Brea, CA - April 14, 2008
- Team Rockstar/MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro Taper's
veteran rider Doug Gust took the Bluegrass ATV
National with a 2-2 win on Sunday. Teammate
Dustin Wimmer won the first moto and ended the
day in the third position.
Gust placed second at the previous race in
Pell City Alabama, but today Gust turned the
tables and finished up on top. Wimmer still
enjoys a commanding points lead in the series
championship, which has seen Suzuki QuadRacers
dominate.
Gust felt good to notch this overall win:
"I'm 41 years old and know that I can still do
this. I'm getting great support from my team and
my Suzuki QuadRacer R450 keeps pulling me to the
front."
Rain and mud proved to be a challenge for all
the racers in the second moto, adding another
challenging element to the already difficult
track at Ballance Moto X. "Doug has more
experience in this kind of condition and it
showed today," Team Manager Kory Ellis said.
"We're all really proud to see him back up on
top."
Chad Wienen looked like he was going to
dominate the weekend by qualifying the fastest
time in qualifying on Saturday. Uneven moto
scores again due to the muddy conditions netted
him11th place overall.
The team is still holding the top three spots
in the points race with a commanding lead by
Dustin Wimmer with 134 points; Gust with 113 and
Wienen with 89.
In the amateur classes Suzuki took many of
the top honors with Cody Gibson taking first in
both the Pro Am Production and Unlimited classes
and Michael Brewster winning the 450A class.
