Rockstar Makita Suzuki Racing’s Dustin Wimmer
and Doug Gust celebrated their first double
podium of the season at last weekend’s Muddy
Creek AMA ATV Motocross National in Blountville,
Tennessee. Wimmer piloted his Rockstar Makita
Suzuki QuadRacer R450 to victory while teammate
Gust followed him home in second place. This
victory is Wimmer’s fourth of the 2009 season
and he is currently in second place in the
overall championship points standings. For Gust,
this result marks his third podium finish of the
season and he is in fourth place in the overall
championship points standings.
In the GNCC, Rockstar Makita Suzuki Racing‘s
Chris Borich continues his winning ways. The
series championship points leader charged hard
on his Rockstar Makita Suzuki QuadRacer R450 at
the Snowshoe National in West Virginia this past
weekend and picked up his fourth consecutive
victory of the season. As if that weren’t
impressive enough, this win is also Borich’s
sixth win of the season overall. Borich heads
into the GNCC’s two-month summer break with more
than 20 points on second place.
Dustin Wimmer, 1st place AMA ATV MX:
“It feels great to be back on top. In the first
moto, once I got the track down, I just put my
head down and started passing people on my
Rockstar Makita Suzuki QuadRacer R450. I had to
work hard for the win in the first moto but in
moto two, I got a much better start and I was
able to take over the lead quickly and just be
in cruise control. This win was a real
confidence-booster for me. I put in a lot of
hard work and it paid off for me this weekend.
I’m still only at about 95 percent but I’ll be
at 100 percent for round nine and I’m looking
for another win. I’m only about seven points off
the lead and I hope to take over that lead soon
and give Suzuki another championship.”
Doug Gust, 2nd place AMA ATV MX:
“My Rockstar Makita Suzuki performed really well
for me this weekend. It had the power I needed
to get good starts and good results. I put in a
good charge in the first moto and worked up to
second.
I’ve been doing a lot of training in between
races and I’ll be training hard again because at
the next round, I want to win. It’s really great
when Dustin and I are both on the podium in the
number one and two spots like we were this
weekend. It’s a big confidence-booster for the
team when we both do well. I’m in fourth place
in the points chase right now, so I’m excited
about that.”
Chris Borich, 1st place GNCC:
“The track was a little different from the last
time I raced here. They added in a 10-mile
section so we were doing 20-mile laps. I took it
easy on my Rockstar Makita Suzuki QuadRacer R450
on the first lap because I didn’t know what to
expect. My goal was to keep moving forward. I’m
really happy that I have a nice points lead
going into the break. It takes a little weight
off my shoulders. Over the break, I’m going to
take a couple of weeks off to relax, and then
I’m going to be training hard again.
The prospect of taking a championship this
year has me really pumped up, but I have to stay
grounded and focused. I’m just going to take it
one race at a time. I’m hoping for a couple more
wins when we come back from the break so I can
give Suzuki a championship,” Rockstar Makita
Suzuki Factory Racing will race next at the AMA
ATV Pleasure Valley National in Armagh,
Pennsylvania, the weekend of July 18-19, 2009,
and at the Unadilla GNCC in New Berlin, New
York, the weekend of Sept. 12-13, after the
summer break.
