GUST AND R450 DOMINATE AT BLUEGRASS
 Team
Rockstar/ MSR/Suzuki/ Yoshimura/ Pro Taper's veteran Doug
Gust took the Bluegrass ATV National with a 2-2 win on Sunday
as team mate Dustin Wimmer won the first moto and ended the
day in the third position.
Gust placed second at the previous race in Pell City Alabama,
but turned the tables and finished up on top. Wimmer still
enjoys a commanding points lead in the series championship
which has seen Suzuki QuadRacers dominate.
Gust felt good to notch this overall win: "I'm 41 years
old and know that I can still do this. I'm getting great support
from my team and my Suzuki QuadRacer R450 keeps pulling me
to the front."
Rain and mud proved to be a challenge for all the racers
in the second moto, adding another challenging element to
the already difficult track at Ballance Moto X. "Doug
has more experience in this kind of condition and it showed
today," Team Manager Kory Ellis said. "We're all
really proud to see him back up on top."
Chad Wienen looked like he was going to dominate the weekend
by qualifying the fastest on Saturday but uneven moto scores
again due to the muddy conditions netted him11th place overall.
The team is still holding the top three spots in the points
race with a commanding lead by Wimmer with 134 points; Gust
with 113 and Wienen with 89.
In the amateur classes, Suzuki took many of the top honours
with Cody Gibson taking first in both the Pro Am Production
and Unlimited classes and Michael Brewster winning the 450A
class.
The ITP Tires/Moose Racing AMA/ATVA Pro ATV Championship
Series continues on April 26-27 in Danville, Va.
