Kemp,
TX (4/19/2015) –
Reigning three-time AMA Pro ATV Champion, and current
points leader, Chad Wienen picked up where he left
off a month ago at the first round of 2015, claiming
his second-straight overall victory on Saturday
at the Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship,
sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing (ATVMX), debut from
Underground MX Park in Texas. Wienen faced stiff
competition aboard his Wienen Motorsports/Maxxis/SSi
Decals/Walsh Race Craft Yamaha at the inaugural
Texas ATV National, but ultimately emerged victorious
following consistent 3-1 moto finishes.

After rain hit the region on Friday night it
looked as though the riders would be faced with
an added challenge on Saturday, but the wet weather
had little to no impact on the conditions when
the riders hit the track in the morning for qualifying.
Hetrick Racing/Corrosion Specialties/Brownell
Inc. Honda’s Joel Hetrick was on the gas early
and made the first statement of the day by taking
his second ATVRiders.com Top Qualifier Award of
the season.

When the gate dropped on Moto 1, to no ones surprise
it was Motosport.com/Maxxis/FLY Racing Honda’s
John Natalie, one of the best starters in ATVMX
history, who led the riders into the first turn,
collecting SSi Decals Holeshot Award. The veteran
opened the race looking strong through the opening
laps, but Hetrick soon started to apply pressure.
Hetrick was relentless in his pursuit of the lead
and made an aggressive pass on Natalie stick.
Hetrick went on to lead the remaining laps to
take his second moto win of the season, but Natalie
kept him honest all the way through to the finish.

Wienen wasn’t far behind in third, but also
wasn’t a major factor in the battle for the win
after having to fight his way through the field.
Texas native and Maxxis Yamaha, powered by Moto-Xperts,
rider Thomas Brown finished fourth, with JB Racing
Can-Am’s Jeffrey Rastrelli rounding out the top
five. After the moto concluded, Hetrick discovered
he had run his engine to its limit en route to
the win and made a complete engine change in his
search of the overall win in the final moto.
