Suwanee, GA (8/15/2012) - Chad
Wienen has won the ATV Motocross National Championship
Series title, racking up enough points with his
third place overall finish at Round 10 to clinch
the championship.
Wienen, who was 3-4 in the weekend's two motos,
had taken six overall wins this year and accumulated
a total of 459 points. He was pleased with his
results for Round 10 and thrilled to have secured
the championship, especially in light of his recovery
from a broken back in 2011.
"I was able to find my lines after I cleared
some aggressive riding and was able to start working
my way toward the checkers. I really wanted to
find the front of the pack but ran out of time,"
he said about the weekend. "I am beyond-words
happy about finally securing my first championship.
We have worked so hard to rebuild after my injury
last year. I have dreamed about accomplishing
this dream for so long it still seems surreal.
I cannot begin to thank everyone who has stood
behind me and for all of the support I have received.
Without the help of all of my sponsors I never
would be where I am today!"
Maxxis sponsored riders Josh Creamer, Josh Upperman
and Thomas Brown took the fourth, fifth, and sixth-place
overall spots at Round 10. Upperman and Brown
finished fourth and fifth in Pro points standings
for the year. Creamer leads the 2012 Maxxis New
England ATV-MX series in points.
Cody Gibson ended the year with victories in
Pro Am Production and Pro Am Unlimited, securing
championships in both classes. Gibson earned 270
points overall in Pro Am Production and 255 in
Pro Am Unlimited.
Maxxis congratulates Chad Wienen and Cody Gibson
on their championships and thanks all of its riders
for their fine performances throughout the season.
