Brea, Calif. – April 2, 2010 – In addition to Rockstar Makita Suzuki's big win by Dustin Wimmer and third place podium of Josh Creamer, there were two other Suzuki QuadRacer R450s at the Pro gate at this year’s FMF ATV Spring National. #16 Jeremy Lawson had an excellent showing finishing 6th overall and Cody Grant who finished 15th.
Suzuki ATV amateur racers made a huge splash taking a total of 19 podiums in a variety of classes, ranging from the 90cc production to the Pro-Am production class. These riders pitted their Suzuki machines against the best the competition had to offer, and came away with seven overall victories, six runner-up positions, and six third place finishes. Results like these speak volumes about Suzuki’s dedication to providing the best ATV racing machines in the world.
The two-day FMF ATV Spring Classic took place at the famous Millcreek Raceway in Pell City, Alabama, and Suzuki riders from all over the country came to participate. These amateur competitors raced everything from the lightweight QuadSport 90 to the heavy-hitting QuadRacer R450, and many piloted their Suzuki machines to great success, demonstrating once again that champions choose Suzuki.
