Dustin Wimmer kicks off 2009 with
back to back Wins |
Pell
City, AL (3/22/2009)
– Staking his claim to the victory with two
near-perfect motos, Rockstar Makita Suzuki rider
Dustin Wimmer made it two in a row by grabbing the
win at Millcreek Raceway's FMF ATV Spring National,
round two of the 2009 ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross
Championship presented by Parts Unlimited. Although
Wimmer did not secure either of the MotorcycleUSA.com
Holeshot Awards, they were not necessary to go home
with what he wanted most, another check in the win
column.
"I take everything race-by-race and try
to be real consistent and be up on the podium
everytime," said Wimmer. "Consistency
wins championships."
In the first moto, rookie Nick DeNoble led the
pack to the $250 MotorcycleUSA.com Holeshot Award,
the first Pro holeshot of his career.
He held Honda Baldwin Motorsports' Josh Upperman
and Wimmer off for several turns before relinquishing
spots to both riders. Wimmer eventually took over
the lead, and a charging Joe Byrd rallied from
a bad start to drop Upperman to third for the
moto.

Wimmer took the Moto One Win with 10 seconds
to spare over Joe byrd in 2nd place |
"I could've gated better, and that was definitely
my fault," said Wimmer of not getting the
holeshot. "Half way up the hill for the first
turn I started to pull it together and after a
lap or two I was in the lead in both motos."
Early moto one contenders, Warnert Racing Can-Am's
John Natalie and ATVSource.com Top Qualifier Award
winner Chad Wienen, both fell to mechanical troubles,
ending their challenge for podium finishes
