Over Points Lead

second overall
Round 9 – AMA ATV Motocross Series
Armagh, Pennsylvania -
Pleasure Valley Raceway (June 18-19, 2009) - Rockstar Makita Suzuki Racing‘s Dustin Wimmer
celebrated an outstanding AMA ATV Motocross
victory at the Suzuki Summer Nationals at
Pleasure Valley Raceway in Armagh, Pennsylvania,
on Sunday. Wimmer not only captured one-one moto
finishes to take the overall victory, the
defending AMA ATV Motocross Champion also moved
into the championship points lead with this
result. This victory marks Wimmer’s fifth win of
the season, which is even more impressive
considering he was injured mid-season and had to
miss a round. Adding to the excitement of the
weekend, Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Doug Gust
followed his teammate home in an impressive
second place. Gust carded third- and
second-place moto finishes to take second-place
overall at Pleasure Valley. This is Gust’s
fourth visit to the podium this year and he is
currently in fourth place in the points chase.
Dustin Wimmer:
“It feels good to take the win and be back in
the points lead. I just need to put in three
more solid motos to have the championship
wrapped up. There was definitely some good
racing going on this weekend. I think this round
was the most exciting so far. There was a lot of
back-and-forth, so I had to stay focused and
fast on my Rockstar Makita Suzuki QuadRacer
R450. I’m going to do some extra training for
the next round at Red Bud because it can get
really rough and I want to be ready for it.”
Doug Gust:
“This was definitely one of the best races of
the year. My Rockstar Makita Suzuki QuadRacer
R450 had plenty of power and got me to the front
and there was some really good racing going on.
I really like the changes they made to the
facility and the track. It’s a technical track
and requires a lot of throttle control. I’ve
been training hard, I’m still in it and it’s not
over until the last race.”
Rockstar Makita Suzuki Racing will race next
at .the AMA ATV Red Bud National at Red Bud
Track ‘N’ Trail in Buchanan, Michigan, the
weekend of August 1-2, 2009.
