Dustin Wimmer walked away with his fourth overall win at this weekend's seventh round of the ITP tyres/ Moose Racing AMA/ ATVA National Motocross Championship at Unadilla MX in New Berlin, New York.
Wimmer went into the race with the fastest qualifying time on Saturday and followed up on Sunday with a consistent 2-2 moto score for the overall win.
Sunday's two motos offered varied challenges to the riders. Soaring high temperatures mixed with increasing humidity spawned heavy intermittent afternoon showers and a muddy track for the second moto. Wimmer was pleased with his performance: "The Suzuki QuadRacer R450 was really hooked up. Today was a perfect example of how well my Suzuki performs in all conditions - it's a definite advantage."
Team Manager Kory Ellis said: "Dustin ran a smart race today. He had good starts in both motos and ran two consistent races. This is how you need to ride in order to win a championship."
Wimmer now holds a 61-point lead in the series overall while Suzuki continues its dominance of the Manufacturers' Cup. Wimmer was also the winner of the second round of the ITP tyres Grand Slam Presented by QUAD Magazine championship series - a four round series within a series.
In the amateur divisions Suzuki riders had a great day too, Cody Gibson won in the Pro-Am Unlimited Class; Michael Rakes took the Open B Class, Chase Cunningham captured the 4-Stroke A and the Junior 25+ classes, Jerry Huckabey won the 40+ division and Chad Lohr got first in the Vet 30+A.
