Josh Upperman claimed the Moto One Holeshot
with Chad Wienen applying the pressure |
The opening round attracted a 11 Pro ATV racers
from around the country with Baldwin’s Josh
Upperman making the long trip from Ohio to compete
in the first weekend of racing, and he immediately
made his presence known by grabbing the moto one
holeshot. Upperman would hold the lead for a while
before Chad Wienen would make the pass for the
lead.
With a 25 minute moto plus 2 laps, endurance
was key, and “Wide Open” Wienen never
let off as he ran away with the easy moto one
win. Upperman would hold onto the 2nd spot, but
he was feeling the pressure from Jeremie Warnia
for entire moto, but Warnia was unable to make
the pass and settled for the third spot, and rounding
out the top five was MCR’s Beau Baron &
Josh Row.
United Kingdom’s Mark Watson was back again
to test his skills in the USA, and he finished
6th place in moto one on his KTM ride.

Frederick & Robbie Mitchell lock wheels
in Moto One |
Can-Am’s Josh Frederick & Kawasaki’s
Robbie Mitchell locked wheels when Robbie Mitchell
rode up over Frederick’s axle, which put
the pair a lap down in moto one.
Unfortunately for Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson,
he wasn’t able to get off the starting gate
after an electrical issue kept him from getting
his quad to start, which left him sidelined for
the entire moto.
