Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Dustin Wimmer Dominates
Round 2 of the AMA ATV MX Championship
Round 2 – 2009 AMA ATV MX Championship
Millcreek Raceway – Pell City, Ala.
Brea, Calif. (March 22, 2009) – Backing up
his opening round victory and working to defend
his championship, Dustin Wimmer dominated both
motos of the AMA ATV MX Championship at
Millcreek Raceway in Pell City, Alabama.
In Moto 1, Wimmer was forced to work his way
through the field, eventually taking the lead
from rookie Nick DeNoble. It took Wimmer just a
few laps to secure the lead, and from there he
rode a nearly perfect moto.
With increased confidence and a better gate
pick, Wimmer needed just a couple short laps
before taking the lead in the afternoon race.
His Rockstar Makita Suzuki QuadRacer R450
powered him to the Moto 2 victory, earning a
first-place finish for the weekend.
“Starting off the season with two wins
definitely has me motivated,” said Wimmer. He’s
motivated, but not over-confident. “I’m going to
take it race by race, try to be as consistent as
possible, and win another championship for the
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Racing team.”
Wimmer’s teammate and former champion Doug
Gust finished in sixth-place overall for the
weekend. “Getting a good start is really
important this year because the competition is
so much faster,” said Doug Gust. “Hopefully I’ll
be able to avoid any first turn pile ups and
I’ll get my Suzuki QuadRacer R450 on the podium
at Bowling Green.”
The Rockstar Makita Suzuki Racing team will
compete in the third round of the 2009 AMA ATV
MX Championship season April 5 in Bowling Green,
Ky.
