2016 AMA ATV Motocross Round #10 Red Bud MX Buchanan, MI July 30, 2016

Maxxis’ Chad Wienen chose a smart and smooth approach to the weekend. After taking the win in the first moto, he fell just short to Hetrick at the start of the second moto and cruised in for second.

Maxxis' #1 Chad Wienen charged his way into the lead in Moto One to take the moto win

“I tried to ride a smooth and calculated race in the first moto,” said Wienen. “I was pushing Jeffrey for most of the early part of the race. I saw Joel make a mistake, and I just rode smooth to win. Joel and I were neck and neck at the start of the second moto and he just edged me out for the holeshot. For the first couple laps, I tried pushing him, but he was just on it, so I backed off and played it cool. This championship is just a great competition. It’s so hard to put two motos together with both of us riding so well and Jeffrey stepping it up, as well.”

Chad Wienen finished 2nd Overall, but he maintained his 22 point lead over Joel Hetrick heading into the final two rounds

JB Racing’s Jeffrey Rastrelli finished third in both motos. His second-consecutive and fourth overall podium places him third in points, 143 points behind Wienen.

“I rode hard in the first moto, took the lead and then Chad got around me,” said Rastrelli. “I pushed and didn’t let them get away. I think we’re showing the work we’re doing and the progress we’re making. In the second moto, I went out fifth and got to third pretty quickly. I was trying to put a dent in their lead, but those guys were really on it. It’s nice to get back-to-back podiums. We’ll keep plugging away and hopefully come out with a moto win at Loretta’s.”
