#1 Dustin Wimmer Goes 1-1 to extends
his points lead to 45 points |
Buchanan,
MI (8/3/2009) –
Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer
took what looked like an effortless win as he sailed
to his sixth win of the year, in a methodical 1-1
win at RedBud MX in Buchanan, MI. Wimmer has run
the gamut of luck this season, starting off exceptionally
well, then sitting out two races with an injury,
struggling trying to mount a comeback, and then
winning the last two races back.Now, Wimmer stands
close to winning back-to-back championships in the
ITP Tires/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship
Presented by Parts Unlimited, this one his toughest
yet.
Monster Energy Kawasaki's Josh Creamer and Chad
Wienen were close behind, keeping the Kawasaki
versus Suzuki fight alive for in the Manufacturer's
Cup Championship.
In moto one, Creamer took the MotorcycleUSA.com
holeshot and led the first five laps while Harold
Goodman, Wimmer and Doug Gust stayed close behind.
Wienen had a rough start, starting back in ninth
but in typical Wienen fashion, recovered to fourth
place by the end of the moto. Wimmer passed Goodman
on the 2nd lap and pressured Creamer until the
6th lap, when he took the lead for the win. Gust
took a solid 3rd place.

moto. In that moto, Goodman continued to ride
well, taking the MotorcycleUSA.com holeshot while
Wimmer, Creamer, Byrd and Gust followed behind.
Wienen had another bad start in 9th place before
he was able to recover. Wimmer passed Goodman
on the second lap and took the lead, but his win
wasn't easy. Byrd and Creamer pressured each other
as they started to gain on Wimmer. At the last
minute, Wimmer was able to dig a little deeper
to hold onto first. Byrd took second, while Creamer
took third.
