The 2013 Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship,

the weather finally cleared for Saturday's Pro race.
The Bob "Smitty" Smith Memorial ATV National
showcased tight racing all afternoon in Danville,
Va., where series points leader and defending champion
Chad Wienen claimed his fourth consecutive overall
win of the season.

"I wish the weather was something we could
control but I'm just really glad we have our mud
set up dialed in and we have our machines working
really well. You never know what is going to happen
in the mud, but I'm always thrilled to come out
of a weekend that can go any which way on the box
and still holding onto the red plate," said
Wienen.

Two-time national champion Joe Byrd snagged the

Byrd Quad Riding School Dasa machine in front
of a raging field. "I knew the start was
going to be crucial and that I had to get a great
jump. My machine was set up well and was really
hooking up to pull me to top of the hill first,"
