Hetrick Racing’s Joel Hetrick had a solid day, going 1-3 and taking home second overall. The first moto Hetrick seized the SSI Decals holeshot award and quickly pulled a gap to claim the win. “The first moto my DASA motor pulled me out of the start and the Maxxis tires were gripping. I put some fast laps down in the beginning and pulled a little gap on Chad. I knew he was lying back with the championship on the line, but I just ran my race. I just wanted to go out there and put hard laps down and finish the season out strong,” stated Hetrick.

The second moto, Hetrick had some troubles that ruined his chance of the overall win, but he still managed to fight his way to the podium. “Second moto didn’t turn out how I wanted. I stalled in the corner and put a hard charge on to come back from around tenth to third. It’s not how I wanted to end the season, but I worked with what I had, and did what I needed to do,” explained Hetrick.

It’s definitely monumental for me. It’s awesome to have all these great sponsors behind me. Jay Gobel with Impact Solution had my shocks dialed all season. Elka suspension has been great from the start. Maxxis tires hooked up for that holeshot and the DASA motor pulled me out of that gate. I want to be really strong for next year. I just have to put a lot of work in and work harder than everyone else,” said Hetrick.

Rounding out the Pro podium in third was Yamaha rider Thomas Brown. Brown went 3-2 for a consistent end to his season. “First moto we came out of the start rough, and I had to keep picking people off one lap at a time and made my way to third. Second moto I was looking to do better. I came out of the start decent and was sitting good on lap two. I could see the lead, it wasn’t far in front of me. I went to pass and a berm grabbed me and I just stopped. I had to regroup and come back through and ended up getting back to second. It was a good weekend with third overall and third on the championship,” explained Brown.
