Natalie knew that with the wet track conditions
that getting out front and finding a comfortable
lead were in important and that is just what he
did as pulled a five second gap between himself
and the rest of the field as he started into the
second lap of the moto. Natalie went on to capture
the first checkers of the day taking the moto
1 win.
"I was able to get out front and really
ride my own race out there. I knew the start was
going to be the most important part of the race
and really focused on coming out of that first
turn at the front. My team has worked hard all
season long on getting my machine to where it
needed to be to be out front and I couldn't thank
them enough for all the hard work everyone has
put into it," said Natalie.

Recently crowned 2013 champion Chad Wienen came
out of the first turn in second and after hitting
some mud, lost control of the bike in the first
lap and fell back into third. The Wienen Motorsports
SSi Walsh Yamaha presented by Maxxis Tires &
Team Vollmer rider moved back into second before
the end of the first lap and kept the position
until the end of moto 1. Brown came out of the
first turn inside the top five, eventually moving
into second on the opening lap as a result of
Wienen's misfortune. However, Brown experienced
a crash at the end of the first lap, where he
lost a few positions. Despite a shake up, Brown
kept his momentum to finish third in the first
moto.

2013
ATV Motocross Champion, Chad Wienen, finished
second in Moto One

"The start was key in moto 1 and although
I really wanted to come off the track with the
win I wasn't able to make that happen. We had
our machines really working well despite the wet
track conditions, our Maxxis tires were really
hooking up and were able to help me get that second
place finish," said Wienen.
