New Berlin,
PA (7/14/2013) – Unadilla Raceway, Home of Horsepower, produced a day of tight and exciting racing as it hosted Round 8 of the 2013 Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship Series, sanctioned by AMA. Defending Champion, Chad Wienen secured his sixth consecutive overall win as Josh Creamer and John Natalie returned to the podium in New York.
"I'm so thankful for the season I've been having so far it's been a lot of hard work and dedication. Holding onto the red points lead plate at the end of each race weekend is what keeps me motivated as we wind down on the season," said Wienen.
Corrosion Hetrick Racing's Joel Hetrick led the field as he grabbed the ATVRiders.com Fastest Qualifier Award during morning practices. Practice portrayed what the day of racing would bring, as the six top qualifying racers put in practice times all within a second.
As the gate dropped for moto 1 it was Josh Upperman who came out of the first turn and took the SSi Decals Holeshot award aboard his Baldwin PEP Upperman Racing machine.

"I'm really happy I was able to grab the holeshot in moto 1. Coming into Unadilla you know the start is always really important and really focused on that gate drop," said Upperman.
Current points leader Chad Wienen got off to a great start in moto 1 coming out of the first turn right behind Upperman. Sitting in second,it wasn't long before he put his Wienen Motorsports SSi Walsh Yamaha presented by Maxxis Tires & Team Vollmer machine out front leading the field before the end of the first lap. By the second lap, Wienen put a two second gap between himself and the rest of the field and maintained that distance until he took the first checkers of the day in New York.

"I am really happy on my moto 1 win. Unadilla's a really tough track on the rider and their machine, I knew I had to get out front quickly and ride my own race. We had our bike set up perfectly and was really hooking up well on the fast track," said Wienen
