Middleboro, MA – Kawasaki
Monster Energy’s Joe Haavisto grabbed the
Open Pro ATV win at round five of the New England
ATV Motocross series while Michael Pilotte edged
out the competition to take the Open Pro-am ATV
win.
Heavy fog and showers threatened to put a damper
on the racing action for round five, which was
hosted at Capeway Rovers Motocross, but the
fog began to burn off giving way to blue skies
and warm temperatures.

place start to claim the lead away from
#8 Michael Pilotte to claim the Moto One

Favorable track conditions helped Joe Haavisto
get a good start and make his way to an early
lead in the first Pro moto. Once Haavisto was
in the lead, he began to pull away, crossing
the finish line with a good sized lead ahead
of the rest of the pack.
In moto two, Haavisto grabbed the holeshot
and was leading for a couple of laps. “I
got the holeshot and then I ended up going to
wide in a corner and a couple of guys got around
me, but I was able to work back up and retake
the lead,” Haavisto explained. Haavisto
would then hold his lead all the way to the
checkered flag to take the moto win and the
Pro overall win.
