Dustin Wimmer lead the charge in the Pro
Qualifier with a 1:54.269 laptime |
Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Dustin Wimmer
was in sixth off the line and made quick work
of Can-Am’s Jeremie Warnia to take over
the number five position right behind teammate
Josh Creamer. Wimmer, like Creamer, hung back
as all the drama unfolded between the number 44
and 13 Can-Am riders. Wimmer would stay behind
Creamer and finish in a respectable third place
in moto one.
Moto two, Wimmer was off to a better start, in
second behind Upperman. Wimmer held back for several
laps, waiting for an opportunity to make a clean
pass. Wimmer got the opportunity and took over
the lead and held it all the way to the checkered
flag to take second overall for the day.
“I wanted to get a better start in moto
two, and I just stayed focused. I’m glad
that Josh and I got our Suzuki’s on the
podium,” said Wimmer.

Suzuki's
Dustin Wimmer had something to prove in
Moto 2 as he charged his way past Upperman
to take over the lead & secure the
win, which boosted Wimmer to the 2nd spot
on the Podium & he currently holds
a 5 point lead over Josh Creamer in the
Pro ATV Championship points race

Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Josh Creamer was
holding a strong fourth off the start and was
right behind Chad Wienen. Creamer looked as if
he were holding back a bit and stayed right behind
Wienen to wait and see how things would unfold.
Creamer’s patients paid off as he would
move into the number two position when Wienen
and Natalie would crash. Creamer would hold down
the number two spot all the way to the checkered
flag.
“I’m just happy to be on the podium
every round. My Rockstar Makita Suzuki was running
great and the track was good so we had a good
race out there,” stated Creamer.

2 wasn't as smooth for Josh Creamer as he
nearly crashed in lap one & later he
would pull his kill-switch by accident,
which dropped him back to a 5th place finish |
In moto two, Creamer got off to a decent start,
and had worked his way to the number three spot,
but just as soon as he got there, he accidentally
pulled his kill cord going over a jump and went
off the track when his quad quit. Creamer was
able to get back on track and went on to finish
fifth, which would give him the final spot on
the podium.
