AMA ATV Motocross Round #7 Spring Creek MX Millville, MN June 27, 2015

Hetrick held on to an assertive second-place finish, while JB Racing/Can-Am/Liquid Wrench's Jeffrey Rastrelli took advantage of a fourth-place start to move past Root River Racing’s Josh Upperman into third on Lap 1 and secure the final podium spot. Maxxis Yamaha, powered by Moto-Xperts, rider Thomas Brown finished fourth, followed by Eleven18 Powersports Honda’s Tyler Hamrick in fifth.

Liquid Wrench / Gunk's Jeffrey Rastrelli claimed a third place finish in Moto One

Hetrick showcased his toughness and resiliency yet again in Moto 2, jumping out to another SSi Decals Holeshot Award for a sweep of the day. As was the case in the first moto, Hetrick’s early lead was short lived as Wienen enjoyed another great start as well and got around Hetrick on the opening lap.

#88 Joel Hetrick claimed yet another SSi Decals Holeshot Award point, which he has nearly wrapped up with only six motos remaining

Hetrick again did his best to keep Wienen in sight, but the Yamaha rider was on a mission and marched his way to another dominant moto win by over 15 seconds. Hetrick easily claimed second again, while Rastrelli solidly earned another podium result in third. Brown finished fourth, with Upperman fifth.

Once again, #1 Chad Wienen charged his way past Joel Hetrick to take over the lead, which he extended to over 15 seconds by the checkered flag for the Spring Creek Pro Moto sweep to extend his points lead to 21 points over Joel Hetrick heading in to the final stretch of the season

Despite having four overall wins to his credit this season, Wienen’s 1-1 moto sweep was his first this year. Hetrick overcame the effects of his crash to finish strongly in the runner-up spot (2-2), while Rastrelli made his anticipated return to the podium in third (3-3).

Wienen’s dominant day moved him to a 21-point lead over Hetrick in the AMA Pro ATV standings with three rounds remaining. Brown, who finished fourth (4-4), sits 40 points out of the lead in third, with Upperman fourth (-120) and Nick Gennusa fifth (-132).

The 2015 Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship will continues in two weeks, with Round 8 from Unadilla in New Berlin, New York, on July 11.
