Daytona,
FL (3/8/2016) "Dominate”
is a word that is often thrown around wantonly in
the world of racing. There was nothing wanton about
how Chad Wienen performed in the Fly Racing ATV
Supercross at Dayona International Speedway, which
was also opening Round of the 2016 AMA ATV National
Championship presented by CST Tires for the Pro
racers only.

In fact, Wienen Motorsports/Yamaha’s Chad Wienen
proved he’s ready to earn is fifth consecutive
title by taking the ATVRiders.com fastest qualifier
prize, winning his heat and literally running
away with the main at the Daytona ATV SX. Goldspeed
Tire’s Jeffrey Rastrelli finished second, ahead
of Maxxis’ Thomas Brown, John Natalie Jr and David
Haagsma.
Under partly cloudy skies and with temperatures
in the 80s, the event was certain to entertain,
and it definitely did. After crashing in his heat
while leading, Baldwin Motorsports’ Natalie’s
eighth gate pick didn’t seem to matter as he snagged
the holeshot and set in to lead the first of the
fifteen-lap contest. Wienen, however, was not
going to be denied and he took the lead and ran
away from the field.

Racecraft's Chad Wienen made the early pass
on John Natalie jr to take over the lead
& quickly began building a lead on the
pack |
“The starts were key today,” explained Wienen.
“I got the holeshot in my heat, and I was second
in the main. I ran high around John and took off
from there. We had an awesome setup today. I can’t
say enough about how well we rode today.

In
the final laps of the Daytona ATVSX, Chad
Wienen just cruised around the track to
victory |
“I hit my lines cleanly and I was still pulling
away,” added Wienen. “I just felt like I was on
another level today. I was getting a little leery
about how smooth the track was early on, but it
really came around in the main. We’re full steam
ahead. We have a great group of people behind
us this year. We’re here to get the job done and
enjoy it afterwards.”
