Brea, CA (8/13/2007) - The 12th and final
round of the ITP/ATVA GNC Championship Series rolled into
the beautiful Loretta Lynn's Dude Ranch in Hurricane Mills,
TN this weekend. Team Rockstar/MSR/Suzuki/Yoshimura/Pro
Taper's Chad Wienen used the break in the WPSA Championship
Series schedule to head down and do some extra-curricular
racing.
The first Moto saw Chad and defending ATVA champ Joe
Byrd dicing heavily for the lead through much of the
race. At one point Byrd's head pipe cracked and then
fell off thus robbing Joe's machine of power. From there
Chad motored off into the sunset and left the rest of
the pack far behind.
"I was pushing Joe pretty hard and was really
enjoying the race," Chad said after Moto one. "All
of a sudden his bike started to sound like a popcorn
machine and I knew he had issues with his pipe. From
there it was an easy ride."
At the start of Moto two, Chad put the pedal to the
metal on his Suzuki QuadRacer R450. He grabbed the holeshot
and with Joe close behind, Chad never looked back went
on to finish at the top of the podium.
"It was a pretty easy race really, I got a great
start and the bike just flew," Weinen said after
the race.
Just like teammate Dustin Wimmer at the last Unadilla
ATVA race, Wienen came to the race in his own trailer
without the team support rig. Ryan Cox, his mechanic,
flew in and prepped one of Chad's old race bikes from
the beginning of the year. "It was fun to be there.
The crowd was really cheering me on when I passed Joe
in the first Moto."
