Joel Hetrick was able to hold off Chad
Wienen on the start to grab the Moto 2
Holeshot

“I pulled two holeshots, and that helped in both
motos,” said Hetrick. “It would have helped a
lot more in the first moto, hadn’t I taken a little
dirt nap. It was a really good weekend, but I’m
pretty bummed out about that first moto because
we could have gained a couple of points. I thought
the track was going to be really tough on me,
but I was wrong. I rode smooth. I was just on
my game this weekend.”

Wienen retains the championship lead ahead of
Hetrick with the gap of 22 points unchanged.
“We’ve been at 22 points for the last six rounds
now,” said Hetrick. “It’s tough to deal with and
Daytona really put a hurting on my points. He
has really good motos and so do I. We’re two of
the fastest guys on ATVs and we go back and forth
every weekend. It’s tough to beat him and I’m
sure he feels the same about me. Anything can
happen with this championship battle. I’m just
taking it moto by moto.”
