World ATV Motocross Championship Round 1 - Mesquite MX December 12, 2009 Photos By: Enrico Pavia

Moto two belonged to DWT’s Chad Wienen as he grabbed the Holeshot and lead from start to finish to sweep both motos for the overall win at round 1, but Jeremie Warnia challenged Wienen for the lead for nearly half the race before Wienen finally pulled away from Warnia.

Warnia would hold on to claim the second spot ahead of Josh Upperman, and Dustin Nelson claimed the 4th spot. Amazingly, Beau Baron rounding out the top five even after crashing on the start, when Baron and Dillon Zimmerman made contact, which sent the pair tumbling, but they both jumped up and resumed the race without injury.

Josh Frederick suffered a DNF when his engine let go near the end of the second moto, which ended a day of bad luck for the hometown favorite, who hopefully will rebound on Sunday for Round 2 with some better luck because it couldn’t get much worse.

Also, Mark Watson bent his A-arm, so he also suffered a DNF, so hopefully he can get everything repaired in time for Sunday’s round two motos.

With Round 1 wrapped up on Saturday, racing with continue on Sunday for Round 2, but the conditions won’t be nearly as ideal with heavy rain moving in Saturday evening and overnight, which will make for some muddy motos on Sunday, which could really mix-up the results for round two.

Check back Sunday night for complete results and race overview from Round 2.
