AMA ATV Motocross Nationals Round #3 - Ballance Moto X Bowling Green, Kentucky April 4-5, 2009

On this weekend, Wimmer was unable to find the dominant speed he showed at the first two races of the year. "I wasn't comfortable running their pace," said Wimmer. "If I tried, I would get out of control, so I got two good holeshots and got what I could out of the motos. I would have rather had the rain, because I probably could have made something out it, but I did what I could. Some tracks I favor over others and this one just wasn't one of them. Every race is a different race and I did the best I could."

Kawasaki's Chad Wienen challenged Joe Byrd in Moto One, but a blown turn by Wienen gave Byrd some breathing room as he claimed the Moto One Win	Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer held the third spot in both motos from the 1st lap to the finish line as his winning streak ends at Ballance Moto X, but he remain the points leader

Wienen was almost surprised to be able to get around Wimmer so quickly in the second moto. "I could tell he was a little off the pace compared to normal," said Wienen. "That was probably the easiest I have ever passed a guy like Dustin."

Wienen's teammate Josh Creamer logged consistent 4-4 scores for fourth overall, while Cody Miller took his Can-Am to 6-6 scores and fifth overall. Another Can-Am rider, 2005 Champion John Natalie, took fifth in moto one but struggled to 20th in moto two, knocking him 14th overall. Honda rider Josh Upperman took fifth in the second moto, but a 15th in the first moto held to eighth overall.

Kawasaki's Josh Creamer regained his stride at Ballance Moto X as he secured the 4th spot, and he continues to hold the 3rd spot in the points chase	Can-am's Cody Miller battled with Jeremy Lawson in Moto One for the 6h spot with Miller claiming a Top 5 Overall finish after a string of bad luck the past 2 rounds

Sixth overall went to Yamaha's Thomas Brown, with Clay Holmes in seventh overall. Upperman was eighth, Can-Am rider Brandon Smith was ninth and Wimmer's teammate Doug Gust struggled to tenth overall with 11-10 scores.

The Suzuki rider used 2-2 scores in the motos to top Kawasaki rider Cody Gibson, who went 1-3, and Chase Snapp took his Suzuki to 4-1 scores.
