AMA ATV Motocross Redbud Preview

Thursday, July 30, 2009
Dustin Wimmer
After an injury earlier in the season Dustin Wimmer has recovered from the missed and a poor finish on his return race to regain the championship points lead.
Rockstar/Makita Suzuki's Dustin Wimmer appeared to have finally fully recovered from his midseason injury as he catapulted back into the points lead with just two rounds of the 2009 ITP/Moose Racing AMA ATV Motocross Championship left to go. In dramatic fashion, Wimmer stole first overall in the final lap at Pleasure Valley while previous AMA Pro ATVMX Championship Points leader Chad Wienen had a miserable day and ended up handing the points lead back to Wimmer.

Pleasure Valley saw some of the closest racing yet to be seen, and with Wimmer taking the lead almost 30 points ahead, and Weinen's loss at Pleasure Valley, second place has boiled down to three separate riders.Wienen, Honda's Joe Byrd and Doug Gust are embroiled in a fight to take a place behind or against Wimmer. Wienen and Byrd are separated by only two points and Gust 12 points behind Byrd. With Wimmer's injury and fast recovery, and Wienen's virtual worst to best run in the points standings, this championship could still be left to anyone.

2009 AMA ATV Motocross Standings
ATV MX Pro - After 9 of 11 Rounds
A state with an affinity for off-road recreational vehicle use, RedBud owns the bragging rights to the highest attended U.S. motocross race year after year. Just the right soil mix, lots of passing and the biggest jump on the circuit (LaRocco's Leap), the track provides for some exciting motocross racing. It's definitely a top motocross destination in a region that loves its motorsports.

The weekend also includes a full slate of amateur racing, including classes for riders as young as four-years-old, as well as veteran divisions for riders over the age of 50. Practice, qualifying and racing will take place on Saturday, with final amateur and Pro moto taking place on Sunday.

The track is 5 miles north of US 12 on Redbud Trail in Buchanan, Michigan.
