Wienen enjoyed a perfect day at RedBud aboard his Wienen Motorsports/SSi Decals/Walsh Yamaha, putting forth a dominant 1-1 outing en route to victory at the Rocky Mountain ATV/MC RedBud ATV National, his sixth of the season.

Another balmy afternoon graced the series’ annual visit to Michigan, where Wienen’s championship quest began with him earning the ATVRiders.com Top Qualifier Award for the fifth time in eight rounds. As expected, the RedBud track gradually got rougher as the afternoon went on, providing a true challenge for the ATVMX elite.

Chad Wienen also claimed his 5th ATVriders.com Fastest Qualifier Award, which wrapped up the championship points with Wienen earning $1,000

In the opening moto, Motosport.com/RRR/Ford/DWT/Walsh Honda’s John Natalie put himself in a familiar spot by capturing the SSi Decals Holeshot Award with Wienen in tow. Natalie would go on to lead the first lap, but Wienen put the pressure on quickly and made his move to the front of the field the following lap.

With a clear track ahead of him, Wienen set sail and left Natalie in the clutches of a hard-charging Joel Hetrick aboard his JB Racing/DWT/Mtn. Dew Live Wire Can-Am. On Lap 3, Hetrick found some momentum coming out of the final corner, allowing him to slingshot past Natalie and take over second. From there, the top three remained status quo, with Wienen maintaining a three-second margin over Hetrick.
