weather rolling in, defending champion Chad

Wienen grabbed the ATVRiders.com Fastest Qualifier
Award aboard his Wienen Motorsports SSi Walsh
Yamaha presented by Maxxis Tires & Team
Vollmer machine. Wienen secured the first
gate pick position before the rain rolled
in during the first qualifier of the morning.
"I knew the first practice was going
to be the most important in securing my qualifier
time because once the rain came in, the track
was going to be slick and times would be slower.
I was really happy to have that first gate
pick because when rain is a factor the start
is crucial," said Wienen.

back and had a twenty-five second gap on
the rest of the field when he took the checkers
and the Moto 1 win.
