Galena, IL (3/17/2017) - Bike
week has started in Daytona Beach, FL and
Tuesday March 14, the ATV SX presented by
Fly Racing kicked off the start of the 2017
season for the AMA ATV Pro National series.
Wienen Motorsports' Chad Wienen stood at the
top of the podium at the end of the day for
the second year in a row.
Wienen started the day by grabbing the ATVRiders.com
Fastest Qualifier award. "The day started
off a little wet from the rains we received
on Monday. We didn't participate in the first
time qualifying session and the second one
had much better conditions to go grab the
top qualifying spot later on in the session
on my Wienen Motorsports Yamaha."

Wienen was placed into the second heat of
the day. Not getting the best of starts, Wienen
came out of the first turn just outside of

to charge hard on the field and was able to
move up into the third place position before
the end of the heat race.
When the first official gate dropped for the
ATV MX Pro season Wienen got off to a much
better start coming out of the first turn
in forth. Wienen moved into the second place
position before the end of the second lap.
With eight laps to go, Wienen moved into the

"In the first heat I didn't nail the
start and came out of the top five and ended
up third. In the main I made some adjustments
and was able to come out in forth made some
quick passes for third and then into second.
I was dialing in some of my lines and applying
pressure to the leader. About half way I was
able to take over the lead with the leader
made a mistake. I was able to ride on to the
victory on a rutted, rough track that you
had to be on your toes all day long. I was
able to ride 18 Laps mistake free and that
made the difference at the end of the day.
Thank you to my team and supporters who back
us."
The season will continue on April 1 at Underground
MX in Kemp, Texas for the second round of
racing of the 2017 season.
