AMA ATV Motocross Nationals
Round #1 - Glen Helen
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.

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."
