Dustin Wimmer (#191) walked away with his fourth
overall win at this weekend's 7th round of the
ITP Tires/Moose Racing AMA/ATVA National
Motocross Championship at Unadilla MX in New
Berlin, NY.
Wimmer went into the race with the fastest
qualifying time on Saturday. He followed that up
on Sunday when he parlayed a consistent 2-2 moto
score for the overall win. Sunday's two motos
offered varied challenges to the riders. Soaring
high temperatures mixed with increasing humidity
spawned heavy intermittent afternoon showers and
a muddy track for the second moto.
Wimmer was pleased with his performance: "The
Suzuki QuadRacer R450 was really hooked up.
Today was a perfect example of how well my
Suzuki performs in all conditions - it's a
definite advantage."
"Dustin ran a smart race today," Team Manager
Kory Ellis explained. "He had good starts in
both motos, and ran two consistent races. This
is how you need to ride in order to win a
championship." Wimmer now holds a 61 point lead
in the series overall while Suzuki continues its
dominance of the Manufacturers' Cup.
Wimmer was also the winner of the second
round of the ITP Tires Grand Slam Presented by
QUAD Magazine championship series - a four round
series within a series.
In the amateur divisions Suzuki riders had a
great day too. Cody Gibson won in the Pro-Am
Unlimited Class; Michael Rakes took the Open B
Class; Chase Cunningham captured the 4-Stroke A
and the Junior 25+ classes; Jerry Huckabey won
the 40+ division; Chad Lohr got first in the Vet
30+A.
Next stop for the team is at Muddy Creek MX
on June 20-22nd.
