The 2017 AMA ATV Motocross National Championship

Pro Am was once again the class to watch. Fans

to the track. Westley Wolfe was able to defeat
the previously unbeatable Parker Wewerka and take
the overall win with 1-2 moto finishes. Wolfe

a solid second place finish in moto two in order
to claim the top spot on the podium.
Second place overall was Parker Wewerka, who
experiences some issues in the first moto. Wewerka
had his work cut out for him after coming around
in 15th place on the first lap, but by the end
of the moto Wewerka worked his way all the way
up to seventh place. In moto two, Wewerka quickly
moved into the lead and ran away with the moto
win by an incredible 28 seconds to salvage second
place overall, and maintain the points lead.
David Solecki out of Ontario rode his Honda to
third place overall with 4-4 moto finishes in
Pro Am. This was Solecki’s first Pro Am podium
