Galena, IL (7/20/2017) - Over
the weekend, the AMA ATV MX Pro National Championship
series headed to Unadilla Valley Raceway in
New Berlin, NY for another round of racing.
Wienen Motorsports' Chad Wienen went 2-2 for
a second overall.
In moto 1, Wienen came out of the first turn
in third and had to fight to pass the rider
holding the second place position for a few
laps. Wienen was finally able ot move into
second but had a sizable gap between himself
and the rider in first and was unable to make
up any distance and took second in moto 1.
In moto 2, with a similar start, Wienen came
out of the first turn once again in third
making quick work, Wienen moved into second
place before the end of the first lap. Sights
set on the rider in first, Wienen maintained
a gap of about a second between him and the
rider in first but was unable to make any
advances.
"I really needed starts this weekend
and I they weren't there for me. With the
fast pace of the Unadilla track I was happy
with the 2-2 finish and my moto 2 ride maintaining
a close distance to the rider in first. With
a close championship points chase I lost the
series points leader position this weekend
but with two more rounds of racing left I'm
ready to look forward and keep digging to
get back the red plate." Said Wienen.
The series heads to Red Bud MX next on Saturday
July 29 for the next round of racing.
