- When the Can-Am crew rode into Unadilla for
Round 9 of the AMA ATV Motocross Championship,
Presented by DWT, they were minus their pointsleading
pro rider: Chad Weinen. After Round 8, Weinen
broke his back during practice and had to drop
out of the series. Weinen’s closest competitor
and teammate, John Natalie, has now become the
points leader, but he’s riding injured after
he broke his right arm saving his horses from
a burning barn. Nipping at Natalie’s heels
is Josh (“Holeshot”) Upperman, Baldwin
Racing, who is just one point behind Natalie.
Then throw into the mix rookie senation and spoiler,
Joel Hetrick, who’s been tearing it up the
last few races -- and climbing the podium stairs,
-- on-board his dad-tuned Honda.
The battle is set for racing action and behind-the-scenes
drama like never before, as “ATV-24/7”
counts down the last three races in the ATVMX
series.
