San
Bernardino, CA (3/10/2008)
– There's just something about Dustin Wimmer.
The soft-spoken third-year pro from Center Valley,
Pa. saves his talk for the track. That's just what
Wimmer did on Sunday as the rider of the No. 191
MSRSuzuki/Yoshimura//Pro Taper machine swept the
season-opening ITP/Moose Racing AMA Pro ATV Championship
Series race at Glen Helen Raceway.

#191
Dustin Wimmer dominated the Glen Helen Raceway
season opener by winning both Motos with
a commanding lead over the competition on
his Suzuki LT-R450 QuadRacer |
With 23 Pro riders on tap, and in front of a
record crowd of more than 10,000 fans, Wimmer
certainly had his work cut out for him.
After setting the second fastest time in qualifying
on Saturday, Wimmer went on a mission, literally
dominating both motos to net the victory. Chad Wienen
(No. 44 Team Rockstar/MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro Taper)
was second in both motos, taking the runner-up slot
in the final order. Josh Creamer (No. 9 Monster
Energy/Kawasaki) completed the podium.

"It's great to start the season with a win,"
said Wimmer. "This really sets confidence
for the year. The team is really working great
this year with Kory (Ellis) as the manager. The
mechanics are working hard. Everybody is really
doing a great job.
"We had some good qualifying runs,"
added Wimmer. "In the first moto, I was second
out of the gate. I passed Joe (Byrd) on the first
lap and got a good solid lead, staying out front.
In the second moto, I was third off the gate,
passed Creamer on the first lap and Joe (Byrd)
on the second. From there, I really just cruised."
