AMA ATV Motocross Nationals Round #6 - High Point MX Mt Morris, PA June 16, 2012

After a first corner tangle-up in Moto 1, Wienen was on a mission in the second moto as he pushed past both Motoworks/Can-Am teammates and took the lead for the remainder of Moto 2. It wasn’t long before Natalie reclaimed second place from Hetrick, and it was downhill from there for the young gun as Brown cleared the triple over Hetrick’s double to take over third place. Upperman put the moves on Hetrick soon after, leaving Hetrick back in fifth for the rest of the race.

Wienen edged out Natalie for the Moto 2 victory, but it was Natalie who took home the overall win with a 1-2 score for the day, Wienen going 3-1 to take home second.

“I knew I would have a chance at the overall today if I could put myself out front in the second moto and that’s what we did,” Wienen said. “Championships are won on your worst days and I truly believe that I put in my best effort today despite the bad luck we had in the first moto.”

Thomas Brown got his first podium finish of the 2012, taking home third overall with a 2-3 score. Upperman took home fourth overall, switching off 5-4 with Hetrick, who went 4-5 for the day.

“It feels good to finally get on the podium this year,” Brown said. “Everything is really coming together and I can’t thank my sponsors enough for sticking by me for so long. I’m looking forward to staying on the podium for the rest of the year!”

Michigan’s Harold Goodman (HON) secured a season-best sixth overall, while Ohio’s Adam Clark (HON) came in seventh. Nick DeNoble (HON) salvaged an eighth overall after taking a hard hit to the ground in the second qualifying session. Rookie Mark Madl (HON) grabbed ninth overall and Jesse Barnes (YAM) rounded out the top ten.
