Galena, IL (7/6/2016) - This
past weekend the AMA ATV MX Pro National Championship
series held it's racing at Spring Creek MX
in Millville, Minn. for another round of racing
where the top racers once again split motos
but it was Wienen Motorsports' Chad Wienen
who came home with the 2-1 Finish for first
overall.

Chad Wienen 2-1 for the overall
win at Spring Creek MX |
In moto 1, Wienen had a good jump out of
the gate but popped a wheelie early and came
out of the first turn in the eighth place
position. Making some quick passes as he came
through the whoop section, Wienen found himself
up to fourth by the end of the first lap.
Wienen continued to progress and made a pass
into third on lap two. With a four second
gap between him and the rider in second, Wienen
was bound and determined to find that second
place position and at halfway through the
race made the pass. With over an eight second
gap between himself and the rider in first,
Wienen continued to gap himself from the third
place rider but was unable to make up any
ground on the first place position and came
across the checkers in second for moto 1.

spot in Moto One |
It was a different story as the gate dropped
for moto 2, as Wienen grabbed the second holeshot
of the day and gained another point on the
SSi Decals Holeshot Championship points race.
Wienen put his head down and started off strong
putting down the fastest laps of the day in
the first few laps and began to create a comfortable
lead for himself by the end of the third lap.
Wienen continued on and not only took the
moto 2 win but the overall win on the day
as well.

for the Championship points chase but Wienen

in two weeks for the next round of racing.
The series will return in two weeks at Unadilla
