The weather was spectacular and the track looked
even better, making for a perfect day of Pro ATV
motocross racing. Spring Creek is known for its
big air jumps and rough, sandy whoop section,
which has always worked in Wienen’s favor. Wienen
has never lost a race at Spring Creek as long
as it has been on the schedule.

One, but he was not able to close the
gap on Joel Hetrick out front

“The first moto I hooked up a little hard off
the start and popped a little wheelie. I had to
battle with the riders in front me. I worked my
way through and had to settle for second,” stated
Wienen.
Things went better in moto two, where Wienen
ripped the holeshot and never looked back, taking
the moto and overall win. “We got the holeshot
and were clicking off great lines all moto. We
were killing that roller section in the back,
that is my favorite part of the track here. It
is so technical and tough. Joel Hetrick rode a
great race, he was pushing me along in the beginning
but I dug deep today,” explained Wienen.

We know when to go and when to tone it down,”
said Wienen.

“Second moto was pretty rough. I just battled
with the roller section. I did what I could and
played it safe today. Wienen rode awesome. He

section. I tried to pick it up on the other side
but I just could not do it today,” said Hetrick.
