Suwanee, GA (7/16/2013) - Chad Wienen and Beau Baron continue to dominate the Pro ranks of their
respective series, with big wins for both riders over the weekend, while
Brad Riley won the latest round of the Extreme Dirt Track Nationals. Wienen
took his sixth straight victory in the ATV Motocross National
Championships, and Baron won a fifth consecutive victory at Round 6 of
WORCS. Round 8 of ATV MX was held July 12 in New Berlin, New York. Round 6
of WORCS ATV was held July 13-14 in Pala, California, and Round 5 of the
EDT Nationals was held July 13 in Busco Beach, North Carolina.

Beau Baron earned his fifth win of the season at Pala Raceway on his Honda 450R ATV |
Wienen, whose win was his seventh overall for the season, gained the lead
in the opening lap of the first moto and held it through the finish line.
In the second moto, he was second early on in the race and held that
position as well, going 1-2 to take the overall victory. The start was
critical this weekend, and my Razr's hooked up great off the line to give
me two second place starts, said Wienen. The conditions were a little
rocky and hooked up all day. The cross fronts worked great together with my
Razr MX rears to provide enough traction when needed and break loose when I
wanted them to.
At Unadilla flats are very common, but not with a Maxxis
mounted up! Wienen's teammate Thomas Brown also did well, going 5-4
for fourth place overall. Maxxis' sponsored rider Josh Upperman got the
holeshot in the first moto and was 6-5 for fifth overall. Upperman and
Brown spent much of the first moto in a running battle for fifth, trading
places throughout the race. Nick Denoble also did well, going 7-6 for sixth
place. Wienen and Brown are first and second in points for the series.
Baron won the lead in the sixth lap of the WORCS race, after a mid-pack
start and a heated battle with another rider. He was joined on the podium
by teammate David Haagsma, who took second place. The two riders are also
first and second in the series' points race.
Other guys had to change
tires because the rocks were just wearing tires out. It was so rocky up on
the top, with jagged and round rocks, just beating up wheels and tires. But
the [Razr] XC's held up awesome! I had no issues, said Baron.
A Maxxis rider also made the podium in the Side x Side Pro Production class
when Ryan Piplic took second place. Piplic is second in the class points
race, behind Baron, who leads in points for Side x Side but suffered a
mechanical DNF in the class at Round 6. David Haagsma won the SxS
Production 700 race at Pala.
Riley, who is third in EDT Nationals' Pro points, won both the Pro and
Pro-Am Unlimited races, and took third place in the Pro Am event. The
track was a little one-lined, but the tires worked really good. Everyone
was burning tires up, but ours were holding up really well and just hooking
up. All around, I had the hook-up with the Razr TT's, Riley said.
Maxxis riders Daryl Rath and Kirby Cooke also made the Round 5 Pro top ten,
with Rath in sixth place and Cooke in tenth. Cooke also took second place
in the Pro Am Unlimited class, with Rath in eighth place.
Maxxis congratulates Chad Wienen, Beau Baron and Brad Riley on their
victories and thanks all of its riders for their fine performances.
