Millville,
MN (6/28/2015) –
The 2015 Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship,
sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing (ATVMX), hit the home
stretch on Saturday with its visit to legendary
Spring Creek MX Park kicking off stops at four of
the most iconic tracks on the planet to wrap up
the season. Faced with some of the most challenging
track conditions of the season, reigning three-time
AMA Pro ATV Champion Chad Wienen rose to the occasion
with a dominant 1-1 performance that gave the Wienen
Motorsports / Maxxis / SSi Decals / Walsh Race Craft
Yamaha rider his fourth overall victory of the season
and extended his lead in the championship.

Spring Creek has rose to notoriety by virtue
of its rough and physically demanding layout,
with such notorious obstacles as the sand whoops,
“Holy Schmit” jump and “Mount Martin.” These lap-after-lap
challenges took their toll on the entire AMA Pro
ATV field and ended up claiming championship contender
Joel Hetrick with a big crash in practice that
left the Hetrick Racing / Corrosion Specialties
rider battered and bruised for the motos.

#88 Joel
Hetrick went down during the first practice,
which left him with a deep bruise to his
leg and hurt his shoulder
|
A tremendous crowd was on hand to cheer on the
world’s fastest ATV riders, and they saw Wienen
make the first statement of the afternoon by breaking
Hetrick’s qualifying dominance in claiming his
first ATVRiders.com Fastest Qualifier Award. Prior
to Saturday, Hetrick had earned the award at all
six rounds of the ATVMX season.

#1 Chad
Wienen claimed the ATVriders.com Fastest
Qualifier Award at Spring Creek, which
was his first of the season
|
When the gate dropped on Moto 1, Hetrick fought
through the effects of his practice crash to earn
the SSi Decals Holeshot Award and lead the field
through the first few corners. However, Hetrick’s
lead wouldn’t last long as Wienen took advantage
of a strong start of his own to move into the
first on the opening lap and quickly establish
a multiple second lead.

by just over 14 seconds.
