Brea, CA (7/28/2008) - It was a
fantastic day for Team MSR / Suzuki / Yoshimura
/ Pro Taper's Dustin Wimmer (#191), as he clinched
the 2008 Moose Racing/ITP Tires AMA/ATVA National
Championship at Red Bud Raceway in Buchanan, Michigan.
Rockstar / MSR / Suzuki / Yoshimura / Pro Taper
teammates Chad Wienen (#44) and Doug Gust (#55)
also had reason to celebrate with two strong performances.
"This is great," an excited Wimmer
said after securing his first major championship.
"I'm happy to be able to deliver this title
for my fans, Suzuki and for our sponsors. All
the hard work paid off and it feels really good."
The Suzuki QuadRacer R450-mounted Wimmer (#191)
demonstrated the speed that has put him at the
top of the points chart this season as he took
home another Top Qualifier award. As the first
moto began, however, Wimmer wisely opted to take
it easy and secure the championship. Meanwhile,
teammate Chad Wienen took over at the front of
the pack and set a furious pace. Wienen maintained
his pace to the checkered flag while veteran teammate
Gust rounded out the podium in third. Wimmer would
cross the line in fourth, good enough to secure
the championship.
Wienen went on to end the day in second overall
with a 1-2 finish. Gust joined his teammate on
the podium with a third overall (3-5), while newly
crowned champion Wimmer finished the day in fifth
(4-6).

Wimmer was jubilant after the first moto. "This
has been a great season. I just went out there
and rode safely. My Suzuki team members deserve
most of the credit. My bike has been just perfect
all year, and that's how you win championships."
Wimmer's mechanic, Glen Schulde received the "Mechanic
of the Race Award."
"We've worked really hard for this and it
just doesn't get any better," Team Manager
Kory Ellis explained. "It was a perfect combination
this year - the bike, the riders, the mechanics
and all the support we get from our sponsors just
all came together."
The championship is extra sweet for Suzuki as
they are celebrating their 25th Anniversary of being
"First on Four Wheels." Suzuki continues
to dominate the Manufacturers' Cup.
