Dustin Nelson-2008 Quadcross Champion Ends Year with a First

 

 

 

Norco, CA. (December 1, 2008) –  Dustin Nelson, Yamaha Factory ATV racer and DRD ATV Brand Manager, clinched his second Quadcross Championship in convincing fashion with a dominating 1-1 finish; the victory and the title were won with one round still remaining on the schedule. With the pressure of the championship off his shoulders, Nelson looked for a new challenge/opportunity coming into Glen Helen in San Bernardino, Ca.  

Nelson approached Yamaha with the idea of racing their all-new 2009 YFZ450R in his final race of the season.  With limited seat time aboard the production YFZ450R, Nelson made a few adjustments, added a DRD exhaust system, a few accessories, and entered the Glen Helen round with the hopes of bringing Yamaha a win in the YFZ450R’s race debut.

Though ill and nursing a recently broken wrist, Dustin Nelson set the stage immediately, launching out of the gate on his DRD-backed YFZ450R, getting the holeshot and leading from start to finish, emblematic of the past season.  Nelson foreshowed the ‘09 race season for his competition; that two titles have not slowed his determination and that coupled with the first-ever race ready production ATV, the YFZ450R, he will be the odds-on favorite to 3-peat next year.
