Mt. Morris, PA (5/25/2008) -
Team MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro Taper’s
Dustin Wimmer edged out Monster Energy Kawasaki's
Josh Creamer to earn the Suspension Systems
Holeshot Award and lead every lap to take
the win in the first moto of the Pro ATV racing
program Sunday at High Point Raceway. The
event was part of the ATV Stampede, Round
6 of the ITP Tires/Moose Racing AMA/ATVA National
Motocross Championship Series.
Wimmer held off Can-Am's Jeremy Lawson
throughout the moto to net the victory.
Jeremy Lawson was second on a Can-Am. Rounding
out the podium was two-time and defending
AMA Pro Champion Joe Byrd, who passed Josh
Creamer (No. 9 Team Monster Energy Kawasaki)
early in the event.
“The track was in great shape; Racer
Productions did a good job with this race,”
said Wimmer. “My Suzuki got me out
front early and everything went well.”
Wimmer fought through tightening muscles
in his arms during the event.
“I had arm pump in practice so I
was a little worried about it,” added
Wimmer. “I just got tight for a while,
but I concentrated on keeping a steady pace
and not letting my lead get too small. Everything
is working well, so we aren’t making
any changes for moto two.”
The second moto is scheduled to start 3
p.m.
