Suzuki's
#1 Dustin Wimmer challenging Baldwin's #20
Josh Upperman for 3rd |
Suzuki’s Dustin Wimmer, who has never been
a big fan of the track at Ballance Moto X, was
in the top ten off the line and would eventually
work his way into the number three position after
a hard fought battle with Josh Upperman. Moto
two seemed to go a little better for the current
champ as he was in the top five off the line and
soon began to battle with Chad Wienen and Thomas
Brown.
It was an intense three way battle for the number
three and four spots but Wimmer would eventually
come out ahead and end his day with a third place
moto two finish, giving him second place on the
podium. “I just tried to stay focused and
make it to the podium to keep the points lead,”
stated Wimmer.

Chad Wienen in Moto 2

Joe Byrd was looking strong in the first half
of moto one despite being under the weather last
week, but appeared to encounter some issues and
dropped back to finish in seventh place. In moto
two Byrd made a comeback, as he flew off the line
in second place. Byrd would chase down Josh Creamer
and take over the lead for several laps before
falling back to second. Despite a huge battle
with Creamer, Byrd was unable to take back the
lead, giving him second place at the end of the
moto, but his strong finish in moto two enabled
him to claim third overall.
