| Once
Again, Chad Wienen got off to a near last
place start, but he didn't let it deter
him as he charged his way up to a 4th place
finish to claim the final spot on the Podium |
Wienen had another bad start and fought to another
fourth-place finish. "I call it a salvage weekend
for me," said the series points leader. "My
jumps out of the gate were good, the first moto
I kind of wheelied out of the gate a little. I got
really lucky to not get hung up, I was locked in
with people both times, but we came apart. I had
to put my work in, it was tough with the hot conditions."
Now with just a five-point lead over Wimmer,
Wienen is prepared for the stretch run. "I'm
more than confident I can put this together,"
said Wienen. "If I start near Dustin, it
will come down to who wants it more, and I believe
that with my team behind me, I think I have the
upper hand, for starting where I did and coming
through like I did this weekend, I think it shows
I want it pretty bad."
Wimmer can hold his comeback from injury up as
proof of his desire, and expectations are high
for a dramatic championship battle between the
two riders over the final three rounds.

Can-Am's
John Natalie has issues in both Motos
after running in the Top 10, and in Moto
2, Natalie charged his way up to 5th place
with a trail of smoke behind him, but
unfortunately for Natalie, the smoke was
from leaking oil, which lead to an engine
failure while Natalie was going over a
jump, which caused him to wreck out of
the race

Lawson took fourth overall on the day, following
his runner-up ride in moto one with a ninth in
moto two. Upperman's 9-3 landed him in fifth.
Frenchman Jermie Warnia took fifth in moto two,
landing him in seventh overall behind Goodman.
Cody Miller was eighth on his Can-Am, followed
by Byrd's 8-8 scores, and Yamaha's Thomas Brown
rounded out the top ten.
