The last time we caught up with Chad Wienen for an interview and photo shoot at his place in Galena IL, our time with the number 44 racer was cut short when Chad overshot a huge jump, which resulted in a broken axle and Chad taking a pretty hard hit. Luckily, Chad was not hurt but it did put a damper on things.

This season has been somewhat of a roller coaster ride for Chad Wienen as he kicked off the 2009 AMA Pro ATV Motocross Championship series with three DNFs in four Motos at the first two rounds of racing, but he didn’t let it keep him down. Chad rebounded at Birch Creek’s round 3 with a podium finish, and he went on to podium six straight races and amazingly took over the points lead by Unadilla’s round 7.

Unfortunately, for Chad, his points lead would only last 2 rounds as he suffered a DNF at Pleasure Valley’s round 9, which dropped him out of the points lead, and by the end of the season, he finished in third place overall just 3 points behind Joe Byrd with Dustin Wimmer claiming his 2nd straight championship.

While following the motocross racing action to Red Bud this summer we stopped by Chad Wienen’s private track for a second chance of capturing Chad Wienen tearing up his home track along with his good friend and fellow pro ATV racer, Thomas Brown for an action packed video.

More recently, we had the chance to again visit with Chad Wienen at the final round of the WORCS Series with his new Can-Am / Motowork’s Team for 2010, and here is the scoop.

#44 Chad Wienen made the switch to Kawasaki at the end of 2008 & his first photoshot on the KFX450R was at Kawasaki ATV race team Glamis Sand Dunes ride weekend
ATVriders.com: Chad, you had a full season with Kawasaki for 2009, can you tell us a little bit about how that experience was?
Chad Wienen: It was a really great experience riding for Kawasaki. It was more like a family atmosphere where everyone gets along off the track and then goes racing on the weekends.

ATVriders.com: You and Josh Creamer are friends both on and off the track as well, so it must be pretty cool to be riding with him all season?
Chad Wienen: Yeah, it was really almost like a dream team. Josh and I get along really good and it’s good to be out there and be able to be close with your teammate and have a good relationship with them. Josh and I go out there and we pushed each other and that helped both of us to be better.
