also had an excellent start in moto two
rounding the 1st turn in second place. He quickly
passed for the lead and rode off to his fifth
overall win of the season. Gust finished the day
in the fourth spot (3-5) and Wienen finished his
first race back from injury an impressive and
solid fifth (4-8).
Wimmer's win extends his lead in the championship
standings to 67 points with just three races remaining.
Suzuki is still dominating the Manufacturers Cup
with a 56 point advantage.
"My Suzuki worked excellent this weekend,"
Wimmer said. "It was really hooked up and
was going great. Both starts I got top two, so
I didn't have to work my way up too much. I passed
into the lead about halfway through the first
moto, and five laps into the second moto, so everything
went really good!"

Charges after Getting the Holeshot
|
Team Manager Kory Ellis was excited by the team's
result. "The day went well, Chad Wienen came
back from missing a race. He's all healed up so
we're really happy with that. Doug Gust rode a
really good race - real consistent all day long,
consistent lap times. Wimmer... man, he just dominated!
He didn't get the holeshot but he came out second
both motos. He had to pass for the lead and then
he simply checked out on everybody. He just completely
dominated the whole field. It's obvious that nothing
can touch the Suzuki QuadRacer's performance.
Combine a machine of that quality and a rider
as fast as Wimmer and it's a tough combination
to beat."
Congratulations also go out to the amateur
Suzuki winners:
Cody Grant - Pro Am Unlimited
