Hurricane
Mills, TN (8/10/2014)
- The 2014 Mtn. Dew ATV Motocross National Championship,
sanctioned by AMA (ATVMX), came to an exciting
conclusion on Saturday as Mother Nature ultimately
played the biggest role in the outcome of the
ninth and final round of the season. Legendary
Loretta Lynn's Ranch was the site of the finale
as the Can-Am ATV Dirt Days, which proved to be
an exclamation point for the third-consecutive
AMA Pro ATV title won by Wienen Motorsports/SSi
Decals/Walsh Yamaha's Chad Wienen, who claimed
his seventh win in nine rounds of competition.

Rain was intermittent throughout the afternoon
in Tennessee, but enough moisture fell to make
for extremely challenging conditions on the Loretta
Lynn's layout. The day began with a new name atop
the practice charts, as Baldwin Motorsports/PEP/Upperman
Racing Honda's Josh Upperman claimed the ATVRiders.com
Top Qualifier Award for the first time this season,
the fourth different rider to do so.

The opening moto wasn't without some drama on
the opening lap as Wienen put himself in control
early, grabbing the SSi Decals Holeshot Award
over Motosport.com/RRR/Ford/DWT/Walsh Honda's
John Natalie. Moments later Natalie made contact
with Wienen while going for the lead, which forced
his ATV to flip.

Wienen emerged from the incident unscathed and
just ahead of his Wienen Motorsports/SSi Decals/Walsh
Yamaha teammate Thomas Brown. Once out front,
the Yamaha duo never looked back and maintained
about a two-second gap over the field, while mere
quad lengths separated them from one another.
Brown kept his boss and mentor honest, but was
unable to make a move. The action behind them,
however, was exciting.

Upperman was able to parlay his top qualifying
time into a third-place start, but he came under
fire from JB Racing/DWT/Mtn. Dew Live Wire Can-Am's
Joel Hetrick and BCS Performance Can-Am's Josh
Creamer.
