Joel Hetrick Wins High
Point MX Takes Points Lead
::Continued::
Entering the second moto, Wienen still held a
one-point lead over Hetrick in the AMA Pro ATV
point standings and needed to hold him off in
order to maintain the top spot. Wienen’s good
start off the line shot him out to the early lead,
but Hetrick was in hot pursuit.

Yamaha's
Chad Wienen held the lead early on in
both motos with Joel Hetrick in chase

Hetrick stalked Wienen for several laps before
picking the right moment to make the winning pass
on Lap five. Once out front, Hetrick didn’t look
back, eventually taking a season-high sixth moto
win by 5.2 seconds over Wienen.

in both motos to take the win & sweep
both motos at High Point for the points
lead

The Moto 2 podium mirrored that of Moto 1, with
Wienen second and Thomas Brown in third. The battle
for the top five came down to the wire as Nicholas
Gennusa and Ronnie Higgerson both made it by Upperman
on the final lap to score fourth and fifth, respectively.

The overall podium was a repeat of the previous
round with Hetrick (1-1), Wienen (2-2) and Brown
(3-3) all scoring the same moto finishes. Despite
giving up two spots in the final moto, Upperman’s
4-6 scores secured fourth overall, while Gennusa’s
7-4 results rounded out the top-five.
