With a victory for defending champ Dustin Wimmer and a third-place finish for Josh Creamer, Maxxis owned the podium at the ATV Motocross Championship opener, held March 27-28 in Pell City, Alabama.
The tires of choice for Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki racers Wimmer and Creamer were yellow-label Razr MX rears paired with Razr Cross fronts. Wimmer, who is vying for his third straight series title, sealed his win by taking first place in both motos. Creamer took the holeshot in both motos, finishing sixth and second for third overall.
Wimmer said the tires performed well in the tough conditions and their performance was consistent throughout: "The track was hard as concrete, and I had so much traction, I was wheelying out of every turn."
Jeremy Lawson and Patrick Brown, who like Wimmer and Creamer rode Razrs for both races, took sixth and ninth place overall respectively.
Maxxis congratulates Dustin Wimmer on his first victory of the season and thanks all of its riders for their outstanding performances.
