Dustin Wimmer Back in the Lead
Going into Final Two Rounds
2009 ITP Tires/Moose Racing
AMA ATV Motocross Championship
Buchanan, MI (7/31/2009) - Rockstar/Makita
Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer appeared to have finally
fully recovered from his midseason injury as he
catapulted back into the points lead with just
two rounds of the 2009 ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV
Motocross Championship left to go. In dramatic
fashion, Wimmer stole first overall in the final
lap at Pleasure Valley while previous AMA Pro
ATVMX Championship Points leader Chad Wienen had
a miserable day and ended up handing the points
lead back to Wimmer.
Pleasure Valley saw some of the closest racing
yet to be seen, and with Wimmer taking the lead
almost 30 points ahead, and Weinen's loss at Pleasure
Valley, second place has boiled down to three
separate riders.Wienen, Honda's Joe Byrd and Doug
Gust are embroiled in a fight to take a place
behind or against Wimmer. Wienen and Byrd are
separated by only two points and Gust 12 points
behind Byrd. With Wimmer's injury and fast recovery,
and Wienen's virtual worst to best run in the
points standings, this championship could still
be left to anyone.
A state with an affinity for off-road recreational
vehicle use, RedBud owns the bragging rights to
the highest attended U.S. motocross race year
after year. Just the right soil mix, lots of passing
and the biggest jump on the circuit (LaRocco's
Leap), the track provides for some exciting motocross
racing. It's definitely a top motocross destination
in a region that loves its motorsports.
The weekend also includes a full slate of amateur
racing, including classes for riders as young
as four-years-old, as well as veteran divisions
for riders over the age of 50. Practice, qualifying
and racing will take place on Saturday, with final
amateur and Pro moto taking place on Sunday.
The track is 5 miles north of US 12 on Redbud
Trail in Buchanan, Michigan.
