Mesquite, Nevada - When the rain
moved in Saturday evening, it looked like Round
2 of the DWT World ATV Motocross Championship Series
was going to be a mud race, but fortunately, the
sun came out Sunday morning, and by 11AM the track
was in perfect condition for moto one with another
$2,000 in pursue money up for grabs for each round
of racing.
Yamaha’s Dustin Nelson grabbed the Moto
One Holeshot, but Baldwin Motorsports’ Josh
Upperman quickly made his way past Nelson to take
over the lead with Can-Am’s Chad Wienen
coming out in the third spot.

#94 Dustin Nelson edged out both #20 Josh
Upperman & #44 Chad Wienen for the Moto
One Holeshot |
By the third lap, Dustin Nelson encountered a throttle
issue, which forced him to pull over for a few seconds,
which allowed both Chad Wienen and Jeremie Warnia
the easy pass with Nelson coming back out in 4th
place.
Wienen challenged Upperman for the lead for most
of the race, but in the end, Upperman pulled away
to secure the Moto 1 win with a 10 second lead over
Wienen in the second spot, and Jeremie Warnia held
onto a third place finish ahead of Dustin Nelson.
