Millville,
MN – The anticipated
return of the Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National
Championship, sanctioned by AMA (ATVMX), to Spring
Creek MX Park was a spotlight event for 2014 with
an exciting festival-like atmosphere surrounding
the sixth round of the season. In the end, the
same man who stood atop the podium at the previous
visit to Millville in 2011 walked away with the
overall victory as Wienen Motorsports/SSi Decals/Walsh
Yamaha's Chad Wienen won his fourth race of the
championship to extend his AMA Pro ATV points
lead at the Mtn. Dew Spring Creek ATV National.

Despite the threat of thunderstorms, conditions
were great for racing and following practice for
the AMA Pro ATV Class, it appeared as though it
could be anyone's race to win as JB Racing/Cheerwine
Can-Am's Jeffrey Rastrelli emerged with the ATVRiders.com
Top Qualifier Award. That fast lap was the first
of Rastrelli's career and granted him first gate
pick for the moto.

Veteran Josh Upperman put his Baldwin Motorsports/PEP/Upperman
Racing Honda up front early in the opening moto
by grabbing the SSi Decals Holeshot Award. The
Ohio native opened a small margin over BCS Performance
Can-Am's Josh Creamer and Wienen, and was able
to set the pace for the first couple laps. Wienen
began his charge to the front early, passing Creamer
for second and then applying pressure on Upperman
for the lead. By the time the field came around
to complete the second lap, Wienen was out front
and proceeded to open a multi-second gap over
the field.

Behind Wienen, the competition was stellar with
Upperman and Creamer going wheel-to-wheel for
several laps in second and third. JB Racing/DWT/Mtn.
Dew Live Wire Can-Am's Joel Hetrick soon joined
the duo, overcoming a fifth-place start to put
himself in the hunt for the podium. From Lap 3
to Lap 6 Hetrick picked off a rider a lap until
he ultimately moved past Creamer for the second
spot. Wienen cruised to the moto win by over six
seconds on Hetrick, with Creamer putting forth
a great ride to finish third. Rastrelli was impressive
in his climb from sixth to fourth, while Wienen
Motorsports/SSi Decals/Walsh Yamaha's Thomas Brown
rounded out the top five. Upperman dropped multiple
positions at the halfway point and finished sixth.

on to lead the first lap with Rastrelli and Motosport.com
