Kemp,

his points lead by dominating round two of the 2016
Pro X ATV Motocross National Championship. Underground
MX Park hosted the racing in Kemp, TX. Wienen’s
1-1 moto finishes secured him first place in front
of Maxxis / ELKA’s Joel Hetrick in second, and Baldwin’s

It started out as a beautiful day with overcast
skies, and great track conditions for moto one,
which Wienen took full advantage of by launching
his Yamaha out of the gate to claim the holeshot
by edging out Natalie Jr. Wienen never looked
back, clinching the first moto victory with a
nearly eight second gap to second place. “It was
a great start to the weekend and everything is
working out good. The track is really challenging
right now it has a lot of bumps and a lot of soft
spots so you have to be smooth and be smart,”
stated Wienen after his moto one win.

As all racers know, everything can change in
an instant, and that’s exactly what happened for
the second moto of the day when the skies unexpectedly
opened up 30 minutes prior to the second moto,
saturating the track. A few minutes before the
gate drop the rain paused, catching a few riders
off guard, thinking it was over. Unfortunately,
it was just a false sense of hope, and after the
parade lap the skies opened up once more. Wienen
proved he is a force to be reckoned with on any
type of track conditions by dominating the second
moto much like he did the first.

“I really wanted that holeshot, to stay clean,”
said Wienen, and that’s exactly what he did. With
a clear track in front of him Wienen cruised his
Yamaha to the top spot on the podium with his
third straight moto finish of the season. “I just
wanted to put in some good clean laps and not
make any mistakes. I felt really in tune with
the machine,” explained Wienen.

Wienen extended his points lead to 17 over the
second place of John Natalie, Jr. heading into
the third round. “It has been such a solid package
we put together this year. It is surreal today
how smoothly everything went. My riding was spot
on and I’m just really happy with the team and
how everyone worked together. My mechanic, Nate
is great. He had some big shoes to fill, but we
have been friends for a while now and work together
really well. I am really happy to have him on
board,” stated Wienen.
